P.S.

🎣 Gear Donation Reminder!

Please remember to bring any rods, reels, tackle, tackle boxes, lures, or other gear you’re willing to part with.

At our last meeting, Big T-Doc (985-705-8826) kindly volunteered to collect these items and deliver them to Wish To Fish.Org — a great organization that refurbishes used gear and puts it into the hands of young anglers just getting into the sport.

Let’s help support the next generation of fishermen and women. If it’s in your garage collecting dust, chances are it could be the spark that inspires a kid to fall in love with fishing.
