Ive got my brand new Aquaview 700 and it hits the ice with me every time. might bring the fish finder too, set them up so they can see them on the finder then on the camera. Jigging instructions will mean a lot more if they can actually watch the jig and see how it works when they jig it. I learned a lot last winter watching on the camera. Pretty cool watching a burb try and eat the camera too :sHa_shakeshout: or maybe Moby, Im kind of worried this camera looks maybe too realistic! good things it a 200 pound test cable. I hope one of the kids hooks a 30 pounder, that would be the highlight of their day for sure!

If one of the kids does hook into a 30lbser you could test out your gator noodling skills trying to get it up through the hole Wayne.

I better make sure to have the video camera ready to capture that event.

Okay i believe we can work some type of rotatation so every child gets some TV time.....i have 2 cams.

The one thing i ask is all volunteers leave their snowmobiles and quads a home, for safety reasons. Yes the kids would love a ride but safety equipment will be a huge issue.

What do you guys think of me starting a sponsor a kid thread in the Gen Section? I was considering asking 15 bucks a kid. All monies would be used at the event and books would be kept to show we did not profit. All if any left over monies will be presented to the involved clubs or to another deserving organization..eg childrens hospital
Thoughts?

I also have a cam and flasher I could bring with.

I think that is a great idea Chub. It may help to fund what ever gear we may need to buy that isn't donated.

I tried to track down the managers at both Wholesale and Princess Auto today but was unsuccessful. I will give it another go on Monday during the day.

sponsor a kid
 

Count myself and the lady in for one each. Nate, for myself, not a chance, but if some kid does happen to hook Moby I guess I have 10 fingers, some of them dont work quite right anyways. Maybe I will invest in some kevlar gloves, the way I fillet that might be a good idea anyways. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

i think thats a great idea,,,,,:sHa_shakeshout:

WOW.....thanks HT:sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout:

Chubb I fully support going into general forum for support. We are an entire community, not just the fishing side. I think we may find some more volunteers to come out as well :)

Ya think that would be a great idea.

I will bring a raft of cameras and sonars and probably a decent amount of giveaways for the kids both big and small. You night have just created a monster here Chub. My wife is good friends with the director of the Airdrie Boys and Girls Club. I'm sure they will be all over something like this.

Wow,I guess I have been neglecting the fishing forum for too long! LOL!

If I am available that weekend,I will be out for sure Chubb to help in any way I can. If I am not available for whatever reason,my gear will be made available.

What a great thread.

make it a sticky so it stays at the top, just a suggestion. :)

I thank you very much.

Thank You so very much, your generousity is awesome.

WC....i will wait till the final numbers are in to start the thread. There is alot of contact requests out at the present time and i would like to give them a chance to respond with donations.

The B@G clubs have a huge amount of work to contact all the children and care givers before they can confirn numbers.

You should get a real phone, or answer....lol

Thanks a bunch. I'm recruiting a couple non-fishermen/women for cooks. We will chat about the meat/buns as I may be on a tight budget, but hopefully I can foot the bill :)

If I can catch a burb with beeguy around... lmao... anyone can catch a burb :)

Here I was kinda counting on getting a bunch of free Darters for the season. Anyone got dibs on the M1000? LOL!!!

My phone is almost brand new,it's only 50 years old. I'm on a party line,3 long and 2 short. Maybe I'll get one of those new rotary phones and hang it on the MacTac in the Kitchen.

Talk to ya next week.

Awesome generousity....thanks HorseTrader. I'll text a angel to save a spot in heavan for you,lol.

Thanks Chubb but just save me a chair at Hooters instead lol

I'm certain that I will have the same success this year (at some point) as long as I put in the same care and attention to detail as last year!

We will have to meet up at some point again this year so that I can teach you how to shake off those hammer handles and finally catch some big pike for a change. LOL!!

I'm sure that I will see you on the ice before this event. I'm hoping to get out a bit more this year if I can.

Thanks for the compliment Dace. I know that you do more than your fair share when it comes to helping out as well.

This is going to be a great event. I am really looking forward to it.

thought i would give this a bump. we could still use volunteers for this good cause. thanks to everyone thats helped so far.
