wolfman Jack Loc: Chico, California 95973
 
I have been fishing since I can remember and I am 74 years old. The list of fish I have not pursued is shorter than the list of fish I have pursued. More fresh water than salt water. I had a cabin cruiser in the Delta for 30 years. Fished more of the open water than the back water.

I have some equipment for Delta fishing I am interested in passing on to someone. I would like the equipment to go to someone with some special need. Combat Vets, younger people wanting to learn more about fishing, someone that would appreciate having some equipment with a history. My kids are not interested in fishing the way I have been. They have their own life to live and God Bless them for going their way.

Chico is my base and I would prefer to deal with someone nearby.

If you have any thoughts, let me know.

These days I fish occasionly with friends when they invite me. Usually the Sacramento River or Lake Shasta.

Hoss: There are probably bulletin boards around, say in the tackle shops and perhaps even the boat dealers, You might offer tro sell, in order not to be swamped with "free loaders" and then when you find the right person, cut your deal! Just Sayin....RJS

Welcome Wolfman. I'm sort of in the same predicament. If you find an organization that you think is reputable, will you let me know?

Healing Waters is an organisation that helps disabled and physically challenged VETS . They teach them how to use fishing equipment. Supply them with the rod and reel, and is theirs to keep along with any other equipment that they use. Google HEALING WATERS to find information. If you have problems contacting someone pm me and I'll get it and send it to you. Several members of our VFW are volunteers that work with the veterans.
H.W. is supported by donations from individuals, sporting goods manufacturers, sporting goods stores. There is never a charge or fee for the veterans to pay. DEEJAY
