Turn out was limited due to rain ( typical for me )
But we pulled it off.
Venue was local white water outfitter.
Adults are all law enforcement .
And the kids. Well the kids are special cases the FOP pays special attention to.
All victims of various hardships.
I’m in the yellow rain jacket.
The big kid beside me on black and white shirt ( only 14. Big boy ) and the kid in the colorful shirt are brothers.
They were orphaned when his father. A firefighter was killed on the job.
The little black dude next to me was one cool little dude.
First in and snatched up the red rod immediately.
They all got starter tackle boxes.
Every one was appreciative.
The two cops on the left assured me they would get the remaining outfits into the hands of the kids who couldn’t make it.

Thank you all for your support.
We will do it again next year.

And there is a winter clothes thing comming up I promised I would help with

Looks like a good turnout even with the rain Ben. You will be well blessed for taking an interest in helping those kids out and I’ll be willing to bet that they were excited. I wish I was closer and could help you out but know that I am there in spirit at least. I’m sure you don’t hear it enough Ben,but thank you for showing an interest and sharing your knowledge

My fishing club has a similar event coming up in a couple of weeks. Well put about 100 plus kids on the beach after we supply gear and bait. Full blown contest with all sorts of prizes and grab bags for the kids. The first 25 that register get a surf outfit to take home. One of my best days of fishing all year.

Shoot me an email at barronscustombaits@gmail.com next year before this event, I’d love to send some baits down for the kids. I’m a deputy sheriff in Marion, so I’d be happy to get behind this event!

Will do Barron
The kids who are smiling , well that’s worth a million bucks to me.
Those that weren’t. Well maybe they prefer to smile inside.
That’s alright too
Hope they catch a bunch and the occasional big un.
That’s what keeps us all comming back for more.
