Something we need to do.

I posted this on another site a few days ago. Thought I would post it here for everyone to see. This is an example of what a guide does in his spare time. A few months ago I got a call from Brad Whitehead ( Crappie Connection Guide Service in North Alabama 256-381-7231) for some help. He was invited by a local Boy Scout troup to do a siminar. 17 kids, man he needed help. I met Brad for one of the best nights that I can remember. 2 hours of fun. We carried both boats, GPS, maps, baits, and samples. Just think 17 kids in your boat! They were great. Can`t wait until we get invited again. We talked about safety, GPS, bait building and fishing. If you get a chance to do this DO IT !!!!

The samples were supplied by THE ORIGINAL FISH FORMULA

17 kids in my 18 6 Champion, LOL, I don't think so, maybe two or three!

What a great job Jeff!

Woah!

That is "way cool" as my kids say to me when they like something.
I was in girl scouts as a kid and can't remember doing anything more exciting than building sit-upons out of newspaper.
I can't imagine an evening spent having more fun (even if it was work too)
Super great idea!

Before everyone gets excited, we didn`t go out in the boats. We just had a great time at their meeting. 17 would be too many for my boat also.

Heck, that's a usual trip for me when my SIX kids all want to go at the same time. lol I can only take a few at a time in my rig. It's just a wonderful thing to take a kid fishing. That's how I became a diehard.

i spent some time as a scout leader (6 years) and i must say the event i remember most was the "fish-o-rama" our pack had 28 boys and there were at least 20 other packs from around the sate there. each kid brought a parent and camped and fished fro 2 days......prizes were given and those events created quite a few future crappie.com members......

that many kids from ages 7-13 can be a handfull but it was worth it

I bet a lot of the kids will remember a lot of stuff from that evening.
And it just may turn them into a fisherman for life..

I know when I was bass fishing, Our club had a fish day every year. WE would all take 1 or 2 kids that did not get to go fishing. And they loved it. Always caught fish, may have been small fish. But they would catch something. Theres times I will see one or 2 of the kids I took. and they still fish and love it.
