Help for a friend
 
One of "Our Guys" has run into some medical issues as of late and had some other lousy luck dumped on him as well. Said individual will remain nameless for the moment but I want to do something to help out and replace a couple fishing items. He's a good, if occasionally cantankerous individual (no, not Clammer) who deserves a nice Xmas present. So I am looking for a few volunteers to match a few bucks with me.

I am not looking to run a whole charity raffle or an auction but looking for people to toss a 10 spot here and there. I'm going to put in $40 out of my pocket and I'm looking for another 10 or 20 up for tossing in ten bucks or so, a little more or a little less is fine, and maybe a plug from the plug guys.

Once the money is in I will "procure" a couple nice new items for said occasionally cantankerous :buds: individual and present said gear, unwrapped :hihi: to said occasionally cantankerous :buds: individual. OK, he's really not a occasionally cantankerous :buds: individual but I'm taking the liberty to call him such :hee:

So if a few people want to join me, toss some coin into the S-B donate http://www.striped-bass.com/donate.shtml and when the deed is done I will make an announcement of sorts :lm:

Thanks!

John

Hi John,
I have no idea who you all are, but, I am always good in helping people. How's about a MP3 players for your friend, so he can listen to his favorite music while he rest or fish? It is worth about $149.00 at best buy. They say that music stimulates the mind and that should help him get better health wise and maybe change his luck too. I want to thank all from this site that gave me helps with striper fishing this year. I hope we can be fishing friends thru out the years. Happy holidays to all...

:wiggle: :wavey:
