12 Year Old Girl Looking for Equipment

[jpc26]

My daughter just went to a educational event held by our local Surf Anglers Assocation. She wants to get some saltwater fishing stuff to start her off. I am a single Mom and can only do so much. If anyone can donate any old saltwater fishing gear it would be appreciated.

[Duff1]

Where are you located?, have a few surf rods.

[Captain's John & Diana]

Have both surf and boat fishing equipment and I cannot think of a better place than at your house to help out your daughter. We live in South Jersey and give us a call or e-mail and we can make arrangements.

I can't ship you equipment (I am in FLA), but I have some fishing books. I can email you titles and she can decide which she may like. I believe there are some great women angler clubs in S. Jersey also. I am sure some of the men here could guide you to them. All the best to your daughter.:)

[FISHNFOOL]

Email me with the area your from I live in Magnolia, I have some surf stuff here to help out, if someone donates a rod that might need fixing I might be able to help there also..
Hope to hear from you soon, always nice to help a up and coming angler out!!!

[dozer 277]

I hope this is legit. i was taken by a woman years ago at a yard sale. she told me this sob story about her handicapped grandson and not having any money. i gave her about 1000 dollars worth of kids toys for around 50 bucks and delivered it to her house too. next day it was on her front lawn for sale. neighbors said she does this all the time.:mad: hopefully she just cannot spend that much time on the bass barn like we do.

[Fluke4960]

Not even a Thank You! Be carefull

[PTR]

I bust my butt for every penny of fishing equiptment I own. why can't you? :huh: I make very little money, yet I own a ton of really nice stuff.

it was easy to tell from the begining that this was fraudulent :thumbsdown:

[FisherMan120]

[tunatime71]

Not even a Thank You! Be carefull

AHH, forget it, just go to Dicks!

[jpc26]

Sorry I havent responded to anyone on this site, I was told by my son-in-law that I should post on SOL instead as most members there are in Monmouth/Ocean
County. I'm not a fraud. I work 2 jobs and dont get child support, my ex-husband is a dead beat dad and owes $85,000 in child support. Doing what I can to keep a roof over my kids head.

[jpc26]

Thank you DUFF1 - really appreciate your help. If your up this way fishing sometime, let me know, I'll bring her down to the beach.

Hey dozer - good name for the way you feel. Have to say you made me feel like crap for trying to get my daughter Saltwater fishing stuff. See my post at the end of this thread. Wonder what you would do in my situation.....just tell her you cant fish?????

[Duff1]

Glad to able to help, hope she enjoys it. Post a big fish for all to see.
Good luck in your situation, I know a few people who are in the same boat. Don't understand why someone would not want to take care of there kid.
This site is great for helping people and getting info. Also a few fishing tips here and there. Enjoy your stay.:wave:
Take Care,

No I think he gave you the benefit of the doubt. If you would like to focus on one area to receive things from, target that area. BB covers wide geographical area.

There are many many good people here. I wish you the best with helping your daughter get involved in a lifetime sport. It will get her through good and bad times. It will always give her something to work towards.


** had to edit after I saw you posted this:

I am very sorry for your situation. I think Big Brother/Big Sister can also help and there are many Fishing Clubs in South Jersey full of very generous people. They could be very helpful teaching her also.

If you can understand, we see a new name and 1 or 2 posts and your asking for help, people here offered it/no condition or explanation. They never asked your situation and that speaks volumes about the members here and how they are willing to help another fisherman.

Well, you should understand what hes saying. You only have a couple of post, and there are people like that. Not saying you are, but the internet covers everything. You never know.

[jpc26]

I couldnt get a picture of my daughter and her new equipment to download on this forum. I did get it to download on SOL though. Thank you all for your help.

[Onthehook]

Is she cool on equipment? Let us know how she makes out this year:)

[FISHNFOOL]

Becky Has been officially PIMPED OUT with gear from fisherman a lil closer to her home...here is the link so everyone can see the picture of her and the new gear....I thought the same guys, watch out but it looks legit:thumbsup:

Are you guys sure she need poles 3 times bigger then her? :eek:

[wanna50]

never mind

[Daddy's Toy]

LOL How do many fisherman (sorry, fisherpersons ;) ) justify 30-50 fishing outfits? Or more!

My wife STILL asks me that. :rolleyes:

[jpc26]

I think Becky has enough fishing takle now. She has a 12' pole, 10' pole, 8 1/2' pole all w/reels and a bunch of plugs. Somebody is sending her fresh bait gear. So...looks like I will be spending alot of time on the beach!

[jeenyus139]

Well I wish your daughter the best of luck with her new found interests!:thumbsup:

[Re-Bait]

The rods look a little big for her:o, hope she gets a few volunteer instructors!

My girlfriend doesnt understand why I have 70 some outfits and still buy a half dozen or so more every year...I tell her I need a different outfit, for every type of fish. Same with guns, you can never have too many... Good luck in the Surf Becky, Thats one sport that I dont get into

[twofishbabz]

My daughter Shannon & i would love to host u & ur daughter on a trip this fall or in the spring drop me a private pist. We have tackle and would donate a boat rod & reel to the the mission of getting another young lady outfitted for the sport.

If times are that tough for you that you cant buy your kid a 29 dollar fishing outfit and it means that much to you then you should use your energy trying to better your finances.A single mom with 2 jobs taking care of a kid and has no money but still has the time chat online? Sounds like a person that has had things handed to you for a long time. If im wrong i am sorry but times are tough for everyone these days. Stay offline get another job with that time buy your kid a pole and send some money to the homeless.

[bowbreaker]

to riprnner................ you sir are a fn d''''k. that is probally the most ignorant reply i have ever seen on this site. happy holidays to you!!
