Mountainryan Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hey SU, want to throw something out there. I got a younger guy, he conventional fishes and no one in his family fishes (no pops in the picture). He's got a great attitude for a kid who has seen way too much sh@t. I took him out on the boat yesterday (never fished in a boat) and his mind was blown on swimbaits. He was so stoked and so appreciative that I gathered up a bunch of my beginner baits like the bbz, small hudd, spro rat small swaver ect and gave him them. He was so pumped that after fishing for 6 hours with me he took out his kayak and caught a 4.8 on the spro rat. Yeah, bug officially caught. It's a pretty rad feeling to teach someone else even though I am no expert and I look forward to continuing. Here's the rub, he is way under gunned on his gear. He supports himself and doesn't have much cash. This isn't campo and I hope he didn't kill the SU spirit. What I'm looking for is a simple beginning rod like a guide select, used is fine as long as it's in working order. Reel such as a 300 lexa in right hand. If it needs bearings it's fine I will replace. Not looking for free hand outs, I will help him buy, just affordable quality gear. Reply here or PM me. Warning. If you try and do something cool on the down low I will give you public credit haha.

Speaking of Campo, he was on Badlands yesterday looking for a swimbait setup for his "roommate". timcauliffe, BrhodesBassin, Mountainryan and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountainryan Posted September 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Huge thank you to everyone who offered to help. Zsneezes, striperaddict, bigslant, scummybadger, luv-2-catchem. I think I have him a little pile of starter baits and will snag some here and there. The generosity of SU never ceases to amaze. Keep killing it guys. I will try and post updates on his progress until he is ready to crest a profile! Ryan danthefisherman and Craig 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
