MarkH024 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Wonder what his parents would think if they saw this thread?Probably nothing. As a parent myself, I see a lot of my peers with kids that have no business having kids. People are so wrapped up in themselves and social media it's sickening. Needless to say I've detached myself from individuals like that now as has my wife. I hope they do see this but they won't. Many parents don't know what their own kids are up to these days.

Swimbaitchucker Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 This is unreal... I remember my first membership to a forum. Good luck with the baits kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 BigSlant.....I think you're trying to see the good in everyone...a good trait, by the way. But go back and read the opening post of this thread again....it's a load of crap. His Parents REFUSE to support his fishing, he has to work to HELP his family, he doesn't even have $100 for a Deps 250. Then somewhere he states his family is wealthy, another thread he has $150 for a setup, he refers to himself as a "youngster".......kid is a total manipulater that thinks we are idiots. Social media at it's best, say what you want, no reprocussions. It's a nice gesture you gave him some baits, shows your character but tells me nothing about his. He should take the baits, fish them, and lay low for awhile. yeah Doug I know what he said..he definitely has taken advantage of the site and members..it's an entitlement thing for sure..I live near him and know the neighborhood he lives in is affluent..his parents probably think fishing is gross..I'm just trying to give him the benefit of doubt but he's definitely making things hard for himself lol..I'm not defending him I'm just trying to make myself feel better for lining the pockets of the fat cats!

basssavage24/7 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I think cheap big soft plastic might be your best as well making your own you can hit up craiglist for day jobs when i lived in smalltown there was framers looking for young kids with strongbacks to buck hay. But the good part is you dont have to pay rent and bills so the money you get can be put into this hobby. And picking up any lose change can help i did that for three months without spending it and had over a hundred dollars and thats without a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimbaitchucker Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Doesnt seem like he wants to throw the soft plastics...he keeps mentioning Deps250s and large, expensive baits. Kind of sounds like hes just chasing names instead of fish. Rjoyal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campobassmaster Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I would like to clarify all of this and put an end to this thread in hopes to put myself in a better light as I did not mean to come off so poorly. - Anthony, once again thank you for the baits--- I am very excited and thank you for getting where I come from. After reading what you said I truly realize that I do come off as eager and too quick and need to slow myself down and respect older anglers who have jobs and support families which I do. You have been a great help outside of the forums too -- I would like to thank an anonymous donated who would like to stay that way unless he chooses to comment so, thank you thank you thank you for the baits you sent. I would like to say that he told me to trade the baits if they do not work at my local waters which some don't, and I would never sell or flip them, only trade which is what he said to do. -- I also would like to clarify why I posted a WTB thing, after losing a bait in a pond that I am currently trying to retrieve, my family decided that since I have gotten good grades in summer school and have helped out a lot around the yard and with my fathers business they are willing to invest some money to get me the proper gear and they know about me getting these baits and believe I did not need to but that those who gave me them are very generous people. I also happened to have sold off a few of my favorite possesions to possibly buy myself gear, which my family hasn't allowed me to sell until now when I talked to them about what I truly want to do - I would like to apologize to all of those who I have made angry or have given a wrong impression of myself to, I am not blaming it on my young age and impulsiveness, I take full responsibility I won't be blaming my parents or any outside possible sources as to my behaviors. I would like to say sorry for all of the dismay I have caused and would like to possibly put myself in a better light with the SBU community because many of you if not all of you are great people, especially those I have personally talked to or messaged with. I do come from an affluent neighborhood and have finally negotiated with my family a way that I can either go and work a job for money or get rewarded by them, we are contrary to popular belief republicans here in California and my dad wants me to learn the value of hard work, which I know seems ironic but I tried to state that I am willing to work for baits and I have worked more hours over my summer so far than I have gotten to do anything else. -if anyone has some concerns questions or needs for clarification or possible advice I would love if you could give it to me over email or text instead of here as I believe this thread is no longer needed.. -again SBU, I am very sorry for all of this and would like to redeem myself in some way as I would like to stay with this forum (510)780-6785 Jjbrown1212@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDBEAD Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 FYI, you're "paid" by your parents every damn day you wake up with a roof over your head and the ability to put food in your face. Suck it up and stop making excuses. I saw a pat on the back referenced earlier. I think a good swift kick a little further south would do you some more good. Good luck.
