Spring cleaning!
Since I couldn't go fishing today, I decided to go through all my stuff and weed out some of what I don't use. So...I have 30 partial bags (mostly full) of soft plastics (bass stuff) that I am willing to donate to the BRHSFC.
Mr. President, how do you want to handle this?

Re: Spring cleaning!
I am up for suggestions. The only idea I have is to give a bag to each member and then use the rest as giveaways to people who go to meetings and trips. Let me know want you think because as I said I am up for any ideas.

Re: Spring cleaning!
I also have a ton of plastics and some hardbaits that could use a good home. If you're interested let me know and I will organize and package them up to bring with me the next time I come home. Maybe I can meet up to fish with some of you Ashburn folks and drop them off with you or someone who can pass them along.

Good idea....if DD gives the club some of his stuff as well, it could be part of this.
You could always split up the goods and give each member a few unique pieces.

Re: Spring cleaning!
Will do, Ernie. I will be home for Easter weekend. I'll let you know once I figure out what the plans are with the family. I'm thinking it will most likely be Saturday morning/afternoon.
Now I have to get organizing all my extra stuff!

Re: Spring cleaning!
Ok, I will try to drop them off with Ernie and have him pass them along if that's ok with him.
Ernie, as of now I am aiming to go fishing this Saturday morning/afternoon. Do you have time to show me around some AV ponds and catch some fish or at least enough time to meet so I can drop my extra stuff off with you?

Re: Spring cleaning!
Considering the amount of tackle, you may want to organize prizes for the various fishing excursions. A little competition with rewards never hurts.
Here are some competitions you could try in the meantime outside of your tournaments and through the end of school:
1. Biggest fish - by length or weight - pictured required
2. Most fish in a single day
3. Most fish starting on April 12 through the end of school
You could limit the waters to those in the area such as AV lakes, Beaverdam, and Goose Creek/Potomac. The honor system would be required, but it could be a good way to get more participation on the forum and interest in the benefits of spring fishing.
If it were easy, they'd call it catching!

Re: Spring cleaning!
When I first saw spring cleaning, I actually thought about "cleaning". I think a great eco-friendly/conservation activity would be to have a trash pick up project around the AV Lakes. Considering the amount of wind we have had, a lot of junk has accumulated on the east ends of the lakes.
This could be done by the BRHSFC or other similar group. Thoughts?

Re: Spring cleaning!
Both of your ideas are great ones and I will look into both of them!
