Im not sure if he's interested in manual auger, but I've got an 8" Eskimo auger that's pretty much brand new that Id be willing to donate. PM me if he'd be interested.

Pike Walleye , they Fished the lake alot as they lived in town and traveled a short ways to the lake .
Only reason I am putting this out there is he has a trip booked for june 30th to july 18 to Travers and Newell . And I am looking for a small boat for him , Ive got a small motor he can use . Even if It was to lend for that time as he will be eventually getting a new boat from the insurance but they will not cover all his tackle rods etc .

I've got one or two spinning reels I can pitch in.
sureshot - you're a good man. If that auger ends up being donated I've still got a 6" one you can have

Hey Orv , Like I said to Sureshot I think we need to hold off on the Ice fishing stuff , main thing is to get a few rods for him and his kids .

Im not worried about the auger for right now main thing is to get him some tackle and rods so he can attend his trip .Would be a good time for him to forget about everything and just relax and cry or whatever it is hes gonna do , and catch fish .
As for the Tackle maybe we can meet up some place .

I have been debating something all day ever since I read this thread......... If I could get my boat all primed and running before his trip and all set up and take it for a few runs, I would be willing to let him use it for his trip....... It would be a hell of alot safer for him, wife, and most importantly 3 kids on big lakes like travers and newell than a little boat would be.
It's not a matter of trusting the person to borrow it or not. but a matter of getting everything sorted out and (most importantly) tested in time. I wouldn't want to send them out and have something break down.
Just makes me wish I could get it done sooner but its going to be depended on alot other things that I cant really expedite.

I can also add a 5 ft Homer J Simpson spinning rod to the pool. I pulled it out of a trout pond. Reel was not useable though. Does anyone have a spincast reel I can pair up with this?

right now Id say maybe spare line , maybe an extra tackle box , or spincast reel .
I talked to Rumtan he has a few kids rods hed like to give away for this cause , Chubbydarter has some crankbaits , Geezle has a couple rods and or reels , Ive got 5 rods with no reels , another fella has offered up his boat and motor incase Braun wont have his in time . Ghost guy has a rod and reel hes willing to help out . Sureshot has a tackle box with some stuff , and ice auger , ORV has some ice fishing rods and tip ups . So out of all that looking pretty good except for reels and line maybe a rod case , Im gonna custom make him some Pike spinners . I know there was one fella cant remember his name off top of my head that wants to donate a 100 gift card for fishin hole , Badback also sent me 30.00 to go towards some stuff. I bought some weights and bobbers some plane hooks , spinner blade , clevises and some other stuff today with that money .
