Pretty freaking cool Jeff!! You and Nate are making it happen. Love it. Those are some special times sharing that forst time experience with others. Bet Nate carries these memories in a special place!

Thanks, Dave. Yep, pretty cool stuff. I keep meeting pastors who've never fished or hunted. Looks like I'll have a full plate this summer trying to get them out on the boat. I'm really enjoying this.

The last 2 days my 15 year old and I had the opportunity to take out some first timers.

Jack (12) went salmon fishing and crabbing for the first time. He’s the son of a Sr. Pastor, who’s shared a desire to learn how to become a solid fisherman.

And Levi (11) went salmon fishing and crabbing for the first time too. He’s the son of a Children’s Pastor.


Then, today, we switched gears and took out an Associate Pastor and his two little kids for their first time fishing.

What. A. Blast.

The 2 year old and 5 year old were thrilled when they opened their new tackle boxes filled with gear (donated by many HUNT-WA members), got their own fishing rods and reels, played with worms, and of course, landed their first fish.

The dad, explained how he hopes to learn more about fishing and give his kids more meaningful memories like today with each other.

This is a busy week. I'll be taking four separate trips hosting first-timers on three of them!  :IBCOOL:

If anyone has more tackle or gear available, just let me know. I'll be busy filling up tackle boxes this week. On the docket, I'm taking out:

  - Monday - a pastor's son and my son
  - Wednesday - a ministry director and his two 9 year old twins (never fished before)
  - Thursday - the same ministry director and his 14 year old daughter (never fished before)
  - Friday - a ministry leader and wounded warrior that struggles with PTSD (never fished from a boat before)

It's gonna be a good week!

As the season begins to slow down, I'm reflecting on all the great moments getting pastors, ministry leaders, missionaries, and their children out on the water for first time fishing and catching.

What an adventure. The smiles. The laughter. The high-fives. The shock on a person's face when they catch their first salmon or when they see the sunrise on the horizon.

I'm closing out fishing with first-timers with some more photos of more adventures. Thank you to everyone who donated fishing rods, reels, tackle, tackle boxes, and money to buy licenses, etc. If you'd like to give and keep this going, please send me a DM.

Enjoy these photos with folks who enjoyed a day on the water with my son and I.

Well, folks, spring fishing is coming up soon. Thought I'd update this thread for those interested in helping me get more "first timers" and their kids fishing.

If you'd like to donate rods, reels, tackle boxes, tackle, lures, bait, etc. or donate to the cause, please send me a PM. I'm expecting it to be a busy spring/summer helping pastors, ministry leaders, and their kids get on the water.

Getting ready for new fishing opportunities this spring/summer. I've got 20+ first-timers lined up with their kids or spouses to get out on the water. If you've got any gear you'd like to donate or would like to make a tax-deductible donation, just let me know.

Thanks!

The 2022 Season of Fishing with Pastors and their kids has begun! Here's some photos from this past week.

If you'd like to help sponsor a trip, please contact me for more information on how to donate gear or a trip. All financial gifts are tax-deductible.

The first picture is with a Youth for Christ director and his 17 year old son. They've never fished with my son and I before. We had a great outing this past Wednesday getting some time on the water chasing trout. They've already requested any open dates in the future to hit the water for bass, perch, sunfish, or salmon.

The second is a picture of the same director watching my 16 year old as he teaches the father/son pair how to bait the hooks. Nate (my son) is my right-hand man helping me provide these trips.

This next set of photos was taken this past Thursday when I took out a local church Associate Pastor and his 16 year old son for salmon. The two met my son and I at our house at 4:30am excited for the opportunity to get out on the water. It was the first nice day of summer and the sun was shining - which is a win in my book any day.

The pastor, "J", said "this is a real treat - especially since we can't get out on the water on our own...without a boat or the gear needed, we'd never have much success catching salmon. Even more, we never get time to do this together - ministry life is so busy, I'm thrilled at the chance to spend some time with my son fishing."

The day was epic. We began catching fish as soon as we hit the water and the father/son duo went to work reeling in fish. What a blast for all of us as we all caught a limit of coho.
