For HBC-3

I've been trying to think of some creative ways to help out but have been a little busy this past week moving and starting a new job.

Brainstorms, sponsorships, or cold hard cash are all possibilities if you want to help a big bass Cali angler make it out to Texas. I'll revisit this later when I have more time, but wanted to get it up on the site to help spread the word.

thanks Rob....If anyone wants to donate any used lures post them here or in the for sale section on TT and donate the proceeds to paypal address bassindon69@aol.com if you don't have paypal send the money to PO BOX 642 Dos Palos,CA 93620. So far we've managed the entry fee and a few hundred which is still less than half of the target to cover gas,food,lodging,etc....

every bit counts guys....I know some of you have some old swimbaits you've retired!

Thank you very much for trying guys.

Don.

Thats right guys the auction is on and will be over 7 pm on Sunday Aug 31st. Its the rare matsumo night stalker raptor ONE and ONE only in the world. Very rare and would make a great addition to anyones collection. I cant put a value on this bait but its worth it to me to help Bassindon. Guys its hard for me to keep everyone happy so if I was short on the phone or in person at any time I apologize. Thats just the way I am and dont meen to be arrogant or indifferent. I hope this bait will bring a couple bucks to Dons friends sponsorship. lINK IS BELOW FOR AUCTION
