ISO Ponds for a Mentoring Event September 16

[cwyatt]

Probably a long shot here but I am involved in an organization that some of you may recognize on here called Truth in Nature (https://truthinnature.org/). We mentor boys between 12 and 16 that are in fatherless homes and center the program on the outdoors, life skills, and Christian faith. I am organizing out monthly event for September and wanted to see if anyone had access to ponds with a good population of panfish, catfish, bass, etc. in the tri-county area that they would be willing to let us use for a 5-6 hour event. I know that is a big ask but looking to find something where we can give the kids some action even if it is just yanking out panfish with crickets and a cane pole. In no means do we want to intrude on anyone's trophy lakes just looking for some action to keep the young ones engaged. Thanks for your consideration. - Chip

I should also mention that we would provide release from liability forms for all mentors and kids.

Chip,

I have a whole river, and it would be a privilege to drown crickets, set bushlines, whatever.

BigBrother, that is incredibly generous of you. I will PM you my phone number and maybe we can link up for a quick call tomorrow so I can give you a little more information. Thanks!

I am in the upstate, and do not have a pond, but this sounds like an organization I could get behind. Mind if I send you a pm to get a little more info?

[cwyatt]

ersepton, please feel free to shoot me a PM. Happy to get on a call and tell you a little bit more about TIN. We currently have chapters in Charleston, Columbia and Hampton but always looking to expand the outreach.
