Gem Eye Guy,
The only time, I recall, I've seen what "GEM" in your name stands for, was in your reply to Dan's request for prayers for his wife. I urge you to send a request for approval from Rick to add the GEM link to your signature. Looks like a great program for youth in need of both your contributions.

[Rick]

He doesn't need approval for that one.

Here! Here!

I dropped in on GEM. FishingMinnesota is intended to promote fishing and based on my observations, that' what his organization is all about ... and the most important part: getting kids involved. Kids need more opportunities like this. Keep up the good work Dave.

Thanks Rick, we appreciate the opportunity to get the word out if anyone would like to help teach kids who don't have the fathers and grandfathers that we were so blessed with. Rick feel free to drop by our monthly meeting of the kids fishing club to see us in action. We meet the third tuesday of the month at Emmanuel Christian Center 777 N Hwy 65. 7:00 pm

Dave, we do a significant portion of our activities in the North Metro area. Many of the kids involved are from the Anoka or Brooklyn Center area. Feel free to contact anyone listed on our web Page.

Anyone, if you have a child or know a child who would be interested in a program heavy on the fishing, info is available at

Thanks for pointing me to the Tourneys and Events forum. It is one that I had never looked at before. I'll mention Jim W's event to the rest of the GEM staff and I'll let Jim know by the end of Feb if we'll be attending / assisting. Glad to see MinnAqua is there. We do events with Roland S. of MinnAqua 3 or 4 times per year.

I think we may be interested in having you (Rick)as a guest speaker at one of the kids meetings. I'll e-mail you when we have an idea about some choices of what month(s) may work for you and us.

Gem Eye Guy,
Would your organization be interested in being involved with the Fishing Minnesota Trout/Smallie Day put together by Jim W?

The MN DNR gets involved as well as other fishing educators. Please visit the FM Tourneys and Events Forum for more info and please let us know.

I believe this Event is right up your alley.
