free gear is great but is there a way to teach them to fish too? If the parents aren't fish people they may not be interested. Now this is just a suggestion , and I can't partake with my disability, but wouldn't it be great to get a section of a warf/dock sectioned off and let the kids go there with their parents but the "Pro's" do the teaching/fishing. Knots, casting, set the hook, remove the hook, netting etc with all the free gear supplied.
