Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I was sitting in my shop the other day drinking a beer (minding my own business) when my little bride came out, looked around and announced that I had twenty eight fishing poles (not counting the four in the truck). I pointed to the work bench as I informed her that I had fifty wrenches and they were all for different jobs. After the door slammed I got to thinking (with another beer) that I was obsessed with garage sales. It occurred to me that about two dozen of them havent been used in a long while. Question is how to get this stuff in the hands of new fishermen or women (young or old)? Any Ideas or suggestions?

slip stinker;; if the shoes bit doesn't get them;; next step is-- how many purses do you have??  always stay ahead of them !!  works for me for years!!!

Thanks for the ideas. We had a cold spell for a few days and I took the time to go through some things and made up a couple of basic tackle boxes, rigged some of the rods. I talked to a friend about the wounded warrior program. He has jumped in the middle of that. Also trying to get some stuff into some kids hands, maybe when spring gets here I'll have more luck with that.
