Your Christmas "Fishing" Wish List?
 

I could use a few hundred yards of braid, a nice fillet knife and maybe a few new medium action rods.

Of course gift cards are always good too for those last minute things I need to buy before my big camping and fishing trips.

What are you hoping for, boat or fishing related this year?

What are you hoping to NOT get? :eek:

Love to see an HDS 10 under the tree but know Santa's budget is tight so likely be some new heavy duty socks and perhaps a light action rod for Spot catching.

This will work....:D:D:D

Ah...you need a new surf rod. Didn'tthink you were into surf fishing.:p

i'm hoping for a stcroix 6-8mxf with LH revo s. but hell - i'm not picky,...

Ooohhh......and boat stuff. I can always use Yamalube and Startron. Seems I never have enough at the house when I need it.

I can make your wishes come true for some nice rods, hell I can even build Brian that surf rod that he wants... Just have your wives give me a call. :D Just trying to drum up some business, things are really slow right now and last year I was scrambling to get all my orders done by Xmas

Santa got me a nice pair of out-rodders or rod-riggers or what ever they are called. I'd also like to see a pair of new ETEC 200s with controls under the tree.

More time on the water!

Steve is no joke:D. As most of you know, to call me a jigger would be quite a stretch. HOWEVER; last year I made a couple trips to the Power Plant in early Feb. and I made a couple trips with friends jigging the False Channel. My experience at the Power Plant convinced me I needed at least one nice jigging rod to be able to take with me on jigging trips. Steve built me a 6'2" beautiful rod that I now use for almost everything:eek:. It has quickly become my favorite rod. I use it for bottom fishing, livelinning, and jigging. In fact, sometime this summer, I broke the tip and Steve made arrangements to pick up the rod from a friend, replace the tip, and get the rod back to me ASAP. He wouldn't even take compensation for replacing the tip.
Now I'm not saying this to kiss Steve's behind; I'm just commenting in case the wife or girlfriend wants to get you something for Christmas, and she doesn't know what to get. Why not tell her you want a custom rod (I had my initials put on mine). If Steve can not get it done before Christmas, he always has a table at the TriState fishing show where you can pick it up.
Most of my other rods are collecting dust. I'm amazed how versitile the rod is and how comfortable I am with fishing it.
A great present for him, or her.

Oh, by the way, I tried out my new Christmas present yesterday. I've been wanting a new pair of binoculars for the boat. After a lot of searching, I decided on a pair of Bushnell H2O (waterproof, fogproof) 8x42 binoculars.

They were excellent for the price I paid (about 80 bucks from binoculars.com with free shipping). They are small, lightweight, and easy to focus.

I like them:D.

Now if I can just find some gannets diving:eek:.

I'm getting a new Trane heat pump :mad: and all new led lights for my trailer :D

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. On a positive note, maybe the new heat pump will be a lot more efficient and you'll save a ton of money to spend on gas for your boat.

I got new LED lights for my trailer for my birthday one year.:cool:

Skip, You stole my thunder on the whole HDS-10 thing. I don't know if Santa will bring one, but hopefully, I will have one up and running by this coming April...

Don - Before you buy , touch base. Perhaps we can get a deal if two units are ordered.

Still have to get with you about windlass. Be a good winter project.

Be sure to give our host a shot at getting those units for y'all.:)

I know I am getting an new FF/Plotter unit (either and HDS 5 or an Elite 5), not sure which one. I could always use another rod and/or reel to add to my never-ending collection.

I bought my GF a Steve F perch rod that is top notch and I am super excited to give it to her!!!

That is awesome! Your girl likes to fish? Lucky man.

I think that's what I want for Christmas....a girlfriend that likes to fish.

Of course.....my wife might object.....:eek:

I'll be treating myself to a Steve F rod for my birthday in March....might even get my son one of those Perch rods for his birthday too.

Marty, I really appreciate the kind words and I can’t wait for you bring it that 40’er on it.

You should see the rod I built for ste6168 girlfriend; it has some bling no doubt about that.

Scott, looking forward to building that rod for ya, all you have to do is give me a call in March and I’ll get it done.

So how did the Old fat Bastard treat everyone?

I got a new Medium Heavy 7' rod, some new Storm swimbaits and a couple of fishing related books......and some new fillet knives.

Oh...and the fishing version of Monopoly..."Fishopoly"..:D

My boy loves Monopoly and fishing, so we'll have a lot of fun playing together.

I got inflatable suspenders..I guess my wife wants them to find my body if I fall overboard so she can get the insurance money..

I wouldn't mind something like that for my spring bass tournaments.

Don't forget everyone; inflatables don't count as a pfd onboard unless you're WEARING it.
