What did Santa bring you this year ? (fishing related)

[getthenet]

Since my wife has took a liking to my favorite jigging rod and reel,I got a new Shakespear light/medium grafite rod with a matched 5 ball bearing reel,pretty nice ! Also an assortment of different colored and weight jigs.(getting the tackle box ready) Lastly a new T-shirt with the question"Where you going fishing?Duh,where the fish are !" Santa must have though I was a good boy.What about you?

I must of been a real good boy, I got a paid trip to Ogas for a week.  I figure it can't get any better than that unless it was for 2 weeks which it may be!  July 4 till the 11th and Aug 1 till the 8th.  OHBOY am I a happy camper .  Oh yea and Nancy too.
Anyone else going to be there (Ogas) those weeks?

Won't be at Ogas,but at Three Seasons(Kipawa)August 1,maybe bump into you along the road somewhere !

My son gave me a nice rubber net to replace the one I forgot on top of the canvas when we were done fishing one evening, grrrrrrrr.

sitting here trying to think if anything I got can qualify as fishing related... mmmm

-a 12 cup programmable, coffee pot that we can also take to TBL with us this year for the clan to use
-a sweet ass cooler for the doggy paddle from the wife to be shown at a later date in my build thread there, wait for it! you won't be disappointed
-new slippers to wear around the house and fishing cabin from the wifey
-a nice UA hoodie I'm gonna be rockin on this years expedition
-some whiskey stones and glasses

[Nancy]

Sounds like you were a good boy, @Dog.

As for me, I got a half a boat! 

[getthenet]

Nancy,which half of the boat did you get ?

[Nancy]

@getthenet, I guess the front half. I was going to side right half, but do not want my fishing buddy limiting me to which half I can fish out of.

 Just a gift card from the liquor store lol. Buying myself a nice jigging rod, Daddy needs more walleye with some more cards from my kids.

Got a new medium action rod and spinning reel combo and a $50.00 "coupon" to go shopping for "fishing stuff".....thinking about a new tackle box.  Any suggestions?

I have a spiderwire tackle bag and I love it, although since getting it I've outgrown it so unless you're some sort of rare fisherman that never buys more tackle, my only advice would be to get a larger one than you need so you don't outgrow it as fast as I did.

[puckster_guy]

I only fish out of my boat. I have a huge Plano tack box, as well as about 4 or 5 tackle trays. Including 1 for down rigging on Georgian Bay. BUT!!!!! I only use about 5 or 6 cranks and jigs. Ya gotta love fishing!

[SgtCrabby]

I must have been a naughty boy, because Santa didn't bring me anything fishing related.
But what I did get was a major repair overhaul job from a surgeon to make me into a new "lean, mean $60,000 bionic fishermanan".
Now if all that slice and dice could just get me to catch fish...


Oops, I just got more bills;  make that a"lean mean quarter million dollar bionic fisherman"

@NortonJoe you got me thinking about my next tackle box and I've decided to use a plastic milk crate and just put all my plano boxes in there.. reason being is it's easily expandable  by simply adding more plan boxes when I undoubtedly buy more tackle I'll never use :-) it also keeps me from having to switch crap around every time I fish out of the canoe as a milk crate is perfect for the canoe to hold tackle easily accessible within arms reach.
