Trying to get everyone in my crew to tell me what they want for Christmas... I have been sitting down thinking hard what I "need" for next season. (to be honest, I need nothing, but in the spirit of holiday giving I feel I should at least participate :) )

A satellite phone for the boat is on my wish list right now.

What is on your wish list?...

10 ft, one piece CTS for plugging the canal. Need to find me a Santa Claus though.

same stuff I ask for every year for fishing, split rings, vmc hooks, ta clips, leader material, a few plugs to beef up the aresnal like some ss darters and northbars, new pair of AS gloves.

Only big thing I'm asking for is a power wrapper for rod building, which is still less money than the UGG boots my wifey wants :smash:

I usually buy myself whatever I need as the season goes on, or wait til after xmas and slowly pick away at the list.

at the end of the season i make a list of what i need/want and chip away on it, along with do to list for fishing, keeps me occupied thru the boring winter.

hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

Someone gave my daughter a pair of those 140 dollars for the youth ones.

My wife is getting a pair this year. Such an easy gift to get and then I will be almost done.

since I am now a redneck, i need more freshwater gear, shimano baitcasting reels, rods, rubber works, jigs, spinner baits. I also want one of those gaudy nascar-esque fishing shirts with a bunch of sponsors names on it so I can look like a pro when I fish

A 2-tube & 4-tube surf bag.

I saw the new surf bag (gear up surf casting) company at the last show that the fisherman magazine held at the Marriot. The bags were nice, they have a lot of drainage holes on the bottom, plus the guy seem really cool.

All im really looking for is an 8'ish nice schoolie/albie rod. Its been easy to fall in love with the Century rod line so likely something from them, and an 11'er too.

Oh yeah, waders, boots more wearbars. Thats all for now.

NOTHING!!!! I buy my OWN fishing stuff. My better half buys me stuff every year and puts it in my stocking. Even though I tell her not to. It's usually whacked out chit. But she tells me she asked the guy at #^&#^&#^&#^&'s if it was good stuff. It's very hard to play excited waking up that early for crappy fishing doohickys and freshwater chit, but I do my best:rotf2: She means well and that's one of the reasons that I love her:love:

Dildo! I sold Jake's brother David a US model 4500 in mint never used/brand new condition for peanuts a month ago. You know how I do at the end of the year! I give half of my tackle away for free (which is still part of your arsenal) and sell chit I don't need for a reach around. I wish you had this reel!!!!!!! I wish you would have told me you were looking for 1.

So we are out at dinner and my wife announces she is not buying anybody anything they do not tell her or email her. I immediately respond....."a 23 foot Regulator". Judging by her reaction, I will not be getting said "23 foot Regulator". My alternate list will take a little more careful consideration I suppose. Maybe a 19 foot Regulator .... maybe .... maybe not

nice boat. go for it Bob:)
A very nice gentleman that takes pity on me occasionally and takes me fishing along the islands has one and it is sweeeeet. Numby has one also, a 21, and that thing rides fantastic too. The performance of those 2 boats makes my boat seem like a square box. Buy one of each Bob. :rotf2:
