Fishing Xmas Tree

[Jimbo]

Rick, how about doing some winter beach combing and stringing the skate and horshshoe crab egg cases, old cork, rope, pieces of fishnet, beach whistles, etc., you could use old mono to string it on to make a garland. For the topper, maybe be creative and get a piece or tin or aluminum, cut out the shape of a [bass] fish, bang some holes in it with a phillips head and affix it on your usual light-up star. The holes will let the light through and the shininess of the metal makes for a starlike presentation.
