Thread: Fishing stuff for Christmas

I got 4 14' rods. One of which the last eye is messed up. I'll call tomorrow about it

Don I'm in the same boat as you as I didn't get anything for fishing or for the boat BUT I did get some of that green stuff(money!!) I'm going tomorrow to pickup some planer boards, striper rods, tackle, and some new line!! Oh yea I may buy pump to pump out my 20gal bait tank. I'm getting tired of bailing it out. lol!

Well I still need to fix my boat.
But wife set me up with a charter while we're down here..

I went to the garage and was cleaning out stuff because I needed a break from our foster kids and found an antique plug knocker that my grandfather had in his fishing stuff. I got all his fishing stuff when he passed away a couple of years ago. He was my hero (paratrooper spent winter in Bastonge) and taught me how to crappie fish brush piles. I have countless memories with him. This was a solid brass/copper knocker. It was like it was meant to be.

Plug knocker?

Don I hate to hear you have been sick and I hope you begin to feel better. I didn't get any gear or tackle in hand but did get gift cards They never know what I already have so they don't even try anymore to buy me anything for fishing.

Brett, a plug knocker is used to slide down your line to "knock" crankbaits/plugs loose for a snag.

I got a couple sets of horizontal rod holder for the boat so I don't have rod laying on the floor, a new winch for the trailer, a water separator and some gift cards. A great haul.
Rod holders installed. I'm ready for the water to clear up and head out

Got zero fishing stuff but I did have a house full of rip roaring kids, plenty of rib eyes on the grill and lots of love to share. I got a rain suit which I needed for work that's all I ask for and the family to be happy and healthy. Don, I hope you get well soon and the boat ready to float. I hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Oh! the wife got a Kimber 380 She's happy too!
