Well let's hear from you folks. What interesting item did you get for the boat to make it complete. I will go first as I did not get anything. I have been sick the last week and not been in the mood. Plus my tracker boat want start. Not getting any fire at the plugs so that means the stator probably died. If I feel better tomorrow I am planning on checking to see if I can fix it or does it have to go to the shop. It all depends if my flywheel puller will fit or not. Merry Christmas. Don
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! :popcorn

Remus what you doing on the mode. Got the crud. I am finally getting better. Going to check boat Monday and if I can get the stator off I will have to take it to Orangeburg to have it checked and hope they have a new on if not I will just haul it down there and let them fix it. John let me know when you want to get together and we will meet. Don
Not nothing much new here for fishing. I did just get in the mail another face plate for my I-pilot remote. Second time now that Ive worn holes thru the rubber pad on the front of the remote. Hopefully it's ready whenever I get ready now.:)
did you order a new face plate from minn kota ? my left and right buttons on my remote are worn out never thought about checking to get a replacement. any info on how to get a new one will be nice thanks.Quote:

I wrote MinnKota supplying the serial number and the model (also including year model) of my trolling motor to get the minnkota part number of the face plate on the I-pilot remote. I then ordered from fish307.com.
My son, Brock, got me some hooks, tube baits, and crappie nibbles.
A new wallet to buy fishing stuff, Socks to keep warm if I go winter fishing and toothbrush to keep wife near me.

I got a $50 gift card for Bass Pro Shops. I'll probably order some crappie fishing tackle on line. Also got some green stuff. It always fits to a T.
Thanks fellow CDC friends for responding I am glad everybody got some fishing stuff. I hope that everyone has a blessed and happy NEW YEAR. Hope to see all of you on the water or at our get togethers. Don
Hey, Don hope your feeling better. By the way I went striper fishing yesterday not too far from your place and did pretty good. They were biting real good.
