i'd look into charters in your area.. 200-500 bucks usually gets you a day w/ a chartered guide that knows what hes doing. You learn alot get to spend the day on a nice boat and you always catch fish (well almost always). In canada i would look into pike charters maybe steelhead or salmon not sure where your located. I would make it something he usually dosent catch it makes it more fun for some reason..

nothing beats bass off topwater...

it's as close as I've ever been to heaven, hooking a nice striper or small mouth and watching em jump 3-4 feet in the air. my personal favorite lure is called the torpedo. they have different sizes and colors and are also pretty cheap, between 3 and 5 dollars each.

If it was me, It would just make me happy to see that you took some interest in it. why don't you look up fishing packages and vacation spots instead of buying him a couple good presents you and him could vacation somewhere this winter and go fishing together. I know personally my favorite thing about fishing is smoking a bowl with my wife and watching her get crazy after catching a fish.

Sanibel Island in florida, for example. probably wouldn't be too expensive. and Great offshore fishing in the gulf of mexico.

we caught our limit of 30 pound striper deep rigging on lake cumberland in kentucky a few months ago.. Hard as hell reeling them in while the boats moving your arm feels like its gonna fall off by the time you get them in the boat

get him a nice gift card to an outdoor shop (bass pro, cabelas. ect) so he can choose. then ask him to take you fishing just the two of ya, that should make him reel happy. I know i loved takin my girl fishin with me.

dont get one of those line spoolers there just a wast of money (put a pencil through the hole in the line package and hold it with resistance while he reels the line on)

i put an old stick in my cordless drill. then tie the end of the line you want to strip onto the stick. hit the trigger. strips my old line in about 45 seconds. when done just unchuck the stick.

To answer your question about fishing sunglasses Lacey, yes they are different. They are more polarized thank regular sunglasses, wich means they reflect more sunlight than regular sunglasses. While fishing, the sun beams down on the water and the reflection is more intense than regular sunlight. When i wear mine i can see clear into the water and i can usually see fish moving around. Its basicly like looking into water without sunlight reflecting back at you. Dont know what i would do without my sunglasses!

Its not just guys that like to fish.

If he got himself his rod then maybe get an awesome reel. Look and see what kind of reels are in his arsonal of weapons. Spinning, bait casting, ect.

Does he like to freshwater or salt water fish? Thats kind of important.

I use Abu Garcia bait casting reels. The 5500 holds the worlds record for casting over the Astro Dome. These reels are beyond sweet.

You can also have his name put onto the rod with gold which adds a nice touch. =)

If he likes to freshwater fish, get him a pair of cool waders so he doesn't get cold and wet. Those are always appreciated.

Happy Holidays!!

I just foun

d out what I bought my hubby for Christmas!!!:?
A fishing ROD!!!:-|
Ok I understand this is a personal item so its probably best that he bought it himself so I thought I would get him a tackle box. He got a bonus from work and is getting one. :roll:

Ok so now that he has taken all the :o:clap::-P excitement of 'giving' away :wall: what do I get him now???:confused:I KNOW he is really into fishing because:

1/he was gone every weekend last summer and fall with his buddy on the boat
2/ he plays fishing games on his Xbox
3/ has about 20 fishing videos he borrowed from someone
4/ (my favourite:roll:) fishing shows 'every' weekend
5/ his old tackle box is full and he recently bought a 'fishing lure kit'....its really funny.....:lol::lol::lol:.. All kinds of eyes :shock::shock: and hooks and stuff!!!:-|

I've researched online BUT its difficult to find honest info because so much of it is sponsored. Hubby said the best advice about fishing is to ask other guys. :roll::confused: I don't have a lot of male friends sooooooo

Ok other guys!!! Any suggestions?

The topic is fishing guys. Fishing!!!!!

Hey Lacy,
I didn't read the whole thread so I dont know if his birthday is past or not but heres my advice:
If your intent on a fish finder then try "Furuno" (i think thats how its spelled) they make all sorts of radar and gadgets for commercial and sports fisherman.

take a look at his books and see if he's got any fly tying books, if so maybe a fly tying kit; comes with a clamp that probably mounts to a table, but I've seen portabe ones for taking on the road, and a spooler, and maybe some thread and feathers and stuff. There really cool if your into that kind of stuff. A good fly tying book if he doesnt have one would maybe help (helped me anyway :)).

Another thing that he might like, but probably already has, is a good set of hip waiders. They are basically like the bottom part of a scuba suit. Lets him go out farther and stuff.

Hope these help :joint:
