What did Santa Bring You?

All,

I got a new senko rod.  Claurus CSC70M.  This rod rounds out my quiver and anything else is pretty much just gravy.

Nice soft tip for accurate tossing of light baits, but a pretty stiff but section.  I've had my eye on this rod for months, and Santa heard me talking about it and made it happen.

What did you all get for fishing?

Leah got me a sweet sabiki rod.  I love live bait, I HATE getting caught by my own bait stick...can't wait to try it.

Bulk pack of Hayabusa Steelie hooks
Mad Dog wind proof stretch fleece top
Money for a new Camera. my daughters broke and she sorta adopted mine til after the New Year.
Money for a trip


Plus I bought my Wife(myself)
Trevala TVC70ML
Compre CPS -F80L2B    8' 4-10lb test very nice.
Don't think she will ever use them
My first Shimano rods feel good now lets see if they catch fish.

I got a cuda 168 depth finder and a cabelas gift certificate.

I was blessed this year. Actually, I'm blessed every year.

My wife gave me a Surf to Summit GTS seat with the fishing pack.
She's amazing...she picked exactly the one I wanted..(thanks Sean ).
I also got lots of other goodies from her including a gift cert for an hour massage from a local massage lady.

My son gave me a digital thermo for the bbq and a gift cert to Fishermans Whs.
My daughter and her bf gave me some goodies and another gift cert from FW.

We all had a fun Christmas and we hope you did too,
Al

So far I have collected $50 in Cabelas card, promptly blown at the KC Cabellas on lures.

My wife got me an Okuma AS-40 spinning reel which looks really nice. Still have to visit the parents in TX to collect more stuff! 

My brother got me a Pentex Optio 20w camera; My wife got me a Kokatat dry suit and pair of glacier, curved, slit finger, neoprene gloves

I wound up with some diving gear from the family gift exchange. My sister's heart was absolutely in the right place, but the mask doesn't fit (no surprise there, right?) and the fins need to be traded in for some that are more applicable to freediving. But it looks like 2007 is the year I start doing some Ab diving, maybe even try my hand at spearfishing.

My wife bought me replacements for my leaky Hodgeman waders. She went with the highly regarded Cabelas units. We are also going to do at least one trip together on the F/V Riptide out of Half Moon Bay.

Regards,
Scott

Santa came through our house bearing gifts that made this Kayaker smile.Now with Santa's help I am ready for that sleigh ride.

My wife gave me a 07 fishing license with the works in stamps.
You'll now pay $11.55 for a 2 pole and $5.80 for Bay-Delta enhancement stamp.May your future fishing trips be enjoyable and fruitful. Have a great up coming year.

My youngest stepson got me a 2007 license, deceptively wrapped in a large box.    The wife came thru with $150 in West Marine gift cards, among other things.  Add that to the $50 WM gift card (and $50 FW gift certificate) my sister & her family gave me, and I have enough for a fishfinder or handheld GPS unit...  I guess everyone paid attention to my less-than-subtle hints.   

Now I just have to decide what to get...

I paired up the rod I got with my freshly overhauled Abu4600.  Seems nice.  The rod loads up nicely with a 5" senko.

Got to take it out, but this month is really gonna be taken up with my move to Davis.

I must have bult up some gaf points because not only is my girlfriend letting me go fishing she paid for a mother ship trip on the islander in may.

Got a pack of emergency flares, a bilge pump, Seal-A-Meal, and a big rubber replacement net for my king-size net so those Coho, shakers and a few big lings can fare better during C&R.
