Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is...

Jennie@ifish · 10-28-2002, 05:14 AM

Stocking stuffer ideas for Santa:

A bottle of Marie's Shrimp Scent
A new spool of lead, one with the hole in it, one solid.
Corkies, in every color, but especially lots of pink pearls.
New hooks in every size.
A couple packages of pretty yarns, put neatly in a Holdzit vest pack, all ready to go.
A sampler box of First Cast Jigs .
A new Tie Master Tool .

What else?
Can you fit a new Willie boat in your stocking?
Or a new Lami? :smile: :smile: :smile:

A new Leatherman wave tool.
A new Lamiglas Bobber rod.
A abu 6500 baitcasting reel.
A new Lamiglas salmon and steelhead fly rod.
A loomis fly reel.
Some fly line.

Many new spools of big game fishing line.
A new mag light.
A new spot light.

THE OPPURTUNITIES TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN ALL FISHERIES- GOOD LUCK FOR ALL OUR FISHIN' BUDDIES

Spoiled Daddy · 10-28-2002, 06:22 AM

Jennie,

As hard as you work, I would think a week off to some place like Hawaii or the Bahamas would be your wish!

I can guarantee you that a set of plane tickets fit nicely into a stocking!

Keep up the good work! SD

ragjr · 10-28-2002, 07:22 AM

Fishing license ((so I'm ready at the 1st of the year)kids)
new real
new pole
tackle

hawgcatcher · 10-28-2002, 07:22 AM

All I want is a good year of fishing. Not a ton of fish just enough to keep life interesting.

I will be happy if it is no more then a constant bite from a school of bluegill. The take down of a Salmon or Steelhead. The smash and grab of a Smallmouth. The gentle sip of a trout taking a fly from the surface.

Mostly I want the companionship of friends and relatives on these trips. Their safe trips and their good health.

I admit that I wish that I could win the lottery so I could buy that new sled, but I have enough tackle and things to go with it.

And most of all, I wish for a good year for all the Ifish community.

NAUTI-NOTIONS · 10-28-2002, 08:45 AM

I would like one day out of the next 365 days to be there when what ever it is, is happening. I want to be the guy who truthfully say" should have been here yesterday"
and in my stocking a little thing call TR-1 GOLD

A trip to Alaska. Missed out this year due to finances.

Herring Impaired · 10-28-2002, 09:09 AM

To be the one that says, "You should have been here ysterday!" :grin:

Hogmaster · 10-28-2002, 09:51 AM

A job for Neutron! He will get sooo grumpy if he doesn't have gas money to pull 'ol Slider around!

brshooter · 10-28-2002, 09:54 AM

A JOB!!!

I wouldn't mind if it came a bit early.

The Fishing Geek · 10-28-2002, 09:58 AM

Rain. :depressed:

fishing is life · 10-28-2002, 03:15 PM

fishing geek be careful what you ask for.

my request is for an autopilot.

CATCH AND EAT · 10-28-2002, 03:18 PM

Hey Hogmaster, I got an old net to give ya for Christmas. Only has a few broken webs. :shocked:

FEAR NO FISH! · 10-28-2002, 03:30 PM

I second the Minnkota autopilot, only with the new co pilot feature coming out in January. This is a wireless remote the size of a box of cigarettes. 65 LBS OF THRUST! Also new wireless spotlights for my boat.

Pitch Pocket · 10-28-2002, 03:30 PM

TR-1 Gold

Miss B Haven · 10-28-2002, 03:39 PM

Peace, love and happiness. Well, I guess I could expand the list since I already have two out of the 3 (Thanks Toni!). [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]
So, how about Peace, and a winning lottery ticket so I can take all my ifish friends fishing every day we want to go!

husker · 10-28-2002, 03:55 PM

a new steelhead rod since mine broke....

foxer · 10-28-2002, 04:14 PM

To catch my first winter steelhead!!

ampersat · 10-28-2002, 04:21 PM

i've decided to seriously get into jig fishing this year. no more putzing around about it. i'm gonna need a really good jig setup. nice spinning reel, good line, and a 9.5' or 10.5' rod for flipping those tiny jigs out there. the wife already has it on her list for me if i don't go out and buy it all in the next couple of weekends. nah, i'll let her get it for me. in the meantime, i can gather more jig tying materials.

i'd be happy with just a few of those "shoulda been here yesterday" trips. catch a limit? what would that be like?

PapaHog · 10-28-2002, 05:32 PM

I am wanting to learn jig fishing under a bobber or dink. I want to learn to tie jigs.

Under the tree? Any thing related to jig fishing for steelhead.

Jennie@ifish · 10-28-2002, 06:08 PM

All I want for Christmas....

is

Peace on Earth!

Dream huge, guys!

Night night, I'm calling it a day!
:smile:

WaterDog · 10-28-2002, 06:27 PM

Skein,
I'm with you! :grin: An invite to tuna town. [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

Kaptn Ken · 10-28-2002, 06:46 PM

All I want is a little "Steady" rain every day but Saturday & Sunday!!! And Wednesdays too! Yeah, that's it, steady rain...I mean, have you looked at Mt. Hood lately??? No matter the water's shallow in the Sandy & Clack!

Jerry Dove · 10-28-2002, 06:49 PM

I want an early christmans present, a 62lb crome CH, from the Trask. then for Christmas I want to know that all our fish hatcheries will stay open, and we have a Gov. that will work with us. Happy New Year.

fishisabonus · 10-28-2002, 08:01 PM

My daughter healthy and staying that way!

RipDatLip · 10-28-2002, 08:16 PM

Peace of mind...

Salmonator · 10-28-2002, 08:23 PM

One of those outboard dollies to save my back when I carry the 15 horse from the boat to the garage

crabbait · 10-28-2002, 09:41 PM

I just wish that my unemployed friends find a better job than the one that fell out from under them (Boeing, Lucient, CF, etc), and that the recovering folks keep recovering.

That I have the opportunity to share the blessings that have fallen in my lap and that everyone gets to catch at least half as many fish as I do!

willametteriveroutlaw · 10-28-2002, 09:49 PM

I guess I am shallow,
A male visla pup
Drift boat
new shotgun
and a Pile of dead geese (post mortium reveals that they died at the hand or WRO)

excuse me · 10-28-2002, 10:03 PM

Jennie asks "Can you fit a new Willie boat in your stocking?" That sounds so familiar, but I can't remember where I heard that question. It wood take a big sock to cover the model Willie boat I would like to have. But there are more important priorities for this Christmas!

My Christmas wish list, in order of preferrence

First, I want peace for all the world [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Second, I want all the children of the world to never have to go hungry

Third, I want all countries of the world to become one big happy country

Fourth, I want all our rivers to run clean and full of fish

Fifth, I want to have most of those rivers to myself, and everybody else to have to pay me to fish in them :smile:

Sixth, I want 4 million pounds of the finest fresh salmon egg skeins

Seventh, I want the top 25 northwest guides to cure all those eggs up with their best personal cures.

Eighth, I want 157 freezers to keep all those eggs in

Nineth, I want to own the GLoomis and Lamaglass fishing rod factories

Tenth, I want to own the Willie Boat factory and it's current inventory of finished fishing boats

In closing this list Santa, I know you think this is asking for a lot and a bit selfish for reqests 5 thru 10. But I have been a very good boy and I did think of peace for all the world first.

1pump · 10-28-2002, 11:06 PM

What I want for Xmas-

I want Congress to pass a law that nobody can even mention Christmas in public until at least Dec. 10th!! BAH HUMBUG!! (sorry- A little tired of the retailers whining already. Xmas is not about commercialism [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img] )
Seriously though, I'm with crabbait; Jobs for all. Fishing, hunting, bowling, whatever...it's all pretty insignificant when the unemployment bennies are gone, the car's out of gas and you don't know where your next meal is coming from. Been there, done that. Hang in there!

Uncle Bob · 10-28-2002, 11:42 PM

Santa, I've been good this year.

All I want is a good job.

UB

dogfishboy · 10-29-2002, 12:13 PM

CASH!!!!!
Then I could buy ****** a haircut :grin: Hogmaster a new net :smile: , and fund Jerry's hatcheries for a decade.

Seriously, I often think about how fun it would be to come into a LOT of cash and be able to buy things for folks. Pay off friends houses or just walk up to a bank fisherman and hand him the keys to a boat. I think this would bring such great joy to me.

Maybe some day :smile:

Oh yeah, and everything the wife ever wanted.

10-29-2002, 12:49 PM

A cure for MS and Diabetes would sure work.

I want Luke Borchardt to be free from Leukemia. He is my fishing friend's son fighting the disease for over 2 years now.

SKP

Tanner · 10-29-2002, 02:51 PM

A promise from mother nature that we will have enough rain next October to keep the coastal rivers at prime fishable levels.

Flying Roast Beef · 10-29-2002, 02:53 PM

I want what SKP wants!! Kids are awesome!!

Dan Christopher · 10-29-2002, 08:22 PM

Salmonator · 10-29-2002, 08:59 PM
