that was fishing related (be it a trip, gear, boat, whatever), what would it be??

Mine? I've got loads of gear & boats .. the only type I don't have would be ocean going boat for AK, but Fishgal's family has one, so I'm covered there

So, I'll ask for a trip to one of a couple of locales that I've always to fish:

1) Kamchatka <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" />
2) Sowwhere warm with lots of big tarpon <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" />
3) Great White fishing off of Australia ... I guess you can't do it off the GBR anymore, but there's still gotta be a spot <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" />

I'd love to get a fishing trip booked to Alaska and catch some 50-60lb chinook. <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" />

Definitely a tarpon trip to the Florida Keys :p :p

More darn brats to harass...where are they

Happy Holidays to all!! and thanks to Bob for the great forum

Kamachatka for sure for me.

Bob,

Why go all the way to Aussie land,when you can head down to Pt. Defiance?

Just a big buck on a fly. And I would be a happy camper. Don't need all that other stuff.

I'd go for a Chevy 2500HD with the D-MAX diesel,and a 20' Boston Whaler.

1. One more chance to redeem myself on those Kasilof Kings.

3. Kamchatka with a five gallon pail full of sand shrimp and eggs.

I walk into the hole at dark xmas morning, its very cold. As it gets lighter I realize I'm not alone. As it gets light I hook a fish....while fighting the fish I notice that my company is Halle Berry wearing nothing but rolled down waders...did I mention how cold it was?

Never would I respond faster or more affirmatively to the question 'Do you need help landing that fish?'

That's fishing related....right?

Merry Christmas <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" /> indeed.

I want a Merc engine that would quite giving me problems so I wouldn't miss fishing as much! And right now I only have 165 days logged on the salt..

Downriggin'

alumaweld flatbottom sled with big jet and 4 stroke kicker

my first winter steelie...then I'd be happy indeed

I would like a
1. A 21 foot sled boat with a 350 HP jet motor.
2. New Lamiglas and loomis rods.
3. New Abu reels.
4. A new GPS
5. loads of fishing goods!

I'm with Bob and Rich G.

1) Kamchatka
2) Dean River
3) Christmas Island
4) Andros Island Bahamas

25 ft Almar Sounder with a 6 cyl turbo-diesel (Volvo) with full Furuno electronics package and a 15 hp 4 stroke Yamaha kicker, just like the 1 I'm going to be running in Ak. this summer.

Non fishing related, for my son to be healthy so he can join me in our new boat

Let's see here...

I'd have to say Kamchatka would be at the top of my list!!
Next would be chasing Rooster fish and poons down in the Keys, Belize, or Costa Rica.

Last but not least, an all expenses paid fishing trip with Jimmy Houston, just to see how many times I can accidentally bump him overboard...OOOOOOOOOOOH SON!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!! <img border="0" alt="[santa]" title="" src="graemlins/santa.gif" />

DR, the way to fix that Merc is by replacing it with a Yami - that's what you need for Xmas

The only reason I'm staying with Smokercraft is that I at least get 100% trade-in on the upgrade

I would wish for fishing and ecosystems like we had in the 30s. That and for the market to go back to year 2000 levels, that would help.
