Christmas is Here!

So it's that time of the year again. What are you guys hoping to find under the tree Christmas morning? I'm also wondering what is the one bait you are most excited about throwing next year?

For me I am hoping to get a new housing for my GoPro camera so I can make some good videos this coming year. Mine got scratched this last year riding around carelessly in the boat.

The one bait I am most excited about throwing this next year is the Huddleston 68 Special. I just started throwing swimbaits this year, but I am going to be throwing them next year to try and catch a 10+lb Bass. I also feel like this bait can help me put some good bags of fish together in a couple tournaments as well.

I'm also very excited to fish the hudd this upcoming year.

You should upgrade your downriggers, before you start wasting money on swimbaits...

You haven't seen my downriggers in action!

A new engine!

Good suggestion Chad. Swimbaits are expensive, and all you do is catch and release with them. Would much rather catch some chrome.

I'm going to sell half my baits and give the ones that don't sell away and fish like five things all year... I think I'll do better without having 10 rods on the deck for once. Me saying that and actually doing it will be the biggest issue!

There is an interview with G-Man Gerald Swindle in BAM on just this topic - what junk fishing really is - it doesn't mean throwin' everything in the kitchen sink. How many of you have tried concentrating only a bait or two for a trip?

I am hoping for a couple of new Lamiglas Infinity rods. A new engine for the boat would work too though!

I want a race track, 20 miatas and a keg full of vodka. You are all invited.

I've tried so many times! It's so hard for me to do.

I'm not asking too much this year, just a plethora of Havoc Baits for me and maybe a couple more taggy style jigs. Can't wait to give the sick fish a run http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Berkley_Havoc_Skeets_4_Sick_Fish_Swi....
