Juan Grande Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Bought myself a guided fishing trip to Mille Lacs in late June. I wish I had it as easy as my wife does. I pick out my own father's day, birthday, etc. presents and she's off the hook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckie Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Since I received an H2OC last year, I'm hoping for a Sonocaddie golf GPS this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim43 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I`ll be on vacation in Munising,MI for the week. Taking my new boat out on Lake Superior fishing. Can`t beat that for a great fathers day. My boy can`t wait to go, neither can my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Head Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm hoping for a new reel - any recommendations? Spinning or baitcasting? What are you going to use it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottle Fish Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Just to spend a day on the water with my boys. What else is there? My Dad, myself and my son think the same way. We will all be on the water together. All I will ever ask of my son on Fathers Day is to get me on the water. He'll be 5 so that won't be hard if I tell him he can drive the boat. The only problem is he doesn't know what trolling speed is but he really laughs when Grandpa pretends his driving scares him. The funny part is, eventually it really will.

bucketmouth64 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I am hoping to be employed again. Other than that, my son and I are going to Green Lake in Spicer in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you going to use it for? I do a lot of dock fishing or fishing from the shoreline. I need something that can help me get a lot of distance whether using a lure, or live bait.

bschmitty83 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm looking forward to a great Father's Day weekend. My birthday is that Friday, my son's birthday is on Father's Day, and my Dad will be in town visiting from Montana. It'll be the first Father's Day in many years that I get to spend with him so I'm really looking forward to it. Plan on hanging out at the cabin and fishing. May add a round of golf somewhere in there too. Add some good weather, a big juicy steak, and some ice cold beverages and it'll be the perfect weekend!

Tully Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 My Father's day gift from my wife and kids is my trip up to NW Angle the 11th. Fathers Day weekend will be my two boys, my Dad and my Grandpa. Ages 5 - 93. All fishing on Big Floyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Head Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 JewellOutdoors- I don't know what type of fish you’re fishing for or your price range, but I would probably recommend a Shimano Symetre spinning reel. I think they run around $90. Good quality reel. Make sure you have a long rod to help with the distance. Good luck and happy father’s day!

Surreal Deal Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 My kids are 6months and 6 years. I have already successfully negotiated with their 'representative' for a new set of trailer tires w/ galvanized rims. With any luck I'll have those in advance and be able to take the boy out on Father's day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolanfish Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Taking my first trip to DC to see the Vietnam Wall. My father was killed in Vietnam when I was a year old. Mom got married to my stepfather when I was 10 and he has been the greatest. I do wonder sometimes what it would have been like with my real dad.
