Alright............what did Santa bring everyone????

[MUSKY18]

Got pretty much everything I wanted outside of the fishing realm, but did get a couple new lures from my kids, and will pick up whatever else is needed at the show!

[DHanson]

I got a cowgirl and a dunwright lifelike series as far as fishing lures go. Cant wait to try them out.

[TrophyEyes]

2- DCG

1- Showgirl

1- Jake

1- Super Humper

1- Mini Super Humper

1- Jointed X-Rap

1- Bionic Buctail

1- LOWrider

[JRedig]

Couple muskie books and a reel. Not over yet though!

[Rmac]

What kind of reel did you get? I keep hearing Okuma for a price point reel. Might have to try one of those next year.

I didn't get anything exciting except for some bucktail making tools and materials. Tied my first one already. - Cant wait to throw them now. Gotta find some open water somewhere. Who's got an indoor pool?

[Grant Pearson]

I got a gift card to Gander mountain. here comes a few more lures!

excel power plant at the croix on 95 is normaly open.

as far as fishing gifts go. just 4 gift cards, 2 gander's,1 cabelas, and 1 sportsmans warehouse ...good thing gas is cheap!

[HuntBigFish]

I got 6 custom gerry girls, 2 custom gerry #9's, and 1 custom gerry girl spinnerbait. Half of them have pink in them, so hopefully that will still be a good color. Definately can't wait to throw them!

I thought of the river, but would that be breaking the rules since there are actually muskies in there? I'm sure a couple casts wouldn't hurt anything but with my luck I'd probably get a ticket or something.

[JRedig]

What if there are no hooks on your lures? Otherwise you could hit up the miss at pool 2 (i think) where it's open year round for sport fish, just catch and release only.

Not all sport fish as far as I know. Pike and Muskie seasons do close. That rule I think only applies to bass walleye and sauger.

muskies are open till march on MN/WS border waters ... and there is no law against testing lures. only intentionally fishing for a species outside the open season on them.

[Scoot]

If I put a couple treble hooks on the lump of coal I got, do you think it'll catch muskies???

maybe, being coal it's probly black ... that's a start.

or send it to me and i'll chip, sand, saw and grind it into something that any fish will laugh at... er ... bite

[mattrd]

I got the Lakewood Tackle Box I was hoping for, and a couple of new lures! Now it's time to start re-organizing the tackle box and see what lures I "must" have

[Croix]

T-Bros gift Certificate!

Hey, if anyone can turn a lump of muskie coal into a diamond, it's you!!!

[HugoBox]

I'm a dad so I was Santa and didn't get a darn thing. That said, I stumbled across a 20% off sale on Musky gear at a place on the way to my bro's cabin. Anyone ever use a Water Moccasin? It was just too pretty to pass up!!

Yep, great WTD bait that has really good quality componants and has a nice action in the water. Made by Musky Safari. No hook ups for me but I havn't thrown it much at all. I know a guy that swears by his. It doesn't seem like a typical search WTD (because of the size) but i'm sure it's good when you have fish located. You'll like it

[Rebel9921]

Santa didnt think I needed any more after my splurge in 2008... but few relatives disagreed with that...

I got a Lil Eagletail and Mepps Comet 5 Shad bucktail from an uncle and a giftcard from my parents for D!ck's Sports which I redeemed for a Bullfrog Topraider...

No confidence in the Mepps Comet 5 so will exchange it for something I will definitely use and have confidence in...

Like every year i recieved two different thorne bros gift cert. can't go wrong with those thats for sure.

I thought gift giving was over but yesterday i was surprised with a custom spinning rod from rods by engel! It is the sweetest looking rod with my name on it aswell. I can't decide if i should use it or frame it!

Just a great gesture from one veteran to another! I was wounded in 2005 and i'm still amazed by the sincere gratitude that was/is shown to all of us!

Thank you!

Scott did you have your hand in this?

Rod Engel rods have served me well and you'll enjoy his craftsmanship. I've purchased close to a dozen custom rods from Mr. Engel. It's like Christmas when I receive one and open it for the first time. Quality workmanship from a great guy.
