Not exactly just for Arima's but I'm curious about what everyone has on their Christmas list this year for their boat/trailer and related?  I'm also trying to figure that out for myself.  My brother does a $50 limit for presents and am thinking of maybe asking for a West Marine gift card as I can't really think of anything B.O.A.T (Acronym) related that is in the $50 ranger other than safety things like flares/life jackets, of which I already have.  Any ideas are appreciated.  Thanks and Merry Christmas to all!

yea I don't think you could go wrong with the fishing accessories - jigs, hooks, flashers and so on. A gift card at a good sporting goods store would be great.

I also received my gift early - Bradley Smoker. I'd been meaning to buy one so I finally picked one up and let the bride know Santa made me do it...

Fishin Machine

My wish list for Christmas, is a new fish finder. Santa know if she doesn't get it for me I will purchase one anyway. So now I'm just waiting till the 25th.

Arima upgrades for the year 2018
1. Fresh water pump upgrade.
2. Connect TR-1 to new GPS on fish finder.
3. Radar
4. Service trailer, bearings and brakes.
5. New seat for drivers side.

Already got one... upgraded tow hitch for Clifford the Big Red Truck (from the dinky 7500# rated factory job to a heavy duty 16,000# rated Curtis... my tin can weight was too close for comfort on the factory hitch).

Kenwood touchscreen stereo/bluetooth/media player upgrade for the tow rig, + a integrated backup camera.  My wireless camera is on it's last legs, works about 10% of the time!

Some lightweight Grundens bibs, for summer Tuna! fishing.

Daiwa Lexa 400 casting/jigging reels (for my wife!  Her hands are too small to easily operate my Tuna! spinning reels).

Some of those fancy new Danielson crab traps, with the top opening for baiting and removing crabs.

Chirp Plotter and radar for the SL 22,  but they are on hold until I sell the SR 19.......  so time to get going on a few cleanup items. 

Bandaid and I did a BOGO upgrade to I Phone 8s for our Christmas and will be adding a GPS map app for boating and hunting.  Always good to have a backup

I got the girlfriend a 7' spinning set up, as she does not find my old school conventional reels easy to operate.  I am also making darn sure that she knows it is not detracting from what she is getting for Christmas otherwise.  I have no idea how I am going to fit it in her stocking! Hoping she gets me a new steering wheel and boots!

Sit on Santa's lap and tell him all about that 19 Sea chaser you've been wanting. Who knows, it's worth a try :jester: :shrug9:

If by silver bullets you mean Coors light I'd like to suggest an upgrade of at least Corona.
