Perhaps Bill was just trying to be friendly. Are you hoping to get anything for your

Not really for the boat, but I get quite a lot of cool fishing gear
most years. Last year my little girl picked out a gift for me without
any input from mom, it was a Bass Pro Shops ceramic coffee mug. I use
it every day.
I wish someone would give me a gift certificate for new brakes, wheel bearings,
master cylinder, and anything else my trailer needs!
wow....Maybe I'll wish big like you.....hell, I wish someone would give
me a give certificate for a new Nitro bass boat!!
I'm not going to put in much time between Xmas and New Years, so I may
get to the lake a couple of times to go stripper fishing. They're deep
and slow, but can catch them on live shad, blue back herring, trout, or
shiners down lined...
Try to be extra gentle with the herring. They have feelings, unlike ordinary bait
fish.

Even the blue back ones? Seriously, I don't use them very much, they
die pretty easily in my livewell, I don't have a big circular one. They
aren't native to Lanier, they got "introduced", and have populated to
the point where DNR now allows them as bait. They have made Lanier one
of the premier bass fisheries in the southeast, though....
