How did the Old Fat Bastard Treat Ya?
 

I didn't see a "Looky what I got for Christmas" thread and it seems to be mandatory on the other forumds I vist, so I'll start.

I got a new Okuma stratus stx 55 reel to replace the reel on an older saltwater spinning combo, some trout lures (I haven't fished for trout in years, but I think I'd enjoy it in the springtime again) and a basket full of misc hooks, crankbaits, Reel Magic, gloves and a few other small things.

And a grat new jacket for that early season fishing when it's rather chilly out still.

And the boat gets sent off for the final repairs this week after the debacle last summer. :D

I got a check to have the boat detailed this spring. The boats 10 yrs old now and this will only be the second time it has ever been detailed by someone else than me. It will be nice to just drop it off and pick it up all shiny and slick.

I'll slap some woody wax (fluid film) on the deck and she will be all ready for a new season of blood, guts, fish scales, and sea lice:D.
