This time of year every year I find myself struggling like many others trying to come up with a gift for the fisherman that appears to have everything. For those of you that have been reading the newsletter year in year out you all know that every year I attempt to provide a list of gift ideas that may help everyone find something for the hard to buy for angler. To stay consistent I have yet again attempted to come up with some unique gift ideas or at least some ideas of items that need to be replaced or updated regularly. Here is a short list for 2012, hopefully it will help you find that perfect gift or at least give you an idea of an item or two to add to your own list!
