Fd's 5Th Annual Fishmas Xchange 2024

FishinDaddy reply :

For you crusty old timers (and you know who you are), it's that time of year again.

For you newbies who don't know what this is, here is how it works. You announce to the world in this thread that you intend to play. Then you MUST PM me your name and address. We, Taylor and I, draw names to pair or group up players. You will receive a name and address from me via PM on or around Dec 1. You research that person, go buy a gift, and send it to them postmarked by Dec 10. Patiently wait by your mailbox to receive your gift (I sent your name and address to someone else who researched you, bought you a gift, and mailed it to you before Dec 10.) You can open it when you want but you must post pictures of the loot for all of us to see.

Last Years Loot Thread http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/110073-fds-fishmas-official-loot-thread/?hl=%20xmas%20%20loot

Here are the RULES, If you don't like them, to bad.

You MUST be over 18 to play.

You MUST have over 200 meaningful posts and be reasonably active on the forum. (I decide what is meaningful and reasonable)

You MUST proclaim your intent to participate in this thread prior to Thanksgiving Day.

You MUST send me a PM with your Name and Address prior to Thanksgiving Day.

Minimum gift amount is $25. Maximum is up to you but don't expect to get more than $25.

You may or may not get the name of the person sending your gift.

You will get a return PM from me before Dec 1 with the name and address of the person you are buying for.

You MUST send the gift prior to Dec 10.

You may open the package when you get it or wait to Xmas.

I will periodically post a list of official participants on this thread. It is up to you to check back after you send your PM to make sure you are on the list.

A separate thread will be started to post pictures of the loot you received.

Let the fun begin.

Ok, here is the official participant list so far. If your name is not on this list, then you did not send me a PM as instructed or I'm having a senior moment and forgot you. Either way you better send me another PM if you want to play.

Sounds good - now if we could figure out how to hang split rings and treble hooks on the bottle, we may be onto something.

Scotch is ok but you need a good bourbon. How about some Grandpappy for fishmas? ;-)

Hi Salenity reply :

Did someone say bourbon? Knob Creek for me!

I know you may be technically challenged, but have one of your students help you post a picture before you let them go for the fishmas break.
