Fd's 7Th Anual Fishmas Exchange Thread 2024


fishing user avatarFishinDaddy 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 7.  You research that person, go buy a gift, and send it to them postmarked by Dec 14.  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 14.) 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/147749-fds-6th-annual-fishmas-exchange-loot-thread/                

 

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 December 5.

You MUST send me a PM with your Name and Address prior to December 5.

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 7 with the name and address of the person you are buying for. 

You MUST send the gift prior to Dec 14.

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.

I think its just a legal thing. Minors cam be pretty tricky. Plus, parents probably don't know what to think of some stranger sending there kid stuff.
fishing user avatarABW reply : 

I think the biggest problem with us younger kids is because not many of us have the funds to do things like this, and if parents get involved they don't want to mess with it.


fishing user avatarOK Bass Hunter reply : 

I'm in again.

This is exactly why the rules are the rules.  We had some issues in the first two years which required rule changes to correct.

fishing user avatar5fishlimit reply : 

Shipped mine out this morning, and when I came home I had my package from Felix sitting at the door! I am debating whether to tear into it now, or hold off until Christmas.

I think the over/under on that is for tomorrow.

Well then you better be prepared to open the package this evening!  I told my girlfriend to find something to do tonight because I was going to watch some of the Star Wars movies to prepare for seeing The Force Awakens on Thursday, and open the package you sent me.

LOL .... That makes it very difficult ... My Giants play tonight .... if they win I wait until Christmas.  If they lose I will open it.

fishing user avatarDypsis reply : 

Been waiting for a while now to open my package now.  It was well worth the wait.  Tons of awesome megastrike and rage plastics, sebert jigs, and some hard baits.  Really hoping those shakey heads are the new finesse ones.  Thanks and Merry Christmas @roadwarrior
