Fd's Fishmas Exchange - Final List 2024

FishinDaddy reply :

For the last several years I have organized the Xmas exchange and it's that time of year again. We are going to start earlier this year to allow more people to see it and and extra week to ship your gifts.

Here is how it works. There are some new rules this year because of previous problems. If you don't like the rules, tough. I do the work = my rules, period.

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.

wisconsin heat reply :

bkohlman reply :

Sounds like a blast.....hope I can participate next year....

Bluebasser86 reply :

This is always a good time, I'm in!

DavePNW reply :

I'll be in next year for sure! Great idea for the community

bkohlman reply :

I hope I will have enough posts to enter this years exchange!

NEjitterbugger reply :

Love the idea!

NorcalBassin reply :

Count me in!

retiredbosn reply :

PM sent, sounds fun

Bassn Blvd reply :

I'm in, again.

PS. I need a new Loomis flippin' stick and another Premier.

slonezp reply :

That "200 meaningful" posts requirement is a stickler for me.

This is different than the lure exchange correct? That was a bit of a disappointment.

FishinDaddy reply :

I have run this for the past few years and we have had a few dead beats join the game but 99.9% of this has gone perfect. Other members made up for the losers and sent out additional gifts. The problems came from members under 18 and/or and less than 200 meaningful post.

I think everyone that has participated in this would say it was fun. At least I have not heard any complaints that we not immediately corrected.

deaknh03 reply :

I have done it the last two years and it's been well executed and fun.

Clint C. reply :

I'm in, this sounds like it'll be a blast =0)

00 mod reply :

Alright....Sign me up!

Redlinerobert reply :

Count me in too.

Sfritr reply :

Last year was extremely fun and funny to see reactions. Helpful hints:

When you get your person, read through his/her posts on the profile to get an idea of their needs etc.

Make sure you post a picture of your gifts and or reaction once you open the present. That was a cool aspect last year IMO.

Happy Holidays

Thank you. Also, I will go out on a limb here and if someone does order jigs from me and wants them shipped to someone else let me know. I will drop ship them so you dont have to reship them.

If its not too late I'm in.

FishinDaddy reply :

Siebert - send me a PM with your Name and Address.

Names being drawn on Thursday

Bluebasser86 reply :

If you haven't drawn yet I was wanting in. I sent a PM with my name and address a week or so ago. If it's too late not a big deal I'll catch it next year.

chromedog reply :

Excited to see who I get!

FishinDaddy reply :

OK, the name have been drawn at random. You will not get the name of the person sending you a gift. We are all daisy chained together instead of 16 pairs. I though it would be more interesting that way and since I do this to entertain myself, that's how it is.

You will receive a name and address today. If you don't and think you should then it means I don't like you and decided you can't play, ok not really. If you are on the following list and don't receive a PM from me by tomorrow at lunch let me know.

A new thread will be opened by me shortly to show your loot. Half of the fun is seeing what everyone else got. Please post pictures of your gift on the new thread.

FishinDaddy reply :

Just to clarify. There are no pairs this year. You will NOT be getting a gift from the person you are sending a gift to. You will be getting your gift from someone else. This way you are connected to two people for this exchange.

SDoolittle reply :

I just finished my shopping. I wish all my Christmas shopping was this easy! Why can't everyone on my Christmas list be anglers?

chromedog reply :

UH OH, can't wait to get home, kids called, said I got a package!

Clint C. reply :

I'm sending my gift out tomorrow.. Probably going to send it 2nd day air because I'm excited for the person to get it haha.

Fishing Cowgirl reply :

The shipment will go out Saturday.. I just finished a personal touch on one and stopping by Bass Pro for the rest. It'll be shipped in two packages. This is so much fun... I love shopping..especially for Fishermen!

FishinDaddy reply :

Why do I love this forum? Because of the amazing members. I have had several member jump in at the last minute and only wanted to GIVE.

So there are some of you that are extremely lucky and will receive an extra gift.

You were chosen nearly at random by a system involving a complex calculus formula, a bucket, and a horse named Percy . They did not want to get anything in return except for the satisfaction of giving.

You're Welcome

Bluebasser86 reply :

Got mine shipped out today. I feel like I did really well this year and someone is going to get some good baits to catch lots of fish on next year

Siebert Outdoors reply :

Mine is going out in 30 min.

ClackerBuzz reply :
