Maybe new rods/reels? Some tackle that you could stock up on? Perhaps something to upgrade or keep on your boat, or even just a fishing tool/accessory?
Autochart Zero Lines card.
I already got mine. A Dobyns Champion 734c.
A musky lure and a cup holder that fits in existing rod holder mounts for the front of the boat. Just bought myself a reel and I'll save small purchases for excuses to shop for myself.
Took a few years, but family knows not to try to buy me fishing stuff...except for maybe a few very specific items, such as HUK shirts or Columbia fishing pants.....anything else and we're both likely to be disappointed...me when I open it...them when they see through my fake thankful smile

My bro-in-law was feeling me out about fishing tackle once. There was an infomercial on TV about a telescoping fishing combo. I made sure to tell him it was junk. I got a pocket knife that I didn't need.
Abu Garcia “Revo Winch”, a few 5/8 oz. Bagley Balsas and a couple of Mepps Muskie in-line spinners.
Christmas came a little early this year for me ~
So I'm good.
Beyond that a little "Open Water" would be nice

Some more sassy shads, and a pack or two of round bend hooks are the only items I can think of right off the top of my head.
Gift cards are always welcome.
@A-Jay Santa must've traded in his sleigh for that rig. Congrats

As the owner of a '09 G8 GT 6.0, '15Camaro SS 6.2, and '15Chevy SS Sedan LS3, all with serious mods, this pic hurt so good..... Tough choice to make...
Beautiful car. I can tell she was your baby.
Here's the two SS's...
OP, sorry to derail...well, maybe not really..

Some serious rides and You are correct Sir.
Bought her new in 06.
Sold her 10 years later in pristine condition, with 18K & change on her.
Loved her when I had her and loved what she eventually did for me.
I do miss her though - Sure was a blast to drive.

Fishing and lures!
A new boat battery! Yee haw...........
Maybe a Daiwa BG 2500 spinning reel and a Cabelas Fish Eagle spinning rod. I have so much stuff I really don't need anything.
What are you putting on your fishing Christmas list?
Uhhh! Go fishing ????
My son ask me what I'd like for Christmas. I really don't need anything, but since he asked- a pack of Rage Craws, and some 6" roboworms.
I’m asking for spring, but like every year, I’m sure I’ll have to wait about 4 months for it ☹️.
I really need a new outboard. Mines spent long hours river running and stump jumping, and I'm tired of mixing oil

The last time we had a work gift exchange, I said, "fishing stuff". I got bait hooks, a nylon stringer, and assorted red and white plastic bobbers. I've learned not to ask.
p.s., The bobbers (smaller ones, at least) do make good decoration for window blind cords.
I'm a full time single dad of a 13 year old and I've instructed him to save his money instead of spending it on me, so I'm buying my own gifts this year. Last week I ordered a couple of swimbaits from Bass Pro but the S-Waver 168S is going to be too heavy for my MH rods. So on Friday I'm heading over to Bass Pro to pick up a cheap BP heavy rod and throw one of my old reels on it. It's been a tough year so maybe next year I'll splurge on a proper reel to go with the heavy rod.
The good news is that temperatures will be back up to 70 this weekend and the rain will stop by Sunday so I should get in some fishing.
Oluma TCS rod.
Only thing I ever say is to get a gift card for tackle warehouse bc my family has no idea what to get fishing related ????
Huk Sun Gloves but they are always out of stock; as far as non tangible stuff; I'd be grateful to receive some Peace and Sanity.
Dear Santa. I want a stick.
Orvis waders and the Shimano NASCI 2500. Getting hyped for creek smallies!
I asked my wife for this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07657LKNZ/

Said Ohtahdeetahdoo. LOL
Pretty much what I ask for every year, a fishing license, which is always greatly appreciated....
Since I spent over $1K on a kayak about a month ago, I just went onto Amazon Prime and put a few things it the cart and told the wife to put them under the tree or in my stocking.
I've got everything I want as far as equipment...
I just need some more "signed permission slips" from the wife for me to go!
did a big tackle update this last year. Don't really need anything else.
All I want is open water and decent weather for christmas
I always ask for gift cards, BPS, Academy, local mom and pop shop. Years ago, I asked my wife for a specific rod, and a reel from my in-laws. Afterwards, they all said "Next year we'll just get you gift cards." Asked for gift cards ever since.
I asked wifey for a conquest 301A and a total overhaul on the boat.......what I’ll probably get is her understanding, support and best wishes in the fact that I’ll be spending 95% of my free time on the water.
Take it when you can get it!!!
A trip to Florida (in February) to fish. I will be climbing the walls by then with cabin fever here in the frozen North.
Another rod I don't need????

That's it !!
Only fishing related thing I asked for was some Plano Hydro-flo boxes. I learned a long time ago about asking for specific fishing related items. My wife's family doesn't give gift cards though because it's a lazy gift. I always thought it was the best gift because then I can go get exactly what I want!
Santa is setting me up for deep crankin. A kvd crankbait rod 7ft 10 model as well as the new Diawa Tatula 200 for that line capacity.
I caught some shoal bass and spotted bass this weekend and hope to catch more bass before the year ends.

February is a good month for big bass. You should have a good time and I suggest you do some research for a couple months before coming here to be more successful. No need to hire guide since South Florida is loaded with places you can catch bass from land.
My family knows not to buy me fishing gear/tackle. It's too specialized. Much better to get me giftcards to tackle shops.
my gear wish list is: Dobyns champion 807, matts hammer shad, Matts meathead, Matts strong shad, and more Real Prey swimbaits.
I can tell you what I'm not getting for Christmas: Dobyns Champion 807, matts hammer shad, Matts meathead, Matts strong shad and more Real Prey swimbaits
I know. I want a winter warm up over my Christmas vacation. A few days in the '50s or '60s would be just fine.
Santa came early for me with the new to me G3. There's something else in the works that is going to be almost perfect, I'm not counting my chickens just yet but they're getting real close to hatching.
As far as the family goes, TW gift cards and an Autochart Zero line card that will come in very handy if all the chickens hatch. ????
Nothing. I have everything i need, except for a new PB that I’ll have to get next spring on my own.
Trailer for my canoe - I'm getting too old to lift that baby in and out of the back of my truck.

Shimano Stella with a Conquest 842s
That is what I plan on buying myself after Christmas...

Actually, she is awesome about letting me go during "peak" times... I've got 7 four+ day trips planned between now and May.
One way Greyhound bus ticket to Florida and I'll gladly donate all of my thermal underwear and parkas to the local Goodwill. Thanks in advance Santa.

Gift cards. Because if you buy me that I'll tell you it's too expensive or if you buy me this I'll tell you it won't catch fish.

I've already sent 'requests' for TW gift cards to those who normally send me Amazon gift cards.

They need to purchase them now as TW has gift cards discounted this week.

According to the site, they have the 10% discount all the way through Jan 7
