Gift ideas for my husband

My husbands birthday is coming up and I’m trying to figure out what to get him. He likes to go salt water fishing, we are on the east coast.

Last year I got him a pair of the Costa sunglasses, he really liked that gift. And for Xmas I got him a jacket. This year I really cant figure out what to get him.

I don’t really have a set budget yet, will probably cap around $500/$600 .

Mosquito Lagoon Snook

Happy to see quite a few healthy snook in the lagoon after the cold snaps this year.

Many years ago I used to dream about a snook fishery in the lagoon, used to think it was prime habitat. So pleased that now they have become quite a common catch.

Anyone know of an aerator that runs on removable 18650 batteries?

Was looking into getting a rechargeable aerator but figured I’d look into finding one that runs on 18650 batteries since I have a few extras that I have for flashlights. Google only brings up rechargeable versions or ones that have an 18650 soldered on.

Texas trout bite gone since freeze

I fish between matagorda and port lavaca, it seems ever since that freeze a couple of years ago the speck bite has completely died. I am having some luck with reds but not near as much as I used to, and it’s been over a year since I caught a keeper trout. Is anyone else having this experience, or is this just a skill issue?

DIY access in Turks & Caicos?

Has anybody done any DIY flats fishing on Parrot Cay, Turks & Caicos? Going to be down there for a week over Thanksgiving this year. Arranged a guide for two days but wondering what the DIY options are as well. Water looks great on Google Maps and the other islands all sound to have good DIY options but hard to be certain on Parrot Cay specifically. Appreciate any intel!

My spot lock ultrex keeps running after I take my foot off the button. I have to press it again to get it to stop running. Any idea on what is the issue?

Opinion on Zylon leader for GT?

Going on my first dedicated GT trip in a couple of days. Over here in Asia these short leaders are very popular. Just wondering if anyone has some input on pros and cons.

The year is 2076..... the world has gone to pot and you are only allowed to fish one way😮

Recently I was out on a fishing trip, pondering about life and hypothetical questions that matter - Serious stuff like what if the first person to discover colour blindness was actually colour blind and what we all know is all wrong; you know those types of questions 🤣

And then it came to me, eyes staring steely at the rod tips waiting for a rattle, legs ready to move quickly if the reel starts screaming.

The year is 2076, the Government have outlawed individuals from owning more than 1 rod and reel and worse still ... only allow 1 type method of fishing forever

punishment for those caught, severe .... you must watch the rod have a car door shut on the rod repeatedly until it becomes dust 😮

So yes serious stuff and consequences.

My question is ; what would you do?

Love to hear what you all think and also if anyone else goes into deep thought while fishing haha

Tight Lines !
