I can't believe only 30 members signed up for the exchange out of 15000. Sorry guys I'm a little behind power outage at the store for the whole weekend (bad on business) I tried to come on with my wife's Blackberry over the weekend that was no fun >    I had more problems than it was worth.

I realized the exchange is harder than I thought, buying for somone you have no idea what they fish with lures,line,etc.etc.

simplejoe, do what I did last year.  If you live near a Bass Pro, Academy or other sports outlet, find out if your recipient lives near one also.  Then send him a gift card.  It may seem a little impersonal, but you can't go wrong with the gift.  Unfortunately for me, this year I have drawn a recipient who does not live near any of the sports chain stores, and I categorically refuse to buy someone a gift card from WalMart.  So, I will send a gift composed of something I would like to receive.

Since I do not live near any sporting goods places , I ordered and had it sent to the person who I got.  I looked at some of the older posts from this person to see what to order.

Well I would have loved to have gotten in on this.  I just now saw the thread and checked it.

You can send me something if you want. ;D

Send me your address.

I got my person a whole bunch of stuff that I wanted, I figured that way if he didn't like it he could send it back to me. ;D

Thanks Dominion Dan.

Hear Hear great job Dan.

He did a horrible job.  Pairing me, an avowed hater of all things BPS, with someone who shops at BPS.

The nerve of some people...

Burley, just be glad I didn't accept certain bribes that were offered to pair you with even worse.... 8-)

Thanks fellas, so far only one hiccup in the exchange. Hopefully on Christmas we have 30 happy participants.

I would have sent you a dozen helicopter lures had you just paired me with Long Mike.  :'(

Thanks again

Thanks Dan for all the work you put into this, and hopefully everybody enjoys their gifts this Christmas.

We have some ice in the area, so wait a couple of days before delivering the new Bass Cat, Bay Cat:
