Gift idea for guy who likes fishing (adult)

sunandsand

Need a $30 gift for a fishing enthusiast. Besides a bass pro gc. I don't know what kind of fishing he does.

maybe a subscription to a fishing magazine?

A note for a homemade picnic lunch the next time he goes fishing?   A gc to a local tackle shop?

A homemade dirt cake w/ gummy worms?

I just asked my husband (who is obsessed with fishing) and he said if you don't know what they fish for you can't really get any specific gear so a gift card is the best way to go.

Otherwise, he said if they ICE-fish you should get them a Beaver Dam Tip Up. Evidently he loves them (which might explain why he has SO many!).

Good luck!

DH suggested lures. Apparently you can always use more.

hope this helps!

I'm on my phone and first read the title as "guy who likes fisting". I was thinking, "no need to buy a gift". LOL, it must be time for bed.

Both my dad and FIL like to fish, and honestly, the gear and supplies they like are so specific to an "outsider" it is best to always get them a GC.

DH is obsessed with fishing and I agree that lures and tackle are very specific for what kind of fish they are trying to catch...I never buy anything for him that he doesn't specifically tell me he wants.

A good idea might be to buy one of those shirts that have built-in sun protection.  DH has a ton of these and wears them all the time while fishing.  He also loves visors to wear while fishing.

A nice fillet knife. That's pretty universal, unless he only does catch and release.

I got this for my dad last Christmas and he loves it

I would really avoid lures or bait since you don't know what type of fishing he does. The supplies for reel fishing vs. fly fishing are very different.

A few ideas:

-Fishing shirt (either a funny one or a practical, outdoor shirt)
-Polarized sunglasses (minimizes glare from the water)
-Fishing hat (a 3 second Google search pulled this up, but I'm sure there are better options https://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/pcid1219730-290?cid=PLA|Google&gclid=CM6mmqujyrMCFaU5Qgod5SMAPg)

Hope that helps! (and another parenthetical statement just for funsies)
