My boyfriend, who is 28, is going on his annual boys bass fishing trip in Canada with his two best friends and I wanted to make a little basket of goodies for him for the trip. I'm already playing Susie Homemaker and made Rice Krispie treats (yeah, his favorite) for the ride, but I wanted to get him some fishing stuff. I was thinking baits/lures, etc. He has a 17" bass boat which they'll be on. My only real hang-up is I don't know much about the fishing in Canada where he'll be, but they're big bass fishermen, however, I know he's also caught Northern Pike and such up there. I think he's going to Eagle Lake, btw. I'm going for kick-a** gf of the year here. Ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I live in Duluth Mn and have fished in Canada frequently. If your boyfriend is a hardcore Bass guy he will probably be targeting Smallmouth on this trip. They may also decide to go for some Walleye, (Walleye make a good shore-lunch for a hungry fisherman). Here are some ideas for lures and gifts that will work (or be needed) on their trip: 1. A nice Leatherman Multi-tool- Skip the basket and get him something he will have a long time! A multi-tool is a "booyah" gift for a boyfriend and highly functional- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores
2. Yamamoto, 5" Senko in "Smoke" color- 6-8 bags of these will come in REAL handy for a Smallmouth Bass trip in Canada- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores
3. Strike King, 3/16 OZ Spinnerbait, in "Bleeding White" color- 6-8 of these would be excellent for that "reaction strike" bite- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores
4. Heddon, Super Spook Jr, in "Okie Shad" color- Best Topwater of all time, (but with improvements!)- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores
5. Mepps, Black Fury 1/2 OZ in Yellow Dot color- Inline Spinners catch everything in Canada. Make sure to get 5-6 of these- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores
You get him all of these and he'll sh*t his pants! (lol) Hope this helps? (Make sure to read the reviews of the products I suggested!) Good luck! PS- If making a basket make sure to include some good (deet) Mosquito repellent, a variety of flavors of potted mini-hotdogs, and some beef jerky.........(wink)!
