Hi all,
This is my first post on the forum. I run a somewhat small tech startup company and one of my employee's birthday is this weekend - he left a relatively stable job to come work for me, so I want to make sure he feels valued with a nice birthday gift.
He is a really good guy and is absolutely obsessed with fishing - he estimates that he goes kayak fishing about 200+ times per year, and often wakes up at the crack of dawn to fish the lakes of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and the surrounding areas before putting in a full day's work at the office. I know he often fishes for bass and is not at all a fly-fisher (he talks **** about them for some reason).
Full disclosure - I know next to nothing about fishing, other than I have been a few times and enjoy it. I certainly do not know enough to pick out a proper gift for him. I was thinking of a gift card at a store that would carry some consumables that he would regularly use or niche gear that he would want, but I have no clue what that would be. I know he already has thousands invested in his reels, rods, kayaks, etc.
Is there a well-reputed fishing online store that would be relatively safe for me to buy him a gift card too? Somewhere that would carry relatively niche gear for the serious enthusiast? While I do not know much about fishing, I am a serious enthusiast of several other niche hobbies (car racing, audiophile, bourbon, etc) and would much prefer that someone buy me a gift card to an enthusiast focused store as opposed to trying to choose a gift for me.....
Thanks so much!
