Super User Gone_Phishin Posted December 25, 2008 Super User Posted December 25, 2008 I would love to post pics, but unfortunately I don't own a digital camera. Branuss04 really hooked it up. I received a BBZ-1 in Dirty Shad, a two pack of Jewel Pro Spider jigs (Brown Purple Flash, 5/16), two packs of Canyon Plastics Gitzit tubes (green pumpkin and watermelon candy), a char/white chatterbait, and watermelon/red Horny Toads. Believe it or not, he's not done guys. He still has another package on the way to me. I'll definitely post an update when it arrives Thanks a million Brandon. I'm super happy with the gifts. The BBZ-1 is my first hard swimbait, and I can't wait to get it full of slime.
Super User .ghoti. Posted December 26, 2008 Super User Posted December 26, 2008 I finally opened my package, from Dominion Dan. He sent me five deep crankbaits, just exactly what I would have bought myself. Three Fat Free Shads, a Poe's Comp cedar, and a River2Sea deep diver. Perfect. Thanks Dan, and thanks again for organizing this. Dan, I looked through your 50 posts I searched, and found no mention of any kind of stuff you might want, or need. So I got you some baits I wanted. I'd been eyballing those baits, and had just ordered a few for myself when you sent me your name for the exchange. So, I ordered a few for you too, knowing that a BPS was close, and you could exchange them if necessary. The reason I've been interested in those baits is their little brother, the Twitchin Rap. On the list of my largest fish caught in 2008, #2, #4 and #5 were caught on a Twitchin Rap. You might try a few of those also. Cheers, GK
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 26, 2008 Super User Posted December 26, 2008 Merry Christmas! I opened my package from mattm and found this monster: http://sfttackle.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=474&ParentCat=30 I can hardly wait get this baby wet. Woo-hoo! Thanks Matt! -Kent
Super User Dan: Posted December 26, 2008 Super User Posted December 26, 2008 ghoti, I'll make sure to look into those twitchin raps. I'm glad you liked the crankbaits. I saw a thread you made about wanting to get some deep divers including fat free shads and some Poe's. The River2sea was just because it was a deep diver and I like that baby bass color they have. I hope you like the colors because I have no idea what works best in Illinois so I just got what I thought looked good. Hope they catch you some fish!
IDbasser Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Hey Catt I got stuff. You must be a mind reader. I was planning on fishing jigs more this year, and I have been thinking about using frogs, but had not figured out out which ones to get. I can hardly wait to try out the swimbaits. We will have to wait till after the thaw out before I will be able to show pics of the smallies these will catch. Thanks a bunch. I hope the tracking numbers help in locating your package. :-/
Super User Jimzee Posted December 27, 2008 Super User Posted December 27, 2008 Just wanted to thank RedlineRobert for the awesome gift I found in my mailbox. I tried to take a few macro shots but I suck at these without a tripod. A new Mattlures Bluegill hardbait. Freaking sweet!! The colors on this thing just pop and it's realistic as hell. Matt, if you read this, your baits are top notch. Can't wait to see a Stonewall pig swallow this thing in the spring. Thanks again Robert, you rule. Blaine 8-)
Super User burleytog Posted December 27, 2008 Author Super User Posted December 27, 2008 You do suck at taking photos. ;D
Super User Jimzee Posted December 27, 2008 Super User Posted December 27, 2008 You do suck at taking photos. ;D I had one hand on the camera and the other talking to you on the phone. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Super User burleytog Posted December 27, 2008 Author Super User Posted December 27, 2008 That's a likely story. One hand on the camera and we all know where the other was...
Super User Catt Posted December 27, 2008 Super User Posted December 27, 2008 IDbasser we fooled everyone Suggestion try the craw worms T-rigged
IDbasser Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 I sure will. This place around here is full of crawdads. I swear that is only thing these smallies eat all summer. It is the only thing they ever spit up in my boat anyway. I can hardly wait for ice to leave.
CFFF 1.5 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Anyone heard from Fr0g I was paired with him for the Xmas exchange and bought tackle from ***.com and sent it directly to his address. I have tried pm'ing him and he hasn't respnoded. i'm just wondering if he got what I sent.
FR0G Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Sorry, I have been gone. I sent out your package, but you haven't gotten it yet? That is really weird. Let me see if I can find my reciept with the tracking number. CFFF 1.5 was a awesome dude and bought me a 9" Lunker Punker! EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you! If you don't get the package in the next couple of days, I will send something new out. Although, I am taking a loss sending out two gifts. I don't know if you want to know what I got you, but its something you wanted.
CFFF 1.5 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Hey man it's cool. I'm just glad you got the lunker punker. I was worried that you didn't get it. *** didn't give me a tracking number so I didn't know if it had been delivered. Let's wait a couple more days and see if it shows up. When did it ship. I'll go check the mail now and see if it is in the box. I didn't check the mail yesterday. Just glad you got my gift.
Super User Jimzee Posted December 28, 2008 Super User Posted December 28, 2008 Let me see if I can find my receipt with the tracking number. Although, I am taking a loss sending out two gifts. : Smells like to me.
Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 28, 2008 Super User Posted December 28, 2008 Sorry, I have been gone....Although, I am taking a loss sending out two gifts. Why even say that? I'm with Blaine. :
Super User burleytog Posted December 28, 2008 Author Super User Posted December 28, 2008 Although, I am taking a loss sending out two gifts. A loss? :-? Dude, I've already sent out packages to three members here and have a couple more to send out this week. I don't expect anything in return. If I was in the exchange for my own benefit, I wouldn't even bother. It's all about giving. A loss? ;D
Super User Catt Posted December 28, 2008 Super User Posted December 28, 2008 I don't know how since IDbasser selected my name so it must be out of shear generosity but I received a package of 9 type/colors of some absolutely wonderful plastic lures from a most gracious sponsor. Don't be too hard on FROG just yet since the United States Postal Service has misplaced my package from IDbasser. Something about blaming their carrier? :-?
IDbasser Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 So does that mean you got the package? I had Brent ship you your gift items directly instead of double shipping. I can't get anything decent here without ordering it.
Super User Catt Posted December 29, 2008 Super User Posted December 29, 2008 So you're saying the package would be addressed from ***? This is too good the Postal Service is saying they never delivered the package but left a notification of failure to deliver, so after we PMed each other I went to the Post Office and they searched every where saying they could not find the package under Label/Receipt Number: 9101 1501 3471 1478 8675 50 but they would have to check with their courier. I'm thinking this is strange IDbasser sent me a package that can't be found and I got a package from Brent for no reason, talk about scratching your head. So I get the package out from Brent and there at the bottom of the address label is 420 70605 9101 1501 3471 1478 8675 50. Dude thanks a lot for the lures and a good laugh because I'm going back to the Post Office to ask for my package. Dude I've got to post this on line if you don't mind Tommy T
FR0G Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Jeez, sorry guys. Don't blame me on this. I have sold and traded alot of stuff via USPS and have lost many items. It is not a rare occasion. I am sending out some stuff tomorrow since you guys are saying I am bull****ing. Amazing you guys can get one me like that. I am taking a loss because I am a teenager with no job. I could have used the money I am using for another present for gas or something like that. I am not blaming this on CFFF at all. I guess since Christmas is gone everybody lost their spirit.

Why are you gonna go and send stuff out again? :-? I would go to the Post office and find out whats going on.
Super User Muddy Posted December 29, 2008 Super User Posted December 29, 2008 Hey fellas it's a goodwill Christmas thing we choose to participate in. Dan took time from his studies to put it together for us , lets give this kid the benifit of the doubt. For me it's not what I get but the chance to give a gift to another member
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 29, 2008 Super User Posted December 29, 2008 Hey guys, lighten up! Lets stay off the forum and work problems out via PM or simply drop it. If you sent an item and can't track it down, so be it. No one is "owed" a "gift". Rather than editing this thread and digging a deeper hole, I'm closing it. Work your issues out privately. The whole idea was for fun. I'm sorry if this hasn't worked out for everyone, but it did for most. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator
