One thing about boating and fishing, wife and kids always know what to get me. Seems every time i go out, i lose or break something.

I got my annual pair of Xtra Tuff boots, a pair of braid scissors, some Fish Bites bait and a couple pair of Hook and Tackle shorts.

How bout u guys?

I bought a orange colored 3'x3' distress flag for the V20, after taking the required California boating course I realized I didn't have a good coast guard approved daytime signal other than expired flares. $10 Orion flag from Amazon, hope I never have to use it.

My son got me a automatic inflatable life vest cause they past a NEW law in nj that from October till April you HAVE to wear a vest if your boat is under 20 feet in lenght so I guess if your boat is over 26 feet it's ok to drown according to the law makers.

Didnt get anything fishing related. But did buy 2 kids fishing rods and one a pile of bass lures. I only buy outdoors stuff for kids.

Step, here in New York we've had that law for a while, ours is from November 1, - May 1. If you have a boat over 21', it's sink or swim.

seems like everyone got what they needed or wanted.

Safety equipment is one of those things u buy and hope u never use.
