Aunty, I'll enter you in the jig contest thread. But let me get this straight - you, being primarily a saltwater fisher, haven't caught a steelhead at all yet? This needs our immediate attention. Get after the jig contest when the water gets clearer, and in the meantime work on drift fishings eggs or corky/yarn rigs. This is the year to get that steelie and more. Enough of them to quicken the learning curve in catching them consistently. You make 9 contestants and growing in the contest thread Marsha.

BTW, I understand about the Christmas shopping thing. I'm no great innovative guy in shopping for my wife, but how about those "shopping crackers" that buy their wives things to do more work in the kitchen with? Or the same perfume they gave last year and is only 1/3 used up yet. Get wise guys, buy them a GL3 and start them fishing. When they don't have time to use it I suppose you could find the time to make a little use out of it. ... jk jk jk
