$500 gets a lifetime hunting and fishing license in LA.

A nice set of Danner boots runs a bit over $300

A BPS is around $450-500

A small Calcutta w a nice rod could be had for under $500


He already has a lifetime license. He doesn't wear boots. He has a shotgun and plenty of rods and reels. Part of the reason I'm having trouble...
Thanks everyone for the replies so far.

what is his age?

Almost 30

He wouldn't use a YETI. He already has a lifetime license, and the only gun I would consider getting his is a Henry Golden Boy .22lr

He has Costas, and is a bigger fisherman than hunter but enjoys both. The knife is a good idea. I like that a lot. As far as Filson goes, what garment would y'all recommend?

Thanks again and keep em coming!
I'm in need of suggestions for an outdoor related gift under $500. The recipient is an avid angler, and general outdoorsman. He hunts what moves, catches what bites and grabs what jumps. Generally speaking he doesn't but hi-end gear, but I would love to surprise him with an heirloom item.

Does the OB have thoughts on the matter? Thanks for the wisdom.
That's pretty good. You must really be looking forward to this game, or maybe just the Honey Badger stuff has gotten out of control. Either way, I think it's hilarious.
Gracias. That's what I was looking for.
Anyone know a good local fishing or tackle shop in Shreveport/Bossier area? I know BPS has a great selection but I would much rather support locals.

My apologies Choirboy. Just speaking from experience.

IMO, drifting with live, small (<1 lb) hard tails is your best bet for pelagics of just about any kind. Use a kite and hold on. The trick is finding and catching the livies to begin with. If there are fish in the area, this is usually successful.

As far as "marking" tuna, it's a situational kind of thing. If you're in blue water and see a large mass on the fish finder at any kind of depth, there are only so many things it could be. Tuna being the usual culprit.

I hear if you go out there with a horseshoe stuck up your arse you are more likely to catch marlin. Just what I've heard.

Sorry I can't be of more help with the tuna question.
