e Ogeechee
Gift ideas for that special angler in your family
Do you have someone you
need to buy a Christmas gift for,
and all they love is fishing on the
Ogeechee or anywhere big fish
are caught?
Please know that not all fishing
gifts are created equal. Now,
singing bass or fish themed
aprons are cute, but, they are not
going to get you on the water
more than you are usually are, nor
will it improve anyones angling
game. Those that love fishing
need to be showered with gear
that will have them enjoying the
sport even more than they already
do.
I thought for Christmas, I
would put together a list of gifts
ideas for those fishing fanatics in
your family. This list is made up
of everything from fishing lures,
gadgets and fishing clothing
that will keep you comfortable
during the season. Now, I cannot
guarantee that buying these things
will increase the size of your
families catch, but I can say there
is a pretty good chance they will
help. These gifts will definitely
be appreciated and well used
by all fishing enthusiasts. These
unique gift ideas make fishing
more pleasant and easier to catch
the very best in fish.
Whether you are keeping your
catch or just need to chill down
your lunch and cool some beers,
a cooler is a must. The Igloo
IMX 70 quart cooler is great,
sizable and portable. Better, it is
extremely insulated and helps ice
last for over seven days.
Fishing can often involve
quick slide on shoes. I would say
something that you wear between
boots and sneakers. The best
ones I have found to use are New
Balance 200 Sliders. These are so
comfy that you may even want
to wear them on shore and in the
water.
Now, a very important item to
carry on any fishing excursion is
a water bottle. The Yeti Rambler,
26 ounce Water Bottle is a must
for any fisherman. It will keep
your water to a cool temperature
for over 36 hours.
Now, one of my favorite
new gadgets is the Orvis Flow
Zinger. This item is perfect for
holding your clippers, forcepts,
fish holding tongs and etc. It is
actually like a retractable leash
for your dog, except it clips to
your pants or your fishing box
and keeps these items close at
hand. I have found that I really
need more than one. They are
very handy.
And, for my last suggested
item. I personally suggest the L.L.
Bean Mountain Classic Puffer
Vest for any advid angler. This
classic vest cost around $80, but
it very nicely made and offers a
quick warm up for the morning
or evening on the water. Not to
mention, it doesn't inhibit all your
arm movements that go along
with fishing. It is water resistant
and the pockets are large enough
for those cold river/lake hands.
I hope you found something on
this list for the fisherman in your
family. I know, I sure did.
I wish you a very Happy Fishing
Holiday and Happy Gifting!

Grab a good read over
the holidays

The library will be closed from Friday, December 22 through Tuesday,
December 26 to allow our staff to enjoy the holiday with their families.
We will reopen on Wednesday, December 27 at our usual hours.
We do have a quick reminder for any of you who can’t make it to the
library to stock up on reading material and movies, though - you’re not
out of luck for free entertainment courtesy of your library! Libby has
lots of ebooks and audiobooks (great for listening to if you’ll be taking
a long holiday drive) and you can download it onto a phone, tablet, or
computer with nothing but the Libby app and your library card!
If you’re more in the mood for movies, download the Kanopy app, and
you can watch movies, documentaries and more with your library card
and an internet connection. It even works on smart TVs!
We will be closed on Monday, January 1 for New Year’s Day.
Want to know what else is going on at the library? Head over to www.
facebook.com/jenkinscountymemoriallibrary and “Like” us to get the
latest news about the library, early looks at the latest additions to our
collection, and more!
New at the library
ALEX CROSS MUST DIE by James Patterson. It all started for Alex
Cross when he got a call from DC Metro Police, calling him out to Reagan
International Airport and letting him know that a plane had just exploded
on the runway. But this explosion wasn’t some kind of mechanical fault
- it was because the plane had been shot down by a stolen Vietnam War
era machine gun. There’s not a lot of people who can fire such a weapon,
but they are racing against time to find the shooter and bring them to
justice before another plane goes down in flames... or before the killer
finds his new target. Detective Alex Cross.
Well, that’s all for now - see you at the library, and have a very merry
Christmas!
