I don't know what kind of fish he likes to fish for.  Which gift basket should I choose?

My baskets are organized by the type of fish.  If you aren't sure what kind he fishes for you could probably just ask him.  Most men would not suspect anything if you asked them.   Most likely they would be happy to talk about fishing!  You may also be able to find pictures of the sportsman with his fish, and compare those to the pictures found on this site.  

If you cannot determine what type of fish, don't let that concern you too much.  A rule of thumb is that in the South, the largemouth bass is king. In fact, the largemouth bass can be found in every state, but certainly if he fishes in the south you pretty much can't go wrong with the Largemouth Bass Gift Basket.  These lures are excellent quality and often can be used for other types of fish as well.

In northern states, besides largemouth bass you will find walleye and smallmouth bass are quite popular. Walleye and smallmouth bass prefer clearer, cooler water than largemouth bass.  They can both be caught on very similar lures in many cases, however the walleye lures are typically a bit larger.  If he fishes in the north, you can't go wrong with the Walleye Gift Basket or the Smallmouth Gift Basket.  If you need to choose, go with the Smallmouth Gift Basket as the smaller lures will be more versatile.  The Smallmouth Gift Basket is probably the best choice for those that fish in the large resevoirs of the mid-south (Kentucky, Tennessee, etc)

The Northern Pike and Muskie Gift Basket is quite specialized.  Only order this one if you know he hunts these large predators found mostly in northern states and in Canada.  The lures are large and will not be useful for smaller types of fish.

Salmon are most often found in the Great Lakes of the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and the Northeast.  These large silvery fish are often caught by charter boats trolling on large bodies of water.  Here is an idea:  If you can find his fishing license, check to see if he has a "salmon" stamp attached to it.  This is a dead giveaway that the Salmon Gift Basket will be a hit!

If you still aren't sure, drop me an email at Robert@MakeHimSmile.com and together we can figure out the best gift basket for your fisherman.  Or refer to the table below of the most common gamefish by state.
