When your husband is a devoted fisherman, you get used to sharing him with his favorite pastime. You know how to make space on the wall for the record-setting fish he wants mounted. You're on a first-name basis with the local taxidermist, and you've got his number on speed dial.
Fishing notebooks were created for fishermen just like your husband. Before he jets off on his next fishing trip, consider giving him one as a gift.
Why a fishing notebook is a perfect gift
A fishing notebook is basically a journal for fishing trips. If you've ever listened to your husband grumbling because he can't remember where he was when he caught eight fish in an hour, then a fishing notebook would be a perfect gift. It will allow him to keep track of everything, from where he was and the lures he used to the weather and water conditions.
If fishing runs in your family, a fishing notebook can also be a powerful keepsake. You'll have the records of where and when your son caught his first crappie and all the details of the last fishing trip that spanned four generations. Old pages can even become pre-made scrapbook material. Even if your husband uses it as an informational resource, you can rest assured that memories will be written in the pages as well, saved for posterity.
What to look for in a fishing notebook
To get a fishing notebook that will meet all of your favorite fisherman's needs, look for these traits.
1) Rainproof pages. Fishermen are out on boats for all hours of the day, and the weather can be notoriously unpredictable. You don't want a fishing notebook filled with basic white notebook paper that will smear and turn to mush at the sign of a little moisture. Rainproof pages will stand up to the wettest places, and you won't have to worry about notes turning into illegible blurs.
2) A space for notes and a form for details. A fishing notebook isn't frilly. It should be functional and meet a fisherman's every need. It's a good idea to have one form-like page for detailed breakdowns and nitty-gritty information, and one blank, lined page for general notes.
The detailed breakdowns should include everything your husband could possibly want to record: where he were (which river or lake, GPS coordinates or latitude and longitude, and the weather conditions), the time of day, what equipment he used (lures, line weight, rod), who he was with, the water temperature, and, of course, what fish it was and how much it weighed.
It will also be helpful if the fishing notebook pages are perforated, with holes punched in the side so they fit nicely in a corresponding binder. The perforations will let you remove the paper from the notebook without leaving behind those annoying paper bits, so you'll have nice, neat pages for a scrapbook. It'll also help your husband, because he'll be able to save the information from his previous trips in a binder rather than keep them all in the notebook.
3) Although it's not necessary, an all-weather pen can be a very convenient addition to a fishing notebook, and a fun gift idea. These pens are rated to write in extreme heat and extreme cold, and you can usually find one that's able to write upside down and on wet paper. A pen like this works well for a fishing notebook, because you never know when or where fishermen will need to take notes.

Three Fun Camo Gifts for Your Favorite Huntress
Once upon a time, hunting was something that only men did. Since the dawn of time, they've been the ones sneaking up on buffalo, deer, turkeys and the ducks.
Not so anymore! In recent years, more and more women have taken up hunting. According to a survey by the National Sporting Goods Association, the number of female hunters increased 75 percent between 2001 and 2005. In fact, women now account for about 15 percent of the shooting, hunting and firearms marketplace.
This means that millions of men across the country now share their favorite pastime with wives and girlfriends.
Embrace your shared interests! Make her Christmas this year with some fun camo gifts that she'll never expect.
Camo bikinis
It may be a little cold outside now, but what better way to anticipate the eventual return of warm weather than with a camo bikini? And let's not forget that she'll need something to wear in the hot tub. With string bikinis and halter/boy short combos, you're guaranteed find a swimsuit that suits your girl perfectly.
Camo lingerie
Admit it. You think it's awesome to see your woman all dressed up in her hunting camo. Now imagine if you could bring it into the bedroom and make it a little more…revealing. That's where camo lingerie comes in. Camo baby dolls, camo camisoles and camo thongs bring your love of the outdoors into the bedroom in a fun new way that both you and your huntress will enjoy.
Camo loungewear
If your favorite girl would rather have something that's cute and comfortable (and less revealing), camo loungewear would probably be the way to go. A cute little tank nightgown, or a T-shirt paired with camo shorts or pants could give her some nice camo clothing that she could actually take into the woods.
You love going hunting together, so bring that passion somewhere unexpected! Surprise her today with a fun, sexy camo gift.
