Happy new year everyone! The 2021 FishExplorer Winter Giveaway has ended and we have picked winners randomly from the entries that have been placed since mid-November.
The list of FxR nicknames of this year's winners is presented below. If you find your nickname on this list, expect an email from me today to let you know exactly what you won and if there is anything you need to do. Check your email junk folder (or promotion folder in gmail) if you do not see my email by this evening.
If your nickname is not on the list, I just have to say there's always next year. Well actually this year - we will do it again starting this coming November. That seems far away, but you can start now gaining points to help your cause! Submitting lake and river reports is the best way to do that, and we need them more than ever right now as the winter roller coaster ride changes our fishing conditions seemingly daily.
Without further ado, here are the 2021 FishExplorer Winter Giveaway winners:
Wow TY Matt.. I'm excited to check out my Anglers Aid.

Matt, I have always wondered what the bottom contour was at some of the ponds we fish. Now I'll be able to know for sure with the new Deeper Chirp + 2 that I won! And since I sold both my Vexilars right before the pandemic, I can get out on the ice with electronics again. Thanks very much to you, the sponsors, and contributors for the great gift, and for the excellent website and forums that you provide.
Wreckstar, 1/10/2022 8:31:00 AM
