With the silly season upon us, if you're fishin' for some great gift ideas then we've got you covered here at CH Smith Marine.

We all know someone who's particularly tricky to buy for – well look no further. We have something here for everyone – with a wide Range of quality marine brands and products available, we'll surely have something to suit.

New lures

Is there anything better than Heading out on the water with a new set of lures to try out? Our Black Magic gift packs make a great present, with everything you need to get started. Check out our squid gift pack or the whiting gift pack – both complete with rigs, lure, Leader and beanie!

Snacks for along the way

Pies and sausage rolls while you're out fishing? Yes please!

Travel Buddy marine ovens are portable and designed to be used onboard boats. Simply load it up with pasties, pizzas, pies – you name it – and set the timer for hot food!

Or what about a cold drink? For an esky or icebox cooler that's built to last, why not check out Yeti's Range of coolers and stubby holders? Available in-store only, these make a great gift so you can keep your drinks cool out on the water!

Music to our ears

For the fishos who want to rock out while out on the water, we have some great deals on our Fusion sound systems and speakers.

StereoActive is the world's first portable, fully waterproof floating sound system – and all small enough to carry in your hand!

Easy to carry so you can stream music wherever you go – take StereoActive out with you on the water, on your Kayak, paddle board, bike or in the caravan, and let the good times roll.

Fusion's Apollo series is also an excellent choice – with Bluetooth streaming and PartyBus mode allowing you to control audio distribution across multiple zones or areas of the Boat.

Electronics

We have specials across our range of Marine Electronics, with free shipping on selected items.

Buy any HDS Live or Elite Ti² unit before December 31st, 2019 and get a FREE Lowrance fishing shirt.

Books and DVDs

The second best thing to Heading out fishing over the Christmas break is kicking back with a good book – or increasing your knowledge of what to do out on the water. Check out our wide library of reads and DVDs here.

We personally recommend How to Use An Echosounder-Fishfinder. This is a great guide to echosounders that will help you get the most out of your Sonar equipment, packed full of information on technologies such as CHIRP and Sonar Imaging.

If you're based in Melbourne, another great guide is the AFN FishingGuide to Western Port, with over 150 detailed GPS maps of specific fishing areas, information on every major Species, as well as best bait areas, times and methods.

If you're getting organised with ropes, The Splicing Handbook (Second Edition) is a fully illustrated, step-by-step guide that includes every splice project a boater will ever need. Great gift for Christmas.

Nautical Gifts

We stock a great Range of Nautical Gifts and decorations; everything from timber steering wheels, ornamental lobsters, and mariner themed keyrings.

How about a brass Tide Clock or barometer to complete the look of your Boat or to give your home more of a nautical feel? We have a Range of different sizes and styles to suit.

PLBs & Outdoor Gear

For the hiker in your life – a handheld GPS or personal locator beacon (PLB) is a great gift and always handy to have if you're out bush or hanging out on the water.

If fact, having a PLB can be a real lifesaver. In case of emergency, you can alert authorities to your location and you'll be swiftly saved.

How about some binoculars or some sunnies for when you're out and about?

Active Casuals wet shoes are always popular, too – super comfy and flexible. You'll never look back! Available in both male and female sizes.

Fun on the water

Get diving with some of our scuba and snorkeling gear from Cressi and other great brands.

Or what about a kayak? If your New Year's Resolution is to take more time out, then Heading out down the river is one of life's great joys.

Gift Vouchers

Still stuck? For the even trickier fishos to buy for, there are also our store Gift Vouchers!
