Santa’s Fishing Cheer.
- What’s under the tree for the fisho this season.
It was the night before Christmas and all through the house every fisho was sleeping and wasn’t it grouse. When I opened an eye ball, what did I see but a Jolly red figure crouched under the tree.
Now I wasn’t quite sure but I watched on to see who this round bearded fellow might turn out to be. In one hand a fish net, the other a rod, he had to be careful on just what he trod.
With several bright lures all scattered around, the split rings and trebles made a light jingling sound. High on the top where the star used to be was the latest and best Cod Almighty DVD.
It’s just about now things slipped up a gear as out from the sack come a six pack of beer. A deck chair was next and a punnet of worms and Santa kicked back for some fishing he’d earned.
Out with the line and into the tank, and the goldfish went skyward in one well timed yank. Seems Santa was good with the rod and the reel and in no time at all he had filled his new creel.
But catch and release is what Santa did best so onto the brag mat for the measuring test. Then back in the water each fish was released with the aid of lip grippers to protect from the teeth.
With a flash set of sunnies to cut Christmas light glare six dozen new spinnerbaits fell down from his hair. As he reached out to move them you wouldn’t believe but a brand new fish finder slipped out from his sleeve.
Next from the sack a new motor he drew, it runs on a battery and so quiet too. Some sinkers, some hooks and out came the rest, all fishing attire to look finely dressed. Now back up the chimney as Santa was done he’d managed to leave heaps of great fishing fun. So what do you get for the fisho this year? I’m sure Santa has left a few great ideas here.
Codmac would like to wish all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
