Fishmas Card 2011: Keeper Bass Coming to Town

Never Say Never. The season officially ended last week, but did anyone tell the fish?
December 19, 2011: Right up until the closing bell on December 15,  the 2011 striped bass surfcasting season was consistently  3 to 4 weeks off schedule.  September was a sleeper.  The “count-on-able” Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur blitzes didn’t happen until Columbus Day weekend. And the herring and bunker runs that historically characterize November hardly appeared until early December.  At this rate, we may in fact have keeper bass for Christmas. That notion inspired this year’s Fishmas card by me and Big Brother Frank.

Keeper Bass Are Coming To Town
(To the tune of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”)
You better cast straight
And tie on a fly
Look for the bait
I’m telling you why
Keeper bass are coming to town.
They’re in at sun-rise
Along with the blues
Gonna find out
Who’s paying their dues
Keeper Bass are coming to town.
They see you with your buck tails
They know when things are jake
They know if you’re a goog’ or not
So be good for goodness sake!
O! They’re blitzing the Light
So work that new lure
A really good bite
Big stripers for sure
Keeper Bass are coming to town.
