December 24, 2021: It’s snowing out today, Christmas Eve. A White Christmas is upon us here in the Northeast. A touch of hope and cheer for this Holiday Season, which otherwise would be troubled and wearisome.
At least the surf fishing season had moments that were merry and bright. We’ve had better years in the catching department, but nothing topped 2021 on the people chart. Daughter and son Diane and Daniel fished with me in the spring. The Red Hill Gang returned to fish in the fall. And the all-season-long highlight was Brother Frank’s return to the East End surf from California. Happily, BBF and I once again present our annual Fishmas Card, appropriate for these stormy times. Stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Jingle jingle, ya’ll.

OH THE STRIPERS IN THE SURF ARE BLITZING,
BUT THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS SPRITZING
SINCE WE’VE NO PLACE TO GO
LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW
IT DOESN’T SHOW SIGNS OF STOPPING
AND OUR LURES ARE RIGHT FOR POPPING
BASS ARE HITTING US HIGH AND LOW
LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW
IF WE FINALLY LOSE THE BITE
THE BIGG’UNS ARE SURE TO BE GONE
BUT IF WE READ THE TIDE JUST RIGHT
ALL SEASON LONG WE’LL BE ON!
THE SUN IS SLOWLY RISING
AND AT LAZY, THE WEAKS SURPRISING
INTO THE WIND WE WILL THROW
LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW!
