It’s not that FishTales went away this year. \u00a0More the case that the fish hardly made an appearance.<\/p>\n

A brief blitz of bass in mid-October. Then came Hurricane Sandy and, well, you know the rest.<\/p>\n

Still, this is the season of hopes and dreams. \u00a0So we pine for the miracle of Christmas Bass, in the most figurative sense.<\/p>\n

And as Big Brother Frank and I have penned here: “We Believe”.<\/p>\n

Therefore, may there be a Van Staal under your tree, a keeper on your line, \u00a0and love and peace on Earth for the New Year.<\/p>\n

Merry Fishmas to all.<\/p>\n

GRANDMA NAILED A KEPER AT THE LIGHTHOUSE<\/strong><\/h2>\n
(To the tune of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer)<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Grandma nailed a keeper at the Lighthouse,<\/p>\n

Fishing on the slack tide Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

You can say there’s no such thing as Santa.<\/p>\n

But as for all the Sharpies, they believe.<\/p>\n

She’d been drinking rum with Harvey,<\/p>\n

And we begged her not to go.<\/p>\n

But she slipped into her waders,<\/p>\n

And she staggered to the Point under the snow.<\/p>\n

When she weighed in Christmas morning,<\/p>\n

Down at Paulie\u2019s Tackle Shop,<\/p>\n

She had a striper in the cooler,<\/p>\n

And a big ole nasty bluefish on the top.<\/p>\n

Now the bass is on the table,<\/p>\n

And the pudding made of fig.<\/p>\n

But Grandma’s deep into her tide charts.<\/p>\n

She says New Year\u2019s Eve at North Bar will be big.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
