Lyrics by Big Brother Frank and Fred, photo by California Chris, design by Chaweenee<\/p><\/div>\n

The good thing about the end of fishing season is how seamlessly it segues to the season for making merry. \u00a0Therefore, in an unending quest to blend the our two most beloved seasons, Big Brother Frank and I offer you our annual Fishmas Card.<\/p>\n

Tight lines in the New Year and jingle jingle, y’all.<\/p>\n

Lovely Weather for a Surfcast Together With You<\/h2>\n
(to the tune of Sleigh Ride, by Mitchell Parrish and Leroy Anderson, 1948)<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n

\u00a0Just see those striped bass finning<\/p>\n

Ring-ting-tingling too<\/p>\n

Come on it\u2019s lovely weather<\/p>\n

For a surfcast together with you<\/p>\n

Outside the tide is falling<\/p>\n

And Googins are calling, \u201cYoo-hoo\u201d<\/p>\n

Come on it\u2019s lovely weather<\/p>\n

For a surfcast together with you!<\/p>\n

Fish \u2018em up, fish em up, fish em up<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go; how far can you throw?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re fishing in a wild nor\u2019easter blow.<\/p>\n

Crank em in, crank em in, crank em in<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t snag; keep your hands off the drag.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re casting along with a song<\/p>\n

Of a fisherman\u2019s fairy land.<\/p>\n

Our lures are sharp and shiny,<\/p>\n

And picked out by Harvey with glee.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in the suds together<\/p>\n

Like two sharpies with white boots would be.<\/p>\n

Cast over the bar out deeper<\/p>\n

And nail a keeper or two.<\/p>\n

Come on, it\u2019s lovely weather<\/p>\n

For a surfcast together with you.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a striped bass party<\/p>\n

At the home of old Jack Yee.<\/p>\n

It will be the perfect ending of a blitz for me.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be filleting the fish<\/p>\n

We love to grill without a single stop<\/p>\n

At the barbeque while we watch<\/p>\n

The Clampie pop; Pop! Pop! Pop!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a happy feeling<\/p>\n

Nothing on a boat can match.<\/p>\n

When that big\u2019un in the wash winds up<\/p>\n

a 12-pound catch.<\/p>\n

It’ll nearly be like a picture print<\/p>\n

By Currier and Ives.<\/p>\n

These wonderful fish are the things<\/p>\n

We remember all through our lives!<\/p>\n

Just see those striped bass finning<\/p>\n

Ring-ting-tingling too.<\/p>\n

Come on it\u2019s lovely weather<\/p>\n

For a surfcast together with you.<\/p>\n

Outside the tide is falling<\/p>\n

And Googins are calling, \u201cYoo hoo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Come on it\u2019s lovely weather<\/p>\n

For a surfcast together with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
