Due to some recent events, I've decided that I need a new fishing partner. If you feel you may be the right person for this rather illustrious job, please submit an application with your qualifications by Wed., 7/14. In order to be considered, you must meet the following simple criteria:
1: You must be willing and available to fish both early morning and late night hours on short notice. I'm terrible at planning, so I usually decide last minute when I'm going.
2: You should have access to and be able to read a tide chart. I'm very lazy and forgetful, so I rely on my fishing parnter for this information.
3: You must know the difference between a needle fish and a pencil popper.
4: You should either carry your cell phone with you or be single. I do not answer calls from wives or girlfriends at 3am wondering where you are when you're sitting next to me in the car on the way home from fishing.
5: Most importantly, you need to understand how to cast into moving water and work you plug or eel without crossing my line when I'm standing 30 feet away from you.
In return, you will have the opportunity to listen to my smart alec comments and insults and get to carry my eel bucket. As if that's not enough, you will also gain a wealth of fishing knowledge in a very short time by watching me and learning what not to do. This is stuff that just cannot be learned from watching tv or reading books.
