big stripers were fattening
on the bunker around.
The tourists were relaxing,
enjoying the sun,
while Flap lay there shaking
anticipating the run.
And George in his breathables,
and Alan in his cap,
Had just settled their bones
for a long summer's nap.
When what into Flap's
crazed mind did appear,
but visions of bass
busting bait real near.
Forty and fifty,
sixty pounds or more.
Crushing his plug
and racing from shore.
And rocks and currents
and barnacles sharp,
to fray and abrade,
and make his line part.
"Oh what should I do",
He started to fret,
"How can I land
my biggest fish yet?"
"Conventional tackle!"
he thought in a flash,
and off to M&D's
he made a mad dash.
There he found
the reel of his dreams.
A few hundred bucks,
would buy peace, so it seems.
And now our Flap's ready,
for the fish of his life.
But whatever you do,
PLEASE DON'T TELL HIS WIFE!

Laugh as u may,but I'm still waxing rod's and reel's...sand=salt=blood-slime..no worries....on the inside some get either blue grease or super lube or 90 weight grear oil.

before any screws get put in their holes, a dab o wax gets put on the threads....frozen screws=never.

anything used[reel] that I may pick up gets an ultra sonic bath and then do my thing as you see above.

BOAT fish do count.

Good point Steve, always wax the rods and reels. I got a supply of jars of the old Penn Blue Grease. Best stuff there ever was.

Why even try.........
