Do you think burning things in effigy...

Is an effective way to remove a curse?

I'm thinking my old fishing cap, from when I started surfcasting might be holding me back. It's tattered and not very attractive. A little kerosene and she'd go right up.

Other than that I've considered offering eels vodka, hanging webs made from flouro around my house to catch evil spirits and beating the neighbors cat.

Perhaps I should just sell all my gear and get back to cooking. Those surf rods would buy a lot of French Copper.

Thoughts?

Beating the neighbors cat..... hmmm......Ah it's not worth it. If things got you down and fishing isn't going to plan then sure go ahead and shake things up. Burn the hat, and switch out the "old reliable" plugs in your bag that your used to using. Try something diferent. Pretend it's opposite day. Do the uncannty or unthinkable. Fish locations you ordinarily don't. Fish tides or times you ordinarily don't. Take a week off and start with a fresh mind again. If that doesn't get the mojo going then consider looking for the neighbors cat!!!

And before any of you cat loving, feline PETA freaks sound off these cat comments are made in jest.

I think if you gave a custom plug to me and Eben the curse would be lifted.

Absolutly not. Just take the cap and give it to your best fishing partner. If he starts having bad luck, do not mention the curse, but do take him or her out for a nice diner [or dinner-I always get them mixed up].

that would probably work.

What would also work is when he goes fishing with someone who says" Ive been doing very very well with white superstrike darters casting right over there- to actually listen to him and not tie on an eel rig...

Spence- I'm going to be over there tonight... 2nd time is a charm.

If you want a cat to beat, you can have mine, just let me get a few kicks first.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

God, keep the cap, it has the mojo. You just need to do the totally opposite of the norm. Fish the dead tides, the back creeks, high noon, and the jetties loaded with crud. Catch a fish and you'll be on your way to riddin the voodoo. Skip kickin the cat, last time I booted mine, I found the hidden leg under the middle of the couch. Some toes still point in an odd angle.

Scott Proctor of the Yankees apparently took a bunch of gear out of his locker at Yankee Staduium today after the Yanks lost to the A's 8-0 and burned it.

Hopefully it will not work for him, but it may provide you with some observational data - you can check out whether Proctor pitches better from here on out and draw your own conclusions about his efforts to change his luck.

I have heard that running a cursed cap through a virgin dishwasher has a 98% success rate of curse removal.

Sounds like a Lugo-style slump. Just don't make the third out on an independent, ill-advised attempt at stealing third when there is two outs.
Whatever you do, do it before the trade deadline.

To break all my slumps I've poured a few ounces of beer into Mother Ocean and she has always rewarded me for quenching her thirst. Bronko do I speak the truth or what? Try it. She loves Miller Lite.

So you think burning something in effigy will help your

fishing endeavours "catch fire." Is this an oxymoron? Or an inverted redundancy? Or something............................stupid or my part?
