Tips from Flap

We all know Flap likes feathers on the tail of a needle, but I never had any idea he used this many.

Thumbs up

Musta flown into the back of Flap's head not expecting to see anything way up there. Good to see the lad back on the beach.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Numby, you forgot to mention that I had another one on and dropped it halfway to the beach.

This morning I looked at my rod/reel and noticed a little tuft of down stuck in the leader swivel. Looks like a strike indicator.

Sh!tty fight from them, they hit hard and just give up.

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

first it was swan feathers and now this you're beginning to get a history in this dept.

I have plans for a sealskin plug, can you by any chance help me out on that Flap?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
