Fisherman’s Christmas Poem

Merry Christmas to all and all a happy new year

With new lakes on our minds we can fish without fear

Were filled with the knowledge of old lakes of past

With room for improvement knowing our knowledge will last

We figure our lake and study or maps

Looking for bars, weed beds, and humps, and grass

We know if we studied and completed our goal

We’ll catch many of them fish we’ve all come to know

It comes in all species and catching is great

We fish till were pleased and never hesitate

Never hesitate we do for that one more cast

Hoping it never comes and last and last and last

We love our fishing for obvious reasons

We fish them happily all through the seasons

Winter, Spring, Summer, and fall

It all fun to us an always a ball

We fish with our jigs we fish with our flies

We fish till we catch and once and awhile a tiny white lie

We love this old sport we started when young

The older we get it’s still so much fun

We fish in the morning and noon and night

Setting that hook when that floats out of site

It always an experience that pleasing and true

Love this old sport in the red white and blue

So remember this poem I’m writing to you

It’s one thing we have in common fishing how simple and true

With friends to share in our experience a must

Oh what a beautiful, beautiful rush

Till next year with our new found memories galore

We’ll fish in the waters we all just adore

We’ll fish long and hard for that beautiful thrill

For that great little fish known as the majestic Bluegill.

It’s always a thrill and always so nice

Oh no I got to go I just seen some ice

DICK AND LEO LOVED THE POEMS FELLAS AND THANKS FOR POSTING EM !!!!!!!!! MMMMMMMERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS ON HERE !!!!!

great poem

Thanks Richard when your hemmed in and can't get out you do strange things this was my first try at a poem but what a great time of year to do one.

Dick, great job, just A little BBG history,  the Christmas fish poems were started 5 years ago by one of our members who has gone on to that big bluegill bed in the sky, Bluegill Boogieman, and for the last 5 years  I have referenced him in my poems, his was also one of the most popular characters on here,and he is the one who started  " licence to gill ''  , one of my jobs now is to keep records and pass out the Licence to Gill numbers. So now that you  have your feet wet, it will be easier for your next Christmas poem, keep up the good work .  LOFR
