Tough conditions

[bigugli]

Despite the winds today managed to find some fish along the shoreline. Hard to detect the bite with the winds. Still managed some perch and one O.K beasty.

 

Better than another day indoors.

No kitchen sink. Mr Poike and 5 of the larger perch will be guests of honour at a later date. Having one of our notorious pot luck fish fries here at "Ugli Acres" in a couple of weeks. we end up with 30-40 redneck fisherpersons for some good clean fun and stuffed bellies. Great way to start my Christmas season.

I actually remember hearing the tune, not the words, when I was small.

 

One of my fave recordings is a 1981 tape from the Tapiolan Kuoro That my Gram bought for me at the Suomi Aitta. Always played at Christmas and when I spend long hours cooking.

The fave track would be " Vesi vasyy limen alle "

I know every note and harmony of the following even though I don't know the words

Gram would have me play it on the horn every once in a while.

That 5' glass rod is 40 years old and has never failed. A present from my Uncle Jonni. I still like using it for pannies. And that handle is solid cork. Lord knows how many times its gone swimming

 

The gear from the past may not be cutting edge but it was built to last. Just like the old 300A or my old Rapala knife that Gram bought me in Finland before they were available here.

 

Like they say: "Why mess with perfection?"

Well done.

 

Yeah that rod is old school my friend!

 

But, if it ain't broke.........

you mean like this!!!

 

first you have to dress up in your best hunting garb

 

 

 

Then after you have stalked your quarry, you have to chum up the area a bit

 

 

 

Then step 3 start fishing away

 

 

 

 

They actually aren't all that bad, if you boil then up just so, they have a nice light nutty flavour

 

 

I would just like to add, no actual chipmunks or resonable faximile there of where harmed during the making of this reply

'Eh, I still got one of the original Ugly Stiks my dad gave me, and still use it every spring for catfish. There hasn't been a rod built since then as perfectly suited to cats as that one.

 

Like I said, I was just buggin!

I know

 

And the original Ugly Stik had a lifetime warranty. I have one as well. Great for bush fishing.
