Ran across some fishing jokes so I am posting some.
2198 A woman goes into a shop to buy a rod and reel as a
gift
She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the
counter where there's a shop assistant wearing dark shades. "Excuse me sir" she
says "can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?"
The assistant replies "Ma'am I'm blind but if you drop it on the counter I can
tell you everything you need to know about it from the sound it makes."
She didn't believe him, but dropped it on the counter anyway.
He said, "That's a 6' graphite rod with a Zebco 202 reel and 10 lb. test
line...It's a good all around rod and reel and it's only $20.00".
The lady said, "It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it
dropping on the counter. I think it's what I'm looking for so I'll take it."
He walks behind the counter to the register, and in the meantime the woman
breaks wind big-time. At first she is embarrassed but then realizes that there
is no way he could tell it was her...being blind he wouldn't know that she was
the only person around.
The assistant rings up the sale and says, "That will be $25.50."
She says, "But didn't you say it was $20.00?"
"Yes ma'am, the rod and reel is $20.00, but the duck call is $3.00, and the
catfish stink bait is $2.50."
The first thing to have is a pair of polarized sunglasses.
This cut through the glare of the surface so you can see the bottom. Fishing the
flats or back country in the Florida Keys it is important to match
your bait to what you want to catch. With bait casting or light tackle the
bait should be live shrimp, unless your looking for permit than silver dollar
size crab is your best bait. There are two ways to fish the flats by wading or
off a boat. Most people who wade fish the flats are fishing for permit. Guides
know the best time and tide to fish for certain fish on the many different
flats. But don't let that stop you from grabbing you sun glasses and wading out
for a few cast when you have the time traveling down the Florida Keys or while
your in Key West.
