The trouble with my tackle box
Is a vexing one to me
Hooks and sinkers,
Swivels and lines
And lures like potpourri
Trays that flex above one another
A myriad supply within
Lures that float
Some that sink
Others with props that spin
And what is it that’s so attractive
When into the water it goes
A glitter or flash
A color or splash
In this, I say, who knows
But as the sun sets at the end of the day
And I reel-in that famous last cast
Knowing it’s a lie
As fishers, you and I
Just one more – I’m having a blast
The enthusiasm shines beautifully through!😊 ❤️

You should ask them if they like it and if they agree… That would be fun!

I too am a fisher person. I too know the sadness that comes when you reach that last cast. I keep searching my tackle box for just the right lure to draw the fish from their slumber. I find that using bright lures on sunny days and dark ones on cloudy does the trick. But I find I must be in the correct spot to find that which I seek.

I love to fish and have my entirel life. It’s hard being away from salt and brackish water where I spent my first 43 years, but what do you do? You catch Stripers and Wipers and Walleye… Ha

Yeah, and once in a while what appears to be a large SUCKER…. Darn things always seem to know when you’re about to set the hook and spit it right back at you. You know what those are surly? Being a fisherman and all. Anyway, don’t want to give too much away.. hehehehehe Wouldn’t you agree? Enjoy the cold there in Indiana wink, wink… Stay warm I hear the birds can get really hungry in that weather.. OOOps did it again I keep getting those two confused! Dang, Oh Well until next time!!

“last cast” really means the mosquitoes are too bad or all flashlight batteries are dead; then get another nibble…
