The 12 Days of Fishing

By Staff

Franklin County Times
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me …
12 issues of Bassmaster Magazine
Eleven football jigs.
Ten packs of power worms.
Nine balsa crank baits.
Eight Lucky Craft lures.
Seven days of fishing (on Lake Okeechobee).
Six shiny spinner baits.
Five G-Loomis rods.
Four baitcasting reels.
Three spools of fluorocarbon.
Two Lowrance fish finders.
And a Bullet with a big'ol Mercury!
This year as you are spending time with family and friends, take a moment to remember the brave men and women who won't be home for Christmas because they are fighting to protect our freedom in other parts of the world.
I hope each one of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
