Notes About The Poem

When I go trout fishing I use a variety of different baits, depending on what kind of trout I am fishing for. (Rainbow, Brown or Brook). My top bait is usually Salmon eggs. You can get many different kinds of salmon eggs, like garlic & shrimp scented and many different colors as well. I always take some of the juice that comes in the jar of garlic eggs and dip whatever bait I'm using into it, it works like a charm!

Garlic Gook

It was 4:00am when I woke up 
To go fishing for some trout 
I packed my gear and tied some fly's 
before I headed out
 
When I got down to the river 
About a quarter after six 
All by myself, a perfect time 
To use my fishing tricks
 
I reached inside my vest 
And grabbed a little weight 
And I stuck it on my fishing line 
Twelve inches from my bait
 
Then I took a piece of orange thread 
And I tied it to my hook 
Then I scented it with my antidote 
Of garlic flavored gook
 
I caught a lot of fish today 
I must have caught about fifty 
So now you know my secret bait 
Use garlic gook, it's nifty!

G'day Charles … a real learning curve for me, although some use cheese as bait, not sure if it's for trout though. I never thought any fish had a penchant for garlic - thanks Charles - Lindsay

I love freshly caught fish and sure wish I could have some of that trout! Well I guess I'll just have to learn how to fish! :-) I enjoyed reading this fishy (lol) poem with its practical tips on how to catch more fish with the right bait! Well done, Charlie! Hugs and best regards. Pandita

Thanks Mick, it works like a charm! It will be Father's Day here in the U.S. tomorrow. I don't know if it is in the UK but even if it isn't, what the heck...Happy Father's Day! Charlie

You also taught me something Paris-Maree, I didn't know garlic was good for colds (lol) I'll try it next time, hopefully not for a while. :)

sure made me smile Charles, I guess they don't need much extra seasoning when you cook them - thanks for the reminder I've just run out of garlic today - for cooking not fishing lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Boys, sorry, I meant men, hubby and pal. Brought me the most beautiful big rainbow trout last time they were out. Though my step sons are men now. ;)
