A Tribute to Smithville Lake, Missouri


Cold water at Smithville’s callin’
And I’m sick and tired of stallin’
Christmas Crappie wrapped in a bow!
Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

The crappie bite was fantastic
On chartreuse and white soft plastic
There’s a 9 inch length limit, so….
I let ‘em go! Let ‘em go! Let ‘em go!

Now the crappie.com folks say
That there’s limits of fish to be caught
Where are all those big fish today?
In my livewell, you’ll see I’ve got naught!

The bite is slowly dying
And I’ve got no fish for frying
So back in the lake they go
To let ‘em grow! Let ‘em grow! Let ‘em grow!

An Ode to Wiskers, a CDC Kentucky Lake Legend! (to the tune of Frosty the Snowman)

Wiskers the fisherman, you're a happy jolly soul
with a decked out boat, and a ZEBCO reel, and a BnM fishin pole.

Wiskers the fisherman, can spin a tall tale they say
He knows where to fish, and the Crappie know he'll be catchin them some day.

There must have been some magic in that ZEBCO reel he used
For when he placed it on the pole, all his buddies were amused

Oh Wiskers the fisherman was as skilled as he could be
and his friends all say, he can laugh and play, and catch more than you or me

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Feel them big slabs bite
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Wiskers is eatin filets tonight!

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a safe and happy New Year!!!

T’was The Night Before Fishing
By
Michael C. Carter
“Shipahoy 41”
December 7, 2011


Twas the night before fishing
And I couldn’t sleep
Crappies were biting
And brush piles were deep
My rods were all stacked
In the boat with great care
As the smell of fresh water
Drifted up in the air

The wife was all snuggled
Upstairs in her bed
I tiptoed out slowly
And not a word was said
I grabbed me some frog togs
And a skull cap too
And prepared to go fish
With just me and just you

Then out in the boat
There was a big noise
I jumped from my chair
To see my three boys
They were jumping up and down
On the brand new boat seat
Looking up in the sky
Seeing Santa was neat!

A little old man
Real fast and real quick
Had brand new rods
Said “Just take your pick”
He had to turn fast
He was running late
He’d been fishing too
And they all took his bait

He had a red suit
He was chubby and fat
Jingle bells were ringing
And he almost dropped his hat
His eyes they did twinkle
He had a nose like a cherry
One thing I noticed
His hands were real hairy

He didn’t speak again
But finished his work
Then grabbed his sleigh ropes
And gave them a jerk
“Now Dasher, Now Dancer
And you Rudolph too
Get a move on
We got more work to do”

We looked in the sky
We watched him leave
Stars under his sleigh
On this Christmas Eve
We jumped in the boat
Just the boys and their dad
This was the best Christmas Eve
That they really ever had

I heard him exclaim as he roared out of sight
Crappie.com is the worlds best fishing website santa

if it was not for Crappie.com i would not have the honor to share this poem it was sent to me via Email from a former moderator and a friend for sure!!!i wish ya'll all a Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Poem
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.

I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.

I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.

NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.

WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.

FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.

THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.

THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.

WAS THIS THE HERO
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?

I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.

SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.

THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.

I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.

THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.

THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
'SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;

I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS.'

THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.

I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.

THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, 'CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE.'

ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
'MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,!
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.'

This poem was written by a Marine.The following is his request. I think it is reasonable.....



PLEASE. Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men,women, and Canadian Forces for our being able to celebrate these festivities.
Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we
owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this small seed
