Fishing Jokes....

[AndrewT]

Dear All,

I recently wrote, some 'nonsense', on a Range Of Subjects- one of which was Fishing. So here are, some more, Fishing Jokes.......

A 'Fishing Bailiff' is on Patrol, one day, by a Popular Stretch of river. As he approaches a man, very quickly reels In his line, packs up his 'Stuff' and starts to Make Haste up the Towpath. The Bailiff gives chase but the man is Fast, so it is some considerable minutes before he finally 'Chases Him Down'. To his amazement, the man, Produces a Full Fishing Licence- Valid All Areas. "If you have a 'Licence' Sir, why did you Run?" asked the confused Enforcer. "Well you see" begins the man "I have a Full Licence..... but no-one else does. Because I 'run' YOU chase ME, and Everyone Else gets away.... simple. I'm 'in' for a Nice Meal, at the Rose & Crown, for 'doing' this." explains the man happily.

This is true... years ago, when I was a Child (when Mc Donald's sold Bronto- Burgers, the 'kids' were involved in the Mammoth Hunt- for Sunday Lunch- yes a Long Time ago...) We had a river boat, up on The Ouse- in Cambridgeshire. One day, when we (my sister and me) were Fishing- the river was 'loaded' with Dace- my Father played a Prank. He took the Mooring Pole, attached the Rope to the 'rounded' end and then tied the Mooring Hook onto it. He then sat, on the Roof, and Dropped The Line In.... as if Fishing. The 'Looks' he got, from the passing boats, were Something Else!

It was Ogden Nash, who said, "There is a Thin Line, between Fishing... and standing, on a River Bank, looking like an idiot"

A man goes out Fishing, the whole day... Nothing, not even a 'sniff'. 'I Can't go back without a Fish' thinks the man 'I know... I'll BUY one, SHE will never know!' so this, the man does, before wrapping it in paper and giving it to his wife. "Was it Cold 'out' today Frank?" asked his wife, a short while later, "Yes a 'tad', I suppose, why?" replied the man. "It's just that This Fish Is FROZEN" replied Alice.

I think that that's enough Fishing Jokes... though if anyone wants to 'Drop Me a Line.....
