728.0. "Catalogitis" by CASV05::PRESTON () Thu May 19 1988 15:28

 We're going for a week's vacation up to Winnipesaukee soon, with plenty of
 fishing planned, and of course, no vacation is complete without lots of
 anticipation. (..an-tis-i-pay-ay-shun...) BUT, I think I'm on the verge of
 catalog overkill... I've GOT to stop looking at all the lures in those
 catalogs - it's making me brain-numb. All that HYPE: fish catchin', bass
 bustin', rippin', rattlin' spittin' squirmin' wigglin', double-triple
 ripplin', cooked-in scent, tantalizing, provocative ("like a Turkish belly
 dancer", woo woo!), natural, unnatural, metal flake fire-tiger-coach-dog
 Tequila Sunrise Motor Oil (what?!), "soft juicy body" (juicy plastic?), 
 "guaranteed to whip ol' Bucketmouth into a FEEDIN' FRENZY" (like a shark?), 
 NEW!, IMPROVED!, *secret*, tastes great, and ...DEADLY!!! 

 Arrrrghh! Help! HELP!!! HEELLLPPP!!!!! It's driving me nuts! 
 
 If I keep this up, I won't be able to just "go fishing" any more, I'll have
 to grab my Two-fisted Bionic Hyper Uranium Whipsnake MegaRod with the 
 Ultra PRoMagnum Turbo Overdrive 22.6:1 Titanium/Graphite Baitslinger reel, 
 roll myself in Hawg Scent and transform magically into the Great American 
 Fisherman! THEN I can go JAW CRACKIN' FISH SMACKIN' and BASS BUSTIN'!!!! 
 IT'S WAR BETWEEN US AND THEM FISH!! TAKE NO PRISONERS!!! snort!
 
 Please practice catch and release... thank you...
 
 Ed
 
 Can you tell I need a vacation? I'll be all right after I catch one, any one.

   re .3

   Forget? FORGET!!?? I'm TRYING to forget ALL that JUNK!!!

   You read those catalogs long enough, and you start to believe
   you NEED all that stuff. You feel like you might miss out on
   "your lunker" if you don't get an assortment of Wally Bestmorton's
   Chub's Blub Silver Biddy Tri-Tail Wiggle Worm in all the new Hawg 
   Dazzlin' colors, or Sweatsock Duncan's Typhoon Wing-Banger and 90
   minute instructional video.  This is fishing?  Puh-leez!!! Gimme
   some air.

  (Maybe I could get a job naming all the sexy new products they
   come out with every year... hmmm, Triple Wiffle Lunker Missile?
   Samurai Salmon Slammer? Teeny Fat Wobblin' Zappin'...?)

   re .4  Yeah, I got the last one, just plain lucky I guess...

        Re: .4 
    
              Come on Nightcrawler you gotta show me how to beach 
              a boat on a lake when you got a depth finder!
              I will show you how to use the ultimate fish catchin
              lure that I designed myself called "The Butt Plug".
              By the by Nightcrawler I crawled out from under the
              rock that says 1620.This is how many bass I've caught
              so far this year.

    re: .6    YO KEG,
     
                          Sorry, my prop buzzing technique for attracting
    lunker Bass must remain a secret! It is costly (and loss of use
    of your boat for over a month is required) however results are
    incredible! I assume you developed your new plug in prison? Did
    a little time did ya? 1620 fish!? Only in your dreams! 
    
    Two weeks to the Middlesex News tourney on Lake Hopkinton! Anyone
    out there going? If so, I can't wait to take your money!!

              I knew he was talkin about you when he said "brain numb".
    
              Its the Middlesex news classic at Lake Whitehall in Hopkinton!!!!

    YO KEG,
             Since you know where it is I will assume you are entered.
    That is if you have figured out that complicated Fisher Price set
    up of yours...Remember, like I have told you each time you begged
    me for help, fishing is an aquired skill. You'll get there in several
    hundered years!

728.10PEPPERLEG SKIRT????PERFCT::WIERSUMThe Back Deck WizardThu May 26 1988 10:3414
    
    
    Ok the summer sale catalog got me again.......
    
    I only spent $44.00 honey!
    
    Can someone help me with:
    
    What is a PEPPERLEG SKIRT?
    
    And what the hell do you do with it?
    
    TBDW
    
728.11Metal munching moon fish?MJOVAX::OWENSOh sure...ABUSE THE ALIENThu May 26 1988 11:292
    Best definition I could get on pepperlegs is a skirt where the rubber
    legs contain metal flakes imbedded to give the illusion of scales.
728.12PERFCT::WIERSUMThe Back Deck WizardThu May 26 1988 14:149
    
    That may be true but if you look at the picture, they appear to
    be much different in shape than other skirts I have used or have
    seen.
    
    come on you BP fanatics

    
    
728.13VAX4::TOMASJoeThu May 26 1988 14:275
Purely a gimmick designed to catch BDWs!

"Ahhh, honey...ya know that $44.00?  It's just went to $100 cuz I needed a 
full supply of pepperlegs!"
