From time to time I entertain myself by writing song parody's with a fishing bent...this one is more a saga for the numerous friends and family I have taken to the Peninsula only to return without so much as getting to wet a line...

To the tune of AC/DC's 'Shot Down in Flames':

Out on the Pen, looking for a steelie
Gonna get me hooked up
Then the clouds came and hung over me
And began to dump
So I sat there and moaned and thought about the weather
and said isn't this f***in swell
I said, once again I have rolled the dice
And wound up in rainy Hell.........

Shot down by rain
Shot down by rain
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down by rain

Find a bar, try to find a honey
but there's aren't any there
So we buy some beer
and head to the forest
I really don't care, no
Said buddy, this is drivin me crazy
We came out here to wet a line
Then my buddy gets a chip on his shoulder says
This happens nearly every time, doh!

Shot down by rain
Shot down by rain
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down by rain

It's hard to go wrong when you start with THAT material.

But can ya play it like Angus?

If I spent like a year trying to learn it...

..but I could keep the beat like Phil tomorrow...

stlhdh2o,
Nice tune that you came up with there, It seems that when I take people out there that same thing happens to us, thats why I seem to go alone alot. The old saying "hot as a pistol yesterday" always comes to mind. Hopefully it works out for you and your people next time.

Nothing better than starting your day fishing than playing a little "AC/DC"

That song was the first thing I thought of when I saw your thread title......If only Weird Al Yankovic had been an angler, we'd have a million of these fishing song parodies with the videos to go with 'em!
