Introduction
Some people love to fish because they can catch REALLY BIG fish. Do you like to fish a lot? I do. You will have a really GREAT time. Do your brothers or sister like to fish? Or Mom or Dad? Mine do.
Getting Ready
To go fishing, you need to get your worms dug up. Then you need to get your boat unhooked from the truck to go down to the water, and so you don’t get wet. When I touched a worm once, it was very slimy.
Next, you need to go down to the river or wherever you are going to fish so you can catch it. Then when you get to the water, you need to get your boat in the water so you can go down the water. Next you need to get your pole and cast it way out, far out in the water so the fish will bite the hook. Last, when the fish bites, it will pull and tug a lot so hold onto your pole and wind it in fast so you can catch it.
Going to the River
First you need to get in the boat so you can go down the river. Next, you need to get the worm on the hook so the fish will bite it. Then you need to cast your line out in the water. i remember the very first time I put a worm on a hook, it was very slimy.
Almost Done
First, you need to hook on your boat and drive to your destination. Next, you need to check for your things and make sure you didn’t lose anything or dump your bucket of worms all over the place. Make sure your line didn’t snap!
Fishing
The first thing when fishing is you need to get a worm on your hook so you can catch some fish. Next you need to cast your hook and line out in the water so the fish will bite your hook. Then when the fish grabs the hook, you reel, or wind, it right back in very fast. Don’t forget to have fun fishing.
Waiting
First, you need to cast your pole out to the water so you can catch the fish. Next, you need to wind in your line so it will keep up with the boat. Then you wait for the fish to bite because that’s how you do it. Last, you can just sit there and watch the waves crashing everywhere.
Got It!
What you need to do is to get the fish in your boat. Then you need to let it flop around in the boat. Also, you will need to take the hook out of the fish’s mouth. Last you need to thump it with a big stick on a big board.
Winding in Fast
First, you need to wait for the fish to bite your hook so you can wind it in very fast. Then you need to reel it in so you can get the fish in on the boat. Finally, you need to get the fish on the boat.
Going Home
First, when you go home you need to get your boat out of the water so you can hook it on your truck. When I helped my dad put the boat on it was HEAVY! Next, you need to hook the boat onto your truck so you can go home. When I was going home, I was tired. Then you need to drive out of the area so you can get on the main road. If you don’t get on the main road, it’s going to be bad. Once on the road, drive all the way home. Make sure you have enough gas if you live far away. Once my dad didn’t know if we had enough gas and we almost ran out.
Home
First you need to unhook your boat so if you go to work or town. Once my dad went to work and the boat was still on. Next, you need to cut the fish so you don’t eat it with the skin on. Once my dad almost ate a raw fish. Then you need to take the fish inside so you can cook it. Last, you need to take the fish in and then you need to turn the stove on with a pan and then slap that fish on the pan and cook it. My dad always puts flavor in the fish when he cooks it.
Conclusion
Now that you learned all about fishing, you can just grab your pole and your bucket of slimies and head out of the house. You need to get ready, go to the river, get done, get in your boat, fish, wait, wind in fast, get it on, go home, and get home.
