Fishing, it's lots of fun. There are downsides; not catching any fish, not being able to cast with a real rod and real, having a chapped face from zooming across the water with the cold air beating your fat cheeks. It is my belief that the upsides far out weigh the downsides. The thrill of the hunt, the excitement of getting your line caught in a tree, and on a good day the joy of actually hooking a fish.

I have grown up fishing. My Grandma lives on a small lake and from an early age I have been casting my line into the lake and catching perch or bass. One time when I was six I caught and eight lbs bass. It was pretty awesome. This past summer I learned a new kind of fishing. I learned how to jug fish. It is amazing. You get a bunch of bottles or sealed pvc pipe, tie a hook, and bait. Then you throw it into the lake, watch it float, and when a fish gets hooked you chase it down and pick it up.

This weekend, I learned a new way to fish. I am not sure how to spell it but it is called trolling. You get some poles, bait them, drop them in the water, let it trail behind the boat. You drive the boat at a slow rate and wait for a fish to get hooked and real it in. If the fish are biting this can be a very productive way to catch them because you can have as many lines in as you have poles.

Unfortunately, the fish were not biting this morning because it was very foggy. We did catch six fish and I was able to reel in two of them. I really did like fishing even though we didn't get much. It was very relaxing and I look forward to doing it again.
