Don't talk to a man who's fishing...
Readers,
I know it’s been a while since I’ve written, but whatever right? What are a few months between friends? Anyway, it’s almost summer and I was planning on doing one, very important activity: Fishing. Ever since the dawn of time, man has been perfecting the act of catching dinner on a measly line and bent wire. But as man progressed, the fish actually adapted to our catching them; even if they’re not very bright. *cough cough* back to the point. The reason fishing is named so is because the act of catching fish is harder than catching a ball. Fish have learned to be cautious about what they put into their mouths. That’s why Fishing isn’t called ‘catching’ and catching isn’t called ‘balling’ (by the way, that’s what she said). Any angler knows that the “old’ reliable” rig to catch fish would be hook, line, and sinker. But most people like to put a spin on it by adding, well, a spinner. Spinners would be a rounded out piece of shiny metal attached to a three pronged hook and pulled through the water to simulate a swimming minnow or something. Anyway, this is all besides the point that almost everybody in Livonia Stevenson High school thinks that fishing is boring! I beg to differ that fishing is a way to connect with nature, and a reason to get the hell out of the house. But the best part is the fighting of the fish
Many beginning anglers usually set the drag on high; this in turn makes the fight very short and not very fishing like (boring). Therefore, when you go to buy your first rod, try and get one that has drag control, it’ll make your experience worthwhile. Next, look for a place to actually catch fish, whether it a pond, lake, stream, river, ocean, it doesn’t matter! Be sure to check the forecast before you go, here’s a link to a page on when to fish for, well, fish. There are also many types of live bait you can use. Be sure to check with local authorities on what types of bait are allowed in certain areas.
Well, that’s all for me today. Yes I know that it wasn’t very good. I’m not one of those people who want things ‘perfect’. Just skip it okay? TTFN!
