Today I went fishing with my friends Ethan and Adam, near Ethan's house. At the beginning, we took a short drive to the place we were going to fish. We set up our rods and reels and we put on some bait, which was silversides, squid and live shrimp. Not long after we started, we began catching fish. Ethan and Adam both caught jacks. Then, Ethan's brother Zac caught a grunt. We were fishing for a long time after that without catching anything - until I had a bite! It was fighting hard but I managed to catch it. It was a jack! Later on, Zac and Ethan both caught puffers.
We were running out of bait, so Ethan's dad said that the next fish anybody would catch, we would use as bait. Then Adam caught a grunt, but he forgot that we would use it as bait, and he accidentally let it go. Shortly after, Ethan caught his last fish, a grunt, which we used as bait. Using the grunt as bait, I caught a jack. In the end, Ethan caught 4 fish, I caught 3, and Adam and Zac caught 2 each.
It was a lot of fun fishing with my friends and I can't wait to do it again!
Today I went fishing at Haulover Park right next to the marina that I went on with my friends for my party. At the beginning of the day, it was very windy. I saw 16 fish swarming after my bait but they never bit the hook. I got my hook stuck a few times and I broke the line. I went to say Hi to Alex and show him my fishing supplies and he said how strong my rod and reel were and he even supplied me with more fishing equipment! I went back to the ledge and the fish kept stealing my bait. I had a little bit left but finally while I was using Zadie's rod and reel and Zadie was putting on the sinker and hook on my rod, I had a bite! The fish was tugging hard but I caught it! It was a Slippery Dick, a type of parrot fish! I unhooked it and I threw it back. I tried to catch at least one more fish but they didn't bite. After that I went kite flying and when I got out of the car, I found a worm bait and a dime! I had fun flying a kite. When we were done with kite flying, I went to see if the Mucho K was still there. It wasn't there but a hook on the floor was! I picked it up and I went home. What a day!
For a few months now, I have been looking forward to taking some of my friends on a fishing boat for my birthday. I looked at a LOT of websites to see which boat I wanted to go on. Finally, I chose the Kelley Fleet, which docks in Haulover Marina. I met with the captain's mate, Alex, and he is such a great guy, that he even let me catch the biggest fish I ever caught! It was a 40 pound tarpon! That is why I decided to choose his boat, the Mucho K.
This morning, some of my best friends - Eitan, Ethan, Adam, Boris and Zach - met me at the dock, and together with Dad and Zaide we were on our way!
It was really windy and the boat was rocking A LOT but we still had fun fishing! We were using ballyhoo as bait so we were going for kingfish. Not long after we started, I had a bite! I was reeling it in as fast as I could, wondering what I caught. When I pulled it up, I was excited to see that I had caught a 6 pound kingfish! It turns out that this was the only fish anyone in my group caught today. Even though we didn't catch any more fish, it was still a lot of fun to be out with my friends. And like Alex said, the name of the game isn't "catching," it's "fishing." :)
The only bad part of the trip was that two of my friends got sea sick, because of all the rocking. I felt bad for them, but they were all better by the time we were heading back to the dock. You can see in the pictures, we all had a great time!
Today I went across the street of my house with Zaide and my brother Jacob. At first, only little fish were nibbling but soon, a puffer fish came and bit the hook! I was fighting it with Jacob and we caught it! Jacob's first fish! Later we had a fish that kept stealing our bait. We kept trying to catch it and finally we did! It was a pin fish! Next we caught a decent size fish that Jacob threw back. Then we caught the same kind of of fish and threw that back, too. Later we had the line in the water for a very short time and a puffer fish bit the hook! I was struggling to catch it and I sometimes tried to hold the two parts of the rod together and finally I caught it! It was huge! After the huge puffer fish, I kept on putting the line in the water and some fish kept biting the bait off. I wanted revenge. I kept trying to hook it on and finally I did! It was a grunt! After all those fish, we went home. What a fun day!
Today I went fishing with Zaide and my cousin, Benjamin, who went fishing for his first time. Once we started the ride, the boat was rocking. We paid five dollars to enter a tournament to catch the biggest fish. We didn't win, but we got close. First Benji and Zaide caught a blue runner. That was Benji's first fish! Then, I caught a squirrel fish. The next stop Benji caught a grunt and I caught another squirrel fish. The next stop, Benji caught another blue runner and I had a fish that was so heavy that I could berely hold up the rod. It was a beautiful porkfish. Next stop, Benji caught a squirrel fish and I had a very strong fish. When I reeled it up, I saw that there were 2 fish on the line! They were both trigger fish! Next we went back to shore. What a fun day!
Today I went fishing with Zaide and my little brother Jacob, who has been waiting his whole life to go fishing with me. At the beginning of the trip I used shrimp as bait. I did a couple of casts but I didn't get anything.
But all of the sudden, I had a nibble and straight away I had a bite! Since I could see through the water I could see it was a grouper! I was trying to fight it with Jacob, the more I tried to hook it more I lost it. We didn't catch anything the rest of the trip but we still had fun.
