Fishing Story


Early this September my grandpa and I went fishing. We were fishing for some pink salmon. After getting our fishing licenses we set out to go fishing at Bush Point. We got to the beach at 3:00 p.m. After about 20 casts I had a bite, my adrenaline started pumping I was reeling the fish in as fast as I could. When the fish came out of the water it was a small 7 inch long Saltwater Catfish. My grandpa let the Small Catfish of the hook. Early that same morning my grandpa and I were at the beach and saw a man on the dock catch a nice salmon off the dock. He caught it by the tail and had to let it go. A couple of minutes later My grandpa had a fish on his hook. He reeled the fish in and, it was a Catfish. It was very disappointing that day to go home without any fish. The next morning we were up early and looking forward to catching a big salmon. Again, after along day of fishing we came up empty handed. Our very last day of fishing was the day before school started. It was our last chance to catch a salmon. We were about ready to go when my grandpa felt a strong tug on the line. He reeled the fish in real. I was so happy to see a fish on the line . It turned out to be a Saltwater Catfish. A big one, but we let it go. Overall my grandpa and I fished for 11 hours. I was so discouraged. but this October i'm going salmon fishing again.

That sounds really disappointing. Not a single salmon. When I was in the Yukon, I went fishing for grailing. Have you ever gone fishing for grailing? Well, best of luck on your next fishing trip!

Man that really sucks Andrew. Fishing sounds like a hard past time since you didn't catch a single salmon. I've never gone fishing so i wouldn't know if its fun or not. did you like going fishing with your grandpa? You seem to like to catch a lot of catfishes. OK i will talk to you later bye!
