Fishing

Fishing

Today I woke up at 6.20am to go fishing.  I woke up Dad and he linked three hooks together because that’s what I saw other fishermen doing yesterday.  Then I got some white pilchards I had used yesterday (and got nothing) then I went to the jetty.  As soon as I got there I rigged my line with a whiting sinker, a rolling swivel, my linked hooks.  Then I put my pilchard on; I put one hook through the tail and one hook through middle, and one hook through the eye. Then I cast.  As soon as I dropped my bait into the water, I got a bite and I waited.  Then I felt a tug and a jerk.  I had a fish.  I reeled it in and it was a yellow tailed pike.  I waited some more as I could see other pike stealing my bait.  Then they were gone and I caught nothing, so I filleted it and it put its skeleton in the crab net.  Then I fried the fillets in butter and ate them with lime juice.
