How to go fishing
The first thing you do is to get your fishing license.
Make sure it is a warm, sunny day, no rain in sight.
You have to have insect repellent and sunscreen with you.
You must have a fishing poles and a tackle box.
You need the right kind of bait; it can be live or artificial.
Next you need water; it can be a lake, a river, or even a small stream.
You will need to take along food and drinks for when you get hungry or thirsty.
You need to have on comfortable shoes and clothing in case you might have to walk in the water or up and down the banks of the stream.
To have protection from the sun, you also need a hat and sunglasses.
The most important thing you need is to make sure ....you hold your mouth right, so that you do not get skunked.
Every spring or early summer my husband and son get ready to go fishing. I don’t know which one gets the most excited about it. It is a special time for them; doing something that both of them enjoy. They get up early and leave, and are gone until late in the afternoon or longer. My son got started fishing when he was two years old. He has the first big fish that he caught when he was only two and a half years. The fish weighed two and a half pounds and was mounted and is hanging in my living room now. This is their favorite time of year, to walk up and down the Rockcastle riverbanks. Some children like to play ball, but not my son give him a fishing pole any day over a football.
