Life is short! Try new things!

I went FISHING! Ahhh! It was an experience that I will never forget.

I went fishing with my dad and his coworkers. The boat left from City Island and went out to long Island Sound. I'm so proud of myself because I pushed myself to try something new. Even though I'm a girlie girl, I love a good adventure.

I'm not a pro, but I caught four fish. Yay me! For a first timer I must say that's pretty impressive :) Below are my fishing tips.

Fishing Tips by Nikki B:
 -Bait: A nice long juicy worm attracts fish. Be sure to have lots and lots of worms.One person needs at least two pounds worth of worms.
How to hook a fish: Take your worm and wrap it around your hook several times. Don't have the worm hanging. The fish will eat the worm without getting hooked.
- Patience: Don't expect to get a fish right away. It may take hours before you catch a fish. Keep calm and stay positive.
- Have Fun: When planning a fishing trip, be sure to go with a group of people that you know will make the trip fun and lively. Pack food, beer, wine etc to help create a relax environment.
