Creative Writing About Fishing

I was excited! We were on vacation in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, and were ready to do some fishing. We arrived at the marina and were introduced to our captain for the day. I had never gone fishing in the ocean before. My dad, my sister, my two brothers and I were going on the four hour trip. We were all pretty pumped up and ready to hit the water. We finally boarded the small boat and headed out of the marina. I was excited!

We were fishing in the harbor so the waves were calm. We had several poles in the water with a chunk of Blue Crab on the end of each one. Suddenly, we heard the screeching drag of one of the poles, the line was being yanked out and being taken away by some creature in the harbor. I was excited. I grabbed the pole

We noticed that the sky was turning a grayish color but ignored it. Our new location was along reeds and there was a small dock nearby. We were targeting a fish called Red Drum but it was more commonly known as “Redfish”. This type of fish was some that we could actually take home and eat!

The rain pelted us as we rode back with our heads ducked so that we would not be slapped by the large drops. However, our safety was more important. So we endured the rain that felt more like hail all the way back to the marina.

Fishing the previous day was pretty fun. It was more like a blast. We decided that we wanted to go a second time. This time the forecast looked promising and the day was beautiful. However, this time it was just my two brothers and I. At the hotel, we loaded up our stuff, got in the van, and drove to the marina. At the marina, we met our new captain and said good-bye to the rest of the family. The captain was very kind and helpful. I was sure that today was going to be a good day for fishing. I was excited. I really wanted to hook into a shark. We got into the boat and left the
