Narrative About Fishing

Improved Essays
I thought that this day of fishing would be like every other; I get lots of practice casting but I catch nothing. This day turned out to be a whole lot different however.

The lake we were fishing at in Bruneau Sand Dunes, Idaho has bluegill, catfish, and large mouth bass. I got taken out on a small kayak with my brother and an experienced fisherman named Kevin Schroeder, I had never caught any kind of fish before, and he devoted much of his time to help me land my first one.

Throughout the next couple hours I reeled in one small bass. Apparently I have a very good sense of direction because I was maneuvering the boat most of the afternoon, and everyone caught fish in the spots I picked out. It was beginning to get dark and we were about ready

    So what could have happened is used a fish finder to see what i was fishing over. Some errors are that brush, rock, or grass were not target as much as i should. The data did not support the hypothesis because the hypothesis stated that the smaller the top water lure the more fish the will catch, and that was not the outcome. The predicted results were that the smaller the lure would get more hits but what the experiment showed that the bigger the lures got more strikes. The whopper plopper had 7 strikes per day (which was the biggest lure) the popper had 6.6 on average (which the popper was the smallest lure) and bothe the spook and the buzzbait had under 5 strikes a day.…

    Duck hunters are still finding it slow in November, but there has been slight improvement in the Public Shooting areas.

    Boating down the Wabash River near Lafayette on July 16, I witnessed firsthand the broad, winding river’s scenic beauty, but also got a lesson in the environmental challenges the river faces when two Asian carp hurled themselves out of the water and landed in our boat. The Wabash is Indiana’s iconic river and inspiration for our state song, yet in recent years two species of invasive Asian carp have infested portions of it. These voracious non-native fish consume nutrients in the water, disrupting the food chain and threatening the native fish enjoyed by Hoosier anglers and sportsmen. At the sound of outboard motors, groups of Asian carp will jump out of the water and can injure boaters.…
