RDP Sunday: fishing

Written for RDP where drkottaway asks us
to get creative with the word “fishing”.

Bill & his catch, a keeper flounder

It doesn’t take much to get my husband to agree to go fishing, especially when the grandkids ask to go out on the boat. Bill’s been fishing all his life, since he was old enough to hold a rod and not get yanked overboard! He loves being on the water and is an excellent angler. I especially like the times Bill would bring home his catch of the day, all cleaned and ready for me to cook. That doesn’t happen often these days since the laws for keeping fish have become much more stringent and it’s mostly “catch and release”. Still, fishing for Bill is a time to relax on the water, enjoy nature, and try to psyche out the fish!
