Fishing for Friendship

Hopefully it's ok for me to join!


He sat down a little further along the beach, watching a pool of water that looked darker than the rest. It looked as if there was a shelf-like area under the water where the sand beneath dipped down and created a deeper area. He'd chosen this area to fish, hoping that the patch of deeper water would attract larger fish than he had been able to catch with his rod earlier that day. Gideon wasn't unhappy to have the littler fish now, though - it had been a little depressing to pull up one little one after another - as he realized that he could use the smaller fish as bait to catch even bigger ones.


A tug on his line brought a grin to his face. The idea had worked! He yanked up harshly on his home-made rod, feeling a heavy weight on the other end of it. "Wooo!" Gideon yelled, beginning to back up a bit from the cliff. He'd gotten something...but what was it? He could see a bit of silver on the end of the line, which excited him. Before long he had the long silver fish up on the shore, and it flopped about in distress for a few moments as he caught his breath and relaxed. After a few moments he took the hook out of its mouth, leaving it a ways behind him as he began to re-bait his hook.
