People say that old man men only seek fishing when they feel lonely. I don’t agree. After all I am not old, I like fishing best. My school works stand in my way, so I could find time for going fishing only on the weekends. During holidays, of course, when the weather is fine nothing pleases me more than fishing. I have a special hat, a small fishing basket and my favorite fishing rod. I purchase the necessary worms in the market and put them in the basket. Usually I start after breakfast.
