Freezing Weather, Good Fishing

By Connor

I went to a fishing match at Barth Pond one day. We were told the match was at 5:30. We got there at about that time but only one guy was there. He said he wasn’t from the Midwest Anglers Club so he wasn’t the guy we were looking for so we decided just to fish.

As we were coming home we saw two guys unpacking a load of things and they were from the Midwest Anglers Club. There was John, Art, and some other guy. We were told that they would be selling a 1000 maggots for something dollars. But, unfortunately they weren’t. Then we had to go find a bait shop but we couldn’t.

Then we come back and John saves the day. He sold us some maggots to use.

We started fishing and John hooks into a carp. At the of the match I had 36 fish,and who knows what the other people had. Of course they forgot the scale so there was no way to judge the match. We decided to keep fishing for fun and the first bite I had was my first shiner.

At the end of the day I had a bag of 73 fish.
