Angler
Hitty

My memories of "swimming with the fishes" after the terrible fire on
the Diana-Kate almost dissuaded me
from trying my hand at actually catching the slimy creatures, but I
remembered the lovely the
aroma of freshly cooked fish coming from the galley and yearned to
experience it once again.
Pat's daddy used to say "Fishing is a jerk at
one end of the line waiting for a jerk from the other".
I didn't really like the sound of that...I knew I wasn't a jerk!
But I was curious what the jerk on the other end of the line would be
like.
Once I caught my first fish, I knew then what
that jerk was all about! Such fun! I caught fish after fish
and now have plenty for a nice dinner. I think I'll take
them over to Racketty-Packetty House and see if I can pursuade Ridiklis
to cook them up for me.
