 I went on a fishing trip last summer. We went all the way to Cougar Creek near Gold River it’s about a five hour drive in a car to the fishing spot. It was so long I started to get car sick. I was thinking about last year when I caught a huge thirty six pound fish I was hoping I would get one even bigger even know that the thirty six pound fish was huge! When we got there it was late afternoon. Later that night we went fishing.

 It was pouring rain with thunder and lightning it was really rough so we had to go in because it’s not safe when your in the ocean when there’s lightning. It’s not safe because there is nothing higher than you in the ocean so it will hit the highest thing either you or your boat. If it hit you, you would probably die. If it hit your boat your boat would sink.

 In the morning we got up really early and went strait out in the boat fishing. I was pretty tired. From about six thirty to seven we caught four fish! The bite was on! but I lost two and caught two. I felt proud of myself. They were huge salmon. One was twenty-two pounds and the other was twenty-five pounds! I felt like a really good fishermen.

 After we caught those salmon we went later and caught another it was a bit smaller than the others but it was a fighter. when it came up to the top of the water it went strait down the side of the boat like a rocket. I thought we were going to loose it I was really worried my legs were shaking but after it did all that work it was tired so we netted it easily. I felt really great when it was in the net. We went back to the camp site after. At the campsite we checked out the creek it was the most beautiful creek our river I’ve seen. It had nice light colored rocks and the water was coming down the rocks like a waterfall.  A couple of people were swimming in it. I thought it was way too cold.   

 In the morning we went home because we caught enough of fish for one trip. When I was going home I was thinking about how I didn’t catch a bigger fish than last year and I really wanted to stay and catch more fish but I couldn’t so I said to myself I will have to wait till next year.

 Do you have any fishing stories? Have you ever went fishing? Did you catch anything?   Picture by: Slappy Jones

Remembrance Day is not like any regular day

People remember the souls

Who died fighting for you

Many countries fail on a war tale

Wear a big red poppy

That copies the memory

Of the people who fought day after day for peace.

Soldiers die daily and nightly

Where do they stay and lay after they die?

Flanders field is where soldiers

Lay from ends of wars to today

It is the most beautiful field of all

Poppies place to place

Wherever you look

Remember to think of the soldiers and tears

From the people who were loved that died from mad and sad wars

All for PEACE!

 Guess what our class did? We went to see the Olympic Torch! We saw it at Lewis Park there was a lot of people to see the Olympic Torch. We all got too have free pop. Everyone made alot of noise when the Olimpic Torch was coming.

  I was so exited to see the Olympic Torch. I could barly see it when it was on stage. Once it got off of the stage I got to touch the Olympic Torch! Everyone was crowding around it. It felt really smooth I felt like a superstar. I would of loved to be one of the people to run with the torch. Before this I never saw the Olympic Torch. Seeing the Olympic Torch is like a once in a lifetime chance.  Have you ever seen the Olympic Torch or have you touched it before? What did you feel like? Here is an picture of the Olympic Torch.

I recommend to read a series called Goosebumps. If you like scary kinds of books Goosebumps are really good books. The last Goosebumps book I read was Horrorland. It was a really scary amusement park with many scary rides. One of the rides was the room of mirrors. They got lost inside and the walls started collapsing in. Read the book to find out what happens. I’ve only started reading Goosebumps but I all ready love them. What books do you like to read? This is the book cover of the book I’m reading.

Full grown sharks are about three or four meters long. There weight is three hundred fifty to nine hundred kilograms. They have ten to eighty two pups. The young sharks are only fifty to seventy five centimeters they start to get bigger slowly. Tiger sharks stop growing  at five years old. They live to twelve years old.

 When Tiger Sharks hunt they hunt in shallow waters. Tiger sharks are usually in deeper waters. Sharks will ambush sea birds on the top of the waters. They have sharp teeth to saw through sea turtle shells. They will also be found in reefs. They are one of the only kind of shark that will try eat dead animals. They will eat almost anthing. Tiger sharks are called the garbage disposals.

I love carving my pumpkin I like carving scary faces. What kind of faces do you carve on your pumpkin? If you don’t do good at carving keep trying  you will start to get better.

Do you like going on trips because I love too. The only place I’ve been in a airplane is Mexico. I went with my whole family. When I went there I went snorkeling  and swimming lots.
