Barnickle Bill the sailer
A year had past and it was time for the annual fishing trip along the sound in Long Island. With 4 hours of sleep we boarded the SS Minow at 6am. ten friends and family and 40 total strangers. after 1 hour of steddy sailing, the boat stopped and the whissel blew....time to fish. so many people found it dissasterous as they got their lines hooked to oneanother....constant screeming from those avid fisherman who put in their $5.00 for the pool, only to get their lines hooked to the guy on the other side of the boat. the Testosteron mounted throughout the day by the men who took this weekend like it was a sport. "i went last weekend and i caught a 12 pound flook"........
the early afternoon sun beat down on us while i already caught my 4th flook. it was great watching all the kids on the boat catch fish, of which were all keepers, while the die hard fisherman did not. tention mounted next to me from a father who spent $40.00 to fish for the day, not catch anything, while his son next to him, caught a bucket full and won the pool. he felt so unlucky that he traded places with his son thinking hed actually benifit. his son, next to me, said "you watch dad, wouldn't be funnt if i caught something at this place where you haven't all day?" sure enough, within 10 minutes he did and his dad just about punched his lights out.
then the frustration turned to anger as the next fish i caught was pulled up. the ship mate came over to take the hook out of his mouth. the fish had large teeth and it flapped spazstickly over the floor. he took his fist and punched it in the head as hard as he could. it stopped. when he threw it in the water (too small to keep) i asked him if he had killed it. "no just unconcious". yeah right, i didn't know blood shot out of the head when one goes unconcious. after that another guy who caught his 20th sea robin (not a fish you want to eat=poisonous) whipped out his long Crocodial dundie knife and stabbed it.....the ship mate came out and told him to chill out. another guy tried kicking a sea robin under the banister and into the water, but it got stuck. he kicked it until it passed through the narrow opening about 20 minutes later........
my father had a great time also. he caught a shark and an american flag......what a laugh..
all in all we spent $40.00 for the fishing trip, $10.00 on food, and $6.00 on beer........the look on the dye hard fisherman who caught nothing? priceless!!!!!!!
