Fishing Gear

Several weeks ago, I started fishing at a neighborhood pond.  The first time I went, all I had was a stick (pole), floss (line), a bent earring (hook), and some cheese (bait).

After (finally) finding a real hook on the dock, my sister and I caught two fish.  When we told our dad about our little adventure, he decided we needed the proper gear if we were to do real fishing, so he gave us two poles and a small tackle kit.

Our hot pink pole.

Tackle box.

It came with weights, hooks, bobbers, a stringer, and a lure.

My trusty "turtle" multi-tool.

It's a six-in-one: pliers, flathead screwdriver, file, Phillips screwdriver, knife, and key chain.

I used this glove the first time a caught a fish without my dad.  I don't use them any more though. ;D

And there's me with my first catch! (note the floss and stick!)
