Personal Essay: The Fishing Trip I Will Never Forget

742 Words3 Pages

The Fishing Trip I Will Never Forget About eight hundred miles north of Kansas City lies a Little Shabby Lake in Ontario, Canada spanning seven miles and home to a small two-bedroom cabin on the lakefront. During the spring and summer months, many fishing enthusiasts venture out to stay in the cabin and go fishing for many days at a time. For those people who travel there the only way in and out of the lakefront is a prop plane that lands and takes off on the lake. This means no access to stores, Internet or cable while visiting the lake for a stay. Luckily, there is one form of communication while visiting that the outfitters give visitors. This is a satellite phone to have available in emergencies. But for me I enjoyed this trip greatly. …show more content…

We only had about a ten minute drive to the outfitter were we put our gear in the plane. The plane we boarded happened to be an eight-passenger prop plane. As we boarded the plane we still had 100 miles north to go on the plane tell we landed on Little Shabby Lake to stay for 5 days. After about an hour plane ride, we finally landed on the lake. I was so astonished about the breathtaking scenery of the bright green trees and woodlands. Making it to our destination and unloaded the plane of all of our equipment and clothing. Knowing this would be the start of fun time fishing before we headed back home to Kansas City, we got straight to the Boat to waste no time. For The next 5-day days while on the lake we did many things such as eating, sleeping, playing cards and fishing. For the Majority of the trip we spent about 6-8 hour days fishing. While fish we primarily caught two different types of fish walleye and northern pike weighing about 3-15 pounds. But When we came in from fishing every day we would make a big dinner and follow it of by playing a game of cards and having a fun tell it got dark outside. Eventually our 5 days came to an end, I was not leave just yet. But unfortunately we had to pack up and head back home to Kansas

    It was a fantastic experience that you would not experience fishing in California. The fish are tough to pull in when you’re only 8, you just reel it in and fight as hard as you can to try and keep hold of the pole. Then when you finally win the battle and have the fish in the boat the feeling is amazing, you are surprised you accomplished it and anxious to eat it later in the day. Later that year, I asked my grandpa to take me fishing for my birthday, and we had an amazing time.
