Fishing is where people (usually old men) go sit by some water and then use really long poles to try and catch little animals called fish. Well, that's the idea anyway...
Dad and Tom have their own club called the Green Lanes Fishing Club (G.L.F.C) which at the moment is just the two of them, and if I'm honest I can't see many other people joining their club anytime soon. Well, not unless they like not catching fish as that's their speciality!
We were down by the canal near a placed called Tottenham Hale which is not far from our house. As we live in a big city dad and Tom usually have to do something known as' urban fishing' because there aren't many lakes or rivers nearby. Now the problem with this is that they usually end up fishing out old bits of chair and rubbish rather than any actual fish. When they do catch some fish they're usually tiny and wouldn't even be enough to fill up my tummy!
Although we didn't catch anything we still had a great time and I think that's actually the best thing about fishing; you get to hang out with your friends and just relax. Check out a picture of me, dad and Tom doing exactly that...

I don't think you always have to catch fish for fishing to be worthwhile. Dad says that sometimes in life it's the challenge or struggle that's the most rewarding bit, rather than the end result. I think I'll remember that for when I'm older.
Thanks dad, mum and godfather Tom for a cool afternoon. I can't wait to get a rod of my own when I'm old enough - then I'll show you oldies how it's done!
Phoenix Love.
