This is my post for #freewriters 2229 prompt imagine new worlds hosted by @mariannewest and @daily.prompt

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, even though it is almost over. I have had a long day and I am just now getting on the computer.

Today was the first day that we could go fishing since my husband had a good catch because of the weather. we woke up this morning and my husband was sick so he did not go fishing.

I put my boat in at Donald McDonald and headed for Long Point, not seeing anything I went to the North Bar of the Inlet. On my way there, I skipped a pompano in 7 feet of water. I knew better but anchored anyway. I got two of my 6 rods out and had 3 catfish. I took them off, pulled my anchor, and went on to the North Bar.

I anchored on top of the Bar and caught on throwing off the edge, I moved to the north and anchored but did not catch any. So I went back to where I caught the one but anchored more in the deeper water. I sat there for almost an hour and was thinking of moving when I caught another one.

Next, I went to the Middle Bank, I caught this remora, it must have been on a pretty big shark. I caught another pompano and as I was trying to get it to the boat, another rod was bending with one on it. I ended up getting both of them. I sat there for another hour and did not catch any more so I moved and caught one more.

I went back to the North Bar and skipped one, I anchored and the catfish were bad, three at a time. By now my back is hurting, my hand is hurting and now one of my knees is hurting.

I figured that I had enough and headed back to the boat ramp. I was thinking that I do not need to imagine new worlds because that is what we already live in. This world is so far from the world I grew up in and more than half of my adult life.
