Gone Fishin on Xomba

Gone Fishin on Xomba

I've finished work for the day and I'm about to go fishing. My destination is at the edge of the Ocean. I'm about to board the Party Boat now and I brought along all my gear. In one hand my tackle box,in the other a new pole and some bait. The boat that I am about to board is docked in the marina. On the back of the vessel in blue letters, appears it's name Xomba.

By now I have already taken many trips and understand the rules and regulations of fishing on Xomba. Their is no admission's to ride and my fishing membership was free. I can bring along as many poles as I like as long as I use the right hooks and bait.

I am now boarding the boat and already have several poles positioned along the boat, nearly 200 now, some of them custom poles I made myself. While others are poles I picked up in my travels at a store or good tackle shop. There are thousands of poles already positioned along the boat, and currently 29 members who are already aboard.

The vessel is still quite new and was launched a few years back. It's Captain Nick, and Jeremy the Fist Mate are still present to oversea each voyage and always posting the newest rules and regulations to keep members up-to-date.

Before I became a member I well understood that I would share half my catch with the Captain and Crew. I still had my free cooler that I leave on the boat. Once the cooler is filled I will bring my catch home. I have baited many hooks and caught a lot of fish, some of them were small but others pretty big. It took close to 7 month's to fill my first cooler and about 6 month's for the second one. But this month it's filling up real darn quick. I've caught a lot of small Flounder, some Blue Fish and Tuna. I can't forget to mention theirs a fish finder on the boat and you can check up to 200 lines yourself that you've already dropped in the water.

Well folks it's time to go fishing now and I can't wait to try out my new pole. Today I'm fishing for Marlin. So before I drop my line in the water I want to leave you with a few of my own definition's.

Thanks for the feedback

Glad you enjoyed it. I almost removed the def's but decided to keep them because of the ads. Most everybody here seemed to get it but the Newbies might not have understood it. Thrilled to get a comment on them never-the-less.
