Hello, you are now reading my second post of my blog. 

In today’s entry I want to talk about the equipment you need to go fishing. of course I didn't know this myself so I asked my friends for some help. They told me an amateur fisher like me would only need a pole, a line, a hook a bobber and some bait. Luckily my dad once bought all of this equipment in a global sporting goods chain store called Decathlon. 

So now that I am all geared up, all I need is a fishing pond. Where to find fishing ponds? Easy, just try googling for them. I didn’t though, because I already knew some fishing ponds not that far away from my house. I wanted to try three spots. One in Herzele, my hometown. One in Erpe-Mere, called Steenberg. And last but not least I wanted to try catching some fish on the river Dender.

Before my friends would take me fishing they said I should make some goals for myself. Like that the fishing would be a little bit more interesting and challenging.

Now here’s a sum up of my goals;

•        Catch a fish in the pond in Herzele
•        Catch a fish on the Dender
•        Catch two fish in the pond in Erpe-Mere

With my equipment ready, my goals set and the locations known, I am finally ready to actually go fishing. But that’s something you will read about in my next post.

Hello my name is Jonas De Smet and welcome to my blog.

What's my blog about? Fishing. I know, this doesn't sound like the most interesting subject to write a blog about and why would a young person like me be interested in fishing. Well let me explain.

I am a marketing student at artevelde hoge school and my English teacher asked us to start writing a blog as an assignment. Then why fishing? isn't that really boring. Well i think so too, but my friends love it. And since I didn't know what subject I should write my blog about i thought why not give fishing a shot and write about that. 

Before i actually start to cast my line and reel in fish I first want to write down what i think about fishing right now. This way we will be able to see how much my opinion changed after i tried it. 

To me fishing sounds really lame. You basically just cast your line and wait for a fish to bite, not much more to it, right? I don’t know what my friends like so much about it? is it the satisfaction of catching a fish? the rest you get from the waiting? or do they like to go fishing for the social contact with other fishers? 

Let's see if i can find out what's so interesting about fishing. Untill next time.
