Yesterday Mr and Mrs Michelle came and taught us about boat safety and fishing for the future and these are the things that I think are the most important things to take on a boat in case you get stranded or if you get stuck in the middle of the ocean.
These are things to take on your fishing boat.One of the most important things to take on a fishing trip is a flare gun.The reason why I think a flare gun is important because in case you get lost in the middle of the sea or if you are stranded on a island you can shoot it into the sky and that makes a signal for boats or helicopters that are close.Or you can find black rubber and put it in leaves and wood and grass and shoot the flare gun at the fire you will make black smoke that people can see that is another way to sinal someone for help if you are lost or you are stranded on an island and get back.
The second most important thing is life jackets the reason why life jackets are important is because if your boat hits something it will sink and if you are far from shore and your arms get tired you will sink to the bottom of the ocean and die.But if you have a life jacket you will float in the water even if you stop swimming and you will be safe long enough for you to reach shore and you can go get help and everyone that was on the boat with you will be saved and no one will get hurt.
The third most important thing is a radio because in case you are lost you can contact someone and ask them to get help.You can also call a near by helicopter or a near by boat.You can also use the redid to check the weather in case a hurricane or a storm is happening in the middle of the sea.If you go in the middle of the sea in a boat it is possible that the boat will sink and you will die if you don’t have a life jacket or anything to make you float in the water.
He also taught us that if you want to find fish you have to get some binoculars and you have to look if there are any birds because if there are any birds around then that means that there are fish there but before you throw your fishing hook in the water with your bait on it you have to scare the birds away from the water so they don’t go for your hook with bait on it.Because if they eat your hook then the hook will cut through the jaw or the top half of the mouth and there is a little piece of metal that sticks out and if you try pulling it out that little piece of metal will pull all the guts out of the bird and the bird will die.
He told us interesting stuff like if you find a big trophy fish the right thing is to put it back in the water so it can breed and it can make or fish you don’t want fish to be instinct do you?He said that you have to measure your fish if they are longer you have to put them back into the water because they might have babies and if you find a small one you have to put it back so it can grow and breed with other fish and make more babies and there will be enough fish for your sons and daughters in the future.
I think that all of this that they have taught us is very useful and it will make sure that there are enough fish for people in the future and that fish won’t go extinct.Because if they go extinct then what will the sharks and whale will eat they will starve and die and that will make whales and sharks extinct and there will be no creatures in the sea’s for people to see and play with there will be no goldfishes and no dolphins in aquariums so that is why I think the things he taught us are important.
