Thrifty Summer Fun Series - #3

Fishing is something we do every summer as often as possible.  Of course, its a competition between all of us on who can catch the first fish and who can catch the most fish.  We have a pond and we use it as often as possible.  Do you fish with your family or friends during the summer?

Here is a picture of our pond.
