Vernon's Vacation

Vernon's Vacation Does Not
Meet Needs

 

Over the vacation Vernon Evan did not do much because of some small problems. He was going to move his fish trap across from Marshall near Nick Andrew's fish trap but when they put up the water fence one of the poles got stuck so Vernon kicked it and the pole collapsed. Vernon's fish net also had to be taken out of the water because the ice got too thick where he had it and it made the area too shallow to keep his net in.

"I don't feel like a man anymore," Vernon said, "I don't feel like a man anymore because I don't have a fish trap or a fish net anymore. I don't like asking others for fish but I don't have a choice right now. I also didn't have my snow machine for a while and it's hard to check a fish trap or a fish net walking unless the net is right down on the beach where I used to have it."

Vernon said that he sure does miss having some fresh fish and he hopes soon that he gets to find a good spot to set his fish net, but first he has to know how thick the ice is in the area he wants it in.
