Mini Fishing - board game

mini fishing. most recognizable public domain board game and appealing to those with ADD.

What can I say about this toy other than everyone in America at one point in time had to have owned this. This was…nay, IS the most classic board game ever created. It can stand the test of time. Be enjoyed by future generations. Who wouldn’t want to fish for magnetic fish? It’s my hobby.

After a long week at the factory, I like to kick back on the weekend. Drink a few brews; take the ol’ station wagon to Camp Anawanna Lake and go fishin’. Yes sir. Just sit back and enjoy the sunshine.

Whoa Nelly! I’s gots a tuggin’ on me line. Yee haw! Mighty perdy that them there fishily wishily. I’s can’t waits tills I’s gets homes so’s I’s could cooks this them here fishily wishily. Thems goin’ be good eattins. Yee haw!

Now where my wife at? She better ‘en cooks this here fishily wishily. I’s spent a good fifteen seconds watching thems fishily wishily family spin in that there lake. I’s wants suppa, woman!

Yes’em. That them there fishily wishily sure enough hit the spo…whoa! Hot damn I’s feels mighty sick. Musta been that ol’ womans cookin’. I’s best get in beds. Um. Er. The toilet sure sound mighty better. *BARF*

After eating, I wanted to blame the woman’s cooking on how ill I felt, I was stubborn. I didn’t want to admit that it was the fishily wishily. How could I? Am I not a man?! It took me fifteen seconds to grab a line onto the fish…fifteen seconds. In my day we had to sit around that lake for a good thirty, forty seconds in our bare feet with Saturday morning cartoons on for god’s sake. It was destiny that had leaded fishily wishily to my fishing line. Destiny I tell you! Though, I digress.

My food poisoning was not in vain. It is a sign. An omen if you will. As god as my witness, I shall tell all who fish at Camp Anawanna Lake, not to eat the fishily wishilies. I shall overcome!

Power to the fishily wishily! I shall start the enlightenment where it is needed most…Camp Anawanna Lake.

As I approached Camp Anawanna Lake, I’ve seen a faint figure pointing toward the deep frosty water. I raced to speak with him. I must inform him not to spoil the Lake any longer with lines of barbaric razor sharp hooks to string along helpless fishily wishilies. “Stop” I said, with a monstrous tone. “This is a secrete lake. A lake where many generations of bored children and stoned teenagers fish for a few moments and grow bored.” The man gawked at me in confusion. “You may indulge in catching the fish,” I mumbled, ”even count how many you catch and out number your friend, but when you are done, put them back into the lake. Never eat them.” The man stared deeper into my eyes as if I had treaded on uncharted ground.

“Are you stupid my boy?” he said with disgust. “This here lake is a toxic waste dump. Has been for…I’d say twenty years.” I felt sick once again. “Besides, it’s just a board game; you stupid kid.”

Yay! That was fun. Eh! Well, it was for me. One can’t write too much about a board game that really only lasts a few minutes and will inevitably be thrown into the corner of ones room. The game is classic, but can seriously take the title board game out of context…bored game. Bad joke. The damn thing gets 2 out of 4.

-eep!

i remember having this, except there were no magnets, there were little plastic hooks!!! that game owned all!!!

I had this one. I remember my mom made this one of the games at our birthday parties every year! I liked it better than perfection.

I still have mine. At one point I lost all of the fish although within the last few years I managed to find most of them with only a couple still missing. I did lose all of the fishing poles and haven't found any of them. Mine still works. I remember once on a camping trip it was the only toy I brought with me so I must have liked it. Speaking of fishing games does anyone ever remember getting the kind of fishing game where you would put larger plastic fish into a bucket and then have to fish them out with a plastic pole? I had one of those games too a long way back although that one is still lost amongst clutter of the decades.

I think I had one of these!

I had so much more fun with the fish, then the actual game it self.

i had the version with the normal mouths (no magnets, wouldn't that make the game a cake walk?), and insted of playing the game it self, i usually used the fish as killer pirahanna (spelling!) that my G.I. Joe's were mauled to death by.

there cute little faces made it eve more fun to make believe they were blood thirsty killing machines.

I never actually owned one myself but I would play for ice cream during recess with the other kidz from pre school. Then I gave them to girls I liked.

I had one but it keeps breaking down from time to time.

This was one of my favorite board games growing up. For some reason it never got old. Even now I love playing it with the kids I babysit for.

I fondly remember this game

i loved this game , once you got tired of actualy fishing , you could play with the fish, i did not have the kind with the magned , i had the ones with teeth so i would play hungry piranhas with my GIJOES

I played this fish game like once I think--over at a friends. Another game I remeber is MOUSETRAP. You know: the one where you assemble the funky contraption with cranks, a man jumping in a pool, etc. That was a good time.

Well, I didn't enjoy the actual fishing, but I liked playing with those tiny fishies.

I fed them with clay
