There’s nothing better than a weekend, a time when you can relax and unwind in the solitude of a dock with nothing to think of but your fishing pole and earthworms for bait.
And pegasi.
So very many pegasi.
Now with a reading by Curtis Wildcat!
Now with a Chinese translation by hehelover

(not an author’s note ‘cause I hit the wrong button ‘cause I’m so very tired.)
You're quite correct, Biscuit...there is much more to fishing, and the time spent doing it, than just the catching of fish.
You go to the local restaurant for dinner because, of course, you gave away all your fish. As you sit down, the waitress smiles at you. "Order whatever you want, hun. Your meal's already paid for." You order the fish special and it tastes even more delicious than usual.
Yeah, this is better. I don't even like to eat fish, to tell the truth.
Somebody is never going to have to worry about the weather ever again.
Pegasai, waddaya gonna do? Flappy-ponies be weird sometimes, you'll go months thinking that they're just like regular people, only shorter and colorful, and then one day you find somepony ravaging your birdfeeder.

lost an h, maybe a passing Pegasus took it.
th got taken as well
Ok
Now this was good. Theres a word for the feeling this inspires yet I cant recall what it is. But its a good thing.
Also
Those pegasus' are like pigeons

The question is, who paid for it? The chef, waitress, manager... or random mare who's attracted to a stallion that can provide for the entire flock.
Behold the flying catpone recognizing his tribe's human's right of petting

All of the above plus Rarity too
I forgot that Pegasuses are birbs. Cute
That does it. Time to use the pegasi as bait for the fish.
...No, wait, they'd probably like that.
Give a man a fish & you feed him for a day
Teach a man to fish & he will annoy his wife -FOREVER!
They might have feathers for brains, but they sure do know where to get some grub... And how to get it without paying.
But that raises the question, what happened to the beer?
Man, I really want to go fishing now
Pegasi acting like birds is funny, reminded me of some older art stuff too

I was absolutely getting "Mine?" seagull vibes from the story. :)
Loved this one-shot - even brought a smile into my face with its humor and the images it brought forth!
Have a like!

And if you talk about fish to a hungry Pegasus you'll end up with a raincloud shoved down your chimney.
Hey, I know the lil pony in the picture! Hi, Lightning Blitz! He's Scoot's kid, from the Motherly Scootaloo tumblr comic. Good stuff, same author as Silent Ponyville.

Now THIS is why the older cans & bottles are better than the new stuff.
You couldn't just open them without a "church key"
If it’s dock fish, please. Take it all.
A lone, alabaster Pegasus with grey wings steals himself behind you. Of course, due to your average hearing, you don't notice him. You do, however, notice when a low breath finds its way crawling down your neck; slowly, you turn and face the new arrival.
His eyes go from the fish, twitching in your hand, to meeting yours. "MINE! MINE! MINE!"
Out of seemingly nowhere, more alabaster-grey Pegasi fly downward to your area on the dock, all screeching the same word as they stare at the same fish, now dead. "MINE! MINE! MINE!"
. . . . .
The ensued battle depraved a man of his dock. And his favourite fisher's hat.
I mean,
Gosh, this was weapons-grade adorable. Just what i needed.
Pegasi are like seagulls, minus the screaming and evil yellow eye stare.
Also, in the future, even in the most severe thunderstorms, there will be a circular opening in the clouds just above the dock. With just a light breeze and a few rays of sunshine.
What can I say? You are the consummate master of “slice of life with Ponies!”
No, no, no, that's a Georg story.
"Deserve is a strong word, monkey boy. Do you deserve thumbs?"
In any case, another lovely little slice of life in Equestria. Ponies still speak of the Fisher Prince...

It's not a sport I personally participate in, 'cause I've got plenty of other stuff to do in my free time (not to mention that I've learned fish are smarter than I am), but I totally get the appeal of sitting on a boat or a dock and enjoying nature.
9704554
I could totally see that happening. Do nice things for pegasi, and they'll do nice things for you.
9704557
I've never been a fan, either. And I'm no good at fishing; it turns out the fish are smarter than I am. But spending time on the lake is nice.
9704588
I know, right? That's almost a superpower, when you think about it:
"Man, I wish I had a cloud for shade."
A moment later, pegasi push one over.
9704648
Or, as some birdpones call them, "snack tubes."
You gotta watch out with birdbaths, too.

Corrections made; thank you!
Warm fuzziness?
Yes, they are. Or seagulls, for those of us who live near the water.

I like the idea of a pegasus mare being attracted to a human who knows how to fish (especially if the pegasi can't for whatever reason). Depending on circumstances food security is a good motivation.
Other possibilities would be all the fillies and colts pooled their allowance, or one of the young pegasi is a daughter or son of somepony who works at the restaurant.
9704667
As well they should.
9704681
They totally are.

Aww, how you could be that mad at them? They're adorable.
Heh, they might.

Build a man a fire, and you'll keep him warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, and you'll keep him warm for the rest of his life.

Smart birbponies are smart. They know how to get what they want.
9704741
They left that for him, because they might be greedy, but they aren't rude.
9704786
Do eet!
9704820
Oh, I love those. First one with Thunderlane and Flitter was inspirational in another story I wrote.
9704831
As well you should have.
9704869
Thank you!

Hopefully, said chimney is an actual chimney and not a euphemism.
9705334
What euphemism? Disappointed hungry ponies equals non-toasty damp human.
9705336
That's what I assumed you meant, but I also envision a pegasus shoving a cloud where the sun don't shine...

This was hilariously entertaining and very fluffy.
Great work.

Old fishermen never die. They just smell that way.

Yup!
I cropped the image for the cover; this is the original:

Aw this is so super precious.
