    So... This is Uncle Buck & his pet Gulliver!

    It's not the name he was born with & no one is really sure if he got it because of his, somewhat exaggerated, tales of his life as a buccaneer or just because he has buck teeth, either way the name stuck & no one can even remember what his real name is anymore.

    He lives in the lighthouse on BF & until recently was rarely seen, aside from the occasional visit to the organic market to get supplies. But lately he has been telling anyone that will listen, stories of a giant fish that he has seen just off the coast. Of course no one believes him,  "Ah that Buck & his crazy stories!" they say. Well, determined to prove his claim, Uncle Buck has now got himself a less than impressive fishing rod & just as soon as he can get a boat, he is heading off to catch himself a giant fish!!

    Good Luck Buck!!

    Our new character is Walter Waterson.

    Walter likes to hitch a ride with Captain Barnacle & fish off the ship. One day when Barnacle was making his way to my farm to pick up a shipment, there was a storm & the waters were rough. Poor ol' Walter fell off the ship into the water. Everyone rushed over to help him. Fortunately he recovered and that's when his eyes met with Rita's. It was love at first sight! <3 To this day ol' Walter sits on the dock just outside of my flower farm & fishes all day.

    The End
  • Now, everyone knows that's Jellyfish Joe....he's been down on his luck since Barnacle gave him the heave-ho,
    He floated for days off the shore of these farms, but the big fish and sharks ne'er done him no harm
    He longed for the sea, but just had to settle, when he washed up and saw only corn in the kettle
    With his pole and his gull, he went on his way
    He swore his friend "Barny" one day he'd make pay
    A landlubber now, though he'll never be happy
    He'd better go fishin', and make it right snappy!

    He is Steve,s long lost older brother Fred who ran away to sea as a young boy after reading Moby Dick. He started off as a cabin boy visiting lands which where exotic to his boyhood imagination . He worked his way up to be captain and owner of his own ship. He now lives in semi retirement offering fishing trips and nature watching trips to tourists . He likes a tot of rum and an audience to listen to his tales of the high seas, which get more daring and dangerous with each telling

    Allow me to introduce Jonah Fishwater, a distant cousin of Captain Barnacle. Like the good captain, Jonah has long had a love for the sea. He's known by his friends and neighbors to be an excellent storyteller who really knows how to spin a good yarn, but tends to stretch the truth a bit. ;)   His dream is to build a fish farm here, but he needs our help.                                                         Jonah knows more about fish than any man alive, and looks forward to proving it!
                                                                     Welcome to our community, Jonah! :)

  • Here goes ya' a limerick:

    This is Fisherman Frank who knows how to fish bits & pieces you may have trouble with finding, particularly when that 5th & 6th slot of the boat is a bit of a struggle.
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226

    This is Fishtale Frank. He will soon be opening his fish shop there on the Flower farm.

    When he isn't busy out on his fish trawler catching fish for us to sell at the market you can find him sitting on the dock with Captain Barnacle telling his wild fish stories about the big one that got away. That is how he got his name Fishtale. He has some great stories about the one that got away.
  • Meet Omar's distant cousin Fromel Flounder. As a young man Fromel realized farming was not the life for him, he wanted to take a different path.
    He tried his hand working at the Candy Farm, but decided life as a carny wasn't for him. He also spent some time at both horse training and gold mining, but it wasn't until he went to Viking Island that he found his true calling as a fisherman.
     He felt invigorated by the sea spray and the smell of salt in the air. Under the tutelage of Captain Barnacle Fromel learned to operate a fishing boat and after many years has decided to set up a new charter boat business. Fromel and his companion Sammy Seagull are looking forward to selling you equipment and taking you deep sea  fishing. Hope to see you aboard!

     Allow me to introduce Fisherman Bob Cod. Despite his love for the sea, he has zero sense of navigation and keeps getting lost every time he goes out fishing. Thankfully he has his trusted seagull pet Mowy, rescued as a baby fledgling, who always leads him screeching directions back to shore.

    There is a tale that is told. Of an old sea dog and his pet gull Simon. Some call him W.T. Some call him Freddy W.T. Fisherman but most just call him Whale Tale. It began one day as Freddy was out in search of the great blue fish. The largest fish any one has every seen. Some say it's a big as a ship. Some even claim it's bigger than a whale. So happens that one day Freddy happens to snag this huge beast of a fish. Only to be taken out into the middle of the ocean some where as the seas turned rough and poor Freddy and his pet ended up on our shore. Looking to set up shop to help him get back out on the water to search for the Big Blue fish once again. Come by and say hello to Freddy Whale Tale Fisherman ;)

    This is one of the most creative names that I've seen in this thread so far. I like how you dragged in some facts in the first paragraph, and I liked the story on the second paragraph.

    Very well said, RunsWivScissors. You have made a very creative idea and I hope that's his name.

    oops i forgot the details about how i liked that lololol what!!

    This is Earnest, Earnie to his closest friends. He fishes for a living. He has since he was a sprout.  One day he threw a line over the side and hooked a big one. (You can see it on the map.) It dragged him and his little boat from port to port and from harbor to harbor until he ended up here with us at the big farm. He didn't land it but he intends to stick around until he does.

    Congratulations to winners    <3       I am excited  about the fishing ,although I get seasick on duck pond + the fish restaurant ,which sounds mainly like a shop. I just hope it won't revolve mainly around buying and spending tons of gold. 
  • Oleg? LOL, that was out of the blue. Congrats to the winners.

  • Congrats to the winners.
    Great story by everyone posted.

    Just want to let everyone know that if you're having a hard time finding Oleg, he's at the end of the pier on the Flower farm.
    Then when you send him fishing for bass, he shows up at a pond on the Gourmet farm. :)
