An action-packed tale of fishing and friendship. Fishing off the dock is all right, but you're never going to catch anything bigger than a minnow. You've got to get out to sea, out to where the big fish are. And that's exactly what the boys in this story propose to do - with a raft.. a raft they'll build themselves. Bill and his friend are so excited by their idea that not even a heavy storm can blow them off course!
