Off Road Angler

Well, I’ve had my eye on this nice retention pond by the toll road here with a parking lot for the booth workers and Sunday I went out to try it.

It looked pretty flat and accessible as they had just mowed the grass. However, the mowers had left some ruts around the banks and after venturing within 4-5 feet of the waters edge I got stuck!

Now you should know that getting stuck is nothing new for me……it does not happen a lot but I’ve had my share of flat tires, mud puddles, sand dunes and even falling out of my chair…..one with a top watter popper and small bass hooked on my shoelace.

Usually, I start praying and thinking about how to get out of the situation and God sends some unsuspecting jogger or walker by to help me. This time though despite cars zooming around the exit ramp all around me no help was truely in sight……so I turned to my avenue of last resort…..calling Leanne.

Now it’s not that I don’t want to call Leanne, I just don’t want to worry her……plus she usually gives me a bit of a SAFETY talking to afterwards.

This time was no exception……after rescuing me, seeing that I was ok, she gave me a few stern words…….kinda like God does when we stray a bit or have a lapse in judgement……we can always call on Him though and He’ll always come rescue us……kinda like my blessing of a wife.
