So here's my story!

One cold, dark Jan. morning..........
I was on my way to one of my more prodyctive fishing holes, but not my favorite due to the amount of people who know about and can access it. The few holes will only allow for minanal anglers, with driftin bening the preffeted technique. I arrive about an hour later than normal, due to the wife being pregenant and the responsibilites that go along with it, when to no surprise but a road full of cars parked along the road. I know the water was perfect and finding a hole would be difficult but i couldn't resist the temptation! To my sutprise when I approached the first stretch, the most prolific, it was wide open, so i immediatly hit it and took the same cast i taken many times before. To my surprise, as my corkey hit the water, I noticed a rod 4ft to my right....... I looked back another rod and backpack...... oooooppppps!!!!!!! I just realized I encroached on a takin hole. I heard a rustle in the bushes and to my surprise the hole renter was taking a # back there! He should have been prepared bucause thunk thunk, set, and fish on!! This steelie was chrome and hot so i had to leave the hole(which i would have anyway,after my initial drift). After a tremendous battle I was gifted with a nickle bright 14lb piggy, which to my dismay wasnt able to post due to lack of proper computer equipment
