fishing is all that matters

You know some times we make terrible choices  while we are fishing ,we go to this sweet little hole to crappie and bass fish it is all shallow and there is an enormous amount of cover so the fish do very well there . It has several small lakes tied together by these little shoot I mean they are connected but its less than 50 yards between them the front lake wasn't doing to well this day so we went to the back and fished there for a couple of hours and was catching a few nice crappie it was a nice early summer day and mostly cloudy and had sprinkled on us a couple of time we decided not to leave but to go to the truck and get the rain gear out and keep on fishing.When we got to the boat ramp there was another fellow there fishing at the ramp and he was getting ready to leave he ask us if we were staying and we told him that we were and he decided if we were so was he ,we told him that we figured it would just sprinkle of and on and the fish was biting and we intended to make the most of this.We got our gear out and took our small boat back to the back were we had been ,in this lake you are down in a hole so to speak there are hills around you that block your view of any weather that is coming then out of the west a very dark cloud started over the hill and we decided it would probably just sprinkle and slide around us we couldn't"t see the hole picture a couple of minutes later it started raining and i mean raining you couldn't"t see the banks you could just barely see the front of the boat and it was less than 12' away we cranked the boat and went straights across the lake to the bank and it was still raining like crazy it did this for about 20 minutes and quit  we had to bail the boat out this is a very small boat 12' with a 4.5 horse mercury motor no pumps this is a boat we used to fish here and other sloughs in the area that you need just a small boat and this on was 3/4 full of rain water we finally made it back to the ramp and there sat that man that was fishing there in his truck he waited to see if we made it in he said he was about ready to find someone that he was about convinced we had been sunk,and it got close.  If he happens to read this post i would like to thank him for waiting to see that we were OK, the great thing about your fellow fisherman is that they care and are always willing to help one another if in trouble and we never know when that will happen .But just don't ask about our secret hole you won't get a straight answer.Of coarse after we got home we had a mess all of our gear was full of water and grit and it all had to be cleaned and put up so that next time we would be ready to try again.
