In the outdoor world, it may be that we neglected to check to see if our scope was accurate before we went on our hunt. Or it may be that if we had not neglected to re tie our spinner bait, that bass would not have broken the line. Neglect comes in many forms when it comes to hunting and fi shing. Just the other day, I was reminded of this truth. I had already gone through two anchors this year. While river fi sh- ing, my son had lost one earlier. He neglected to make sure it was tied se- curely. Just a few days later I was forced to cut my anchor cord because I was unable to get the anchor unstuck from where it had planted itself. And now, only three days later, I was back with a new cord and anchor. I thought I had tied it securely. I had even made sure to pay attention to the knot each time I retrieved it from the bottom. And even though I noticed that it had not seated itself tightly enough, I thought nothing else about it. A few minutes later, as I tried to pull the anchor back in the boat, I noticed that the cord was weightless. It had become untied. I had neglected to notice it loosening before. I immediately looked to my left to try to mark just where the boat was sitting because I knew the current would take me quickly downstream. I made my way back to the bank and made plans to put on my best Jacques Cousteau imitation. At 9:00 am I was diving for my anchor and somehow found it in only a few short minutes. I didn’t want my neglect to cost me anymore than it AUTOS • TRUCKS AUTOS • TRUCKS 2002 UD ROLLBACK, 21ft., street bed, auto, diesel, $22,500. 864-542-3727. 2002 UD ROLLBACK 21ft 1987 CHEVROLET MONTE Carlo.

Sometimes the price is not exacted until later. This means that we may think the conse- quences of neglect are minimal or even non-existent. So we continue down a certain path thinking the things in our life will stay as securely fastened as they were the last time we checked. Then something happens and we reach for our anchor and discover it is no longer to be found. Our neglect has caused us to become disconnected from it. It is still there, where we left it. It is still in good shape. It is still holding on – fi rmly attached to a solid founda- tion, but we have fl oated past it and are now left to the will of the current. Perhaps today is a good day to mark the place where you were last attached to your anchor. Perhaps today is the day to decide that neglect has already cost you too much and that it’s time to take the dive to retrieve that which holds your life steady in the midst trou- bled waters. Perhaps today is the day to come back to the Lord. The Kosa retirees fished Lake Hickory last week with some good catches reported Tom M catches reported. Tom Mayhew and Larry Melton picked up the win with 12.85. Second place was a tie between the teams of Dean Champion/Fred Wright and John Black/Roger McNeilly, both brought in 10.75. Big fish of the day was a 4.35 weighed in by the team of Champion and Wright. This week, the retirees are on Lake Wylie. With all the rain we have had the lake is full and I expect them to have some real good catches. Ticona The Ticona Bass Club fished Lake Wylie last Saturday morning from 4 am til noon. Jody and Tony Black caught 17.9 and picked up the win. They also had big bass for the event with a 4.7 largemouth. Randy Moss and Scott Heafner had 14.13 and were second followed by Jim Weaver and David Bowen with 12.7. Allen and Gary Gamble had 11.1 and took the final spot. The Ticona club will fish Lake Wylie again on June 12 from 4 am til 12 noon. Moss Twenty-seven boats made it out for last Thursday night’s bass tournament. Brian and Cody Hoyle got the win with 11.30 followed by Mark Pickelsimon and Reggie Guffey with 8.55. A close third went to J R Garland and Ronnie Beason with 8.35 with Richard McAbee fishing solo and picking up fourth with 7.70. Fifth place went to James Osborne and Larry Melton with 7.30. Big bass for the evening went to Richard McAbee with a 3.15 largemouth. J & J The J & J Lake Norman Spring Trail fished on the Saturday side of the trail last weekend. Twenty-seven boats fished with Mike Lovelace and Roger Griffin took the win with 17.05. They also had big bass with a 4.95 largemouth. Second place with 12.20 was Shane Hawkins and Bucky Helms.
