Be ready or the fish will get away

Posted by Patrick Corkum on April 2, 2010

So, I went fishing the other day and was out for a few hours. I fished for a good hour and a half casting in my lure over and over and over again in different spots, hoping to get a bite. Then, I decided to cast somewhere that I didn’t think anything would bite, and wham…. I wasn’t ready and missed setting the hook. About a half hour later of repeatedly casting and reeling, another cast and wham, missed again. Another half hour or so later… same thing. You end up getting so accustomed to dealing with the mundane that when the sacred shows up, you miss it, you just are not ready. Are you ready or are you too caught up in what is going on in your life everyday to set the hook when the time comes?
