In 1981, When I first came to Florida my favorite fishing hole was also a hang out for perverts. The park was huge though so I thought I could always advoid them. I was on the north end and I had just caught a 2 lb bass when I noticed a black man looking at me from behind a newspaper. I released the fish ..got in my 1971 Checvy truck and drove to the extreme south side. You see I had just come to FLorida ot go to Bible college. I walked about 100 yds down a grassy path through a wooded area with phosphate pits on both sides. Then I took a right and walked down a small hill and barely had enough space to stand. I made a long cast with my white Rooster Tail spinner and happened to look behind me.OH CRAP! Guess who it is standing there with sex in his eyes and here am I only wearing running shorts.? I said a quick one sentence prayer in my heart.. GOD PLEASE HELP ME! There was no place to run. He is now coming down the little hill. I quickly reeled in my lure to the every tip. I opened my eyes wide as not to miss and began screaming and thrashing that Rooster Tailat the man's face. As he went backwards into the nearby thorns I got out of Dodge. From there on I began packing a pistol in my tackle box.
