severe limitations nobody mentions about our amphibious vehicles

I ran into a similar situation just yesterday. A pond I used to frequent with a small boat has now been blocked off (well swamped off) to the point that nothing but a AATV could get you in. I drove a few miles to fish this pond so I wasnt going to let a few cat tails and grass clumps stop me! Getting in was easy. After fishing for a couple hours (trolling motor a 24M battery) I attempted to exit the same place I entered, tough to get out to say the least! I was almost to the point of using the winch when the stars lined up and out I came. I do carry a very large homemade treble hook that I can hook to my winch and throw on shore to snag something if needed, this would not be near as easy without synthetic winch rope, I think every winch should come with this stuff! Bottom line is that I could not have gotten anywhere close to the pond in any other type of vehicle, so I am just glad to have the opportunity to get to those spots. I have always thought that anything that does 2 jobs can't be the best at either of them!

Just one.. They are on bed down here right now so its a tough sell.. Give it another week and it will be tough to keep em off the hook! The one I did catch was really just luck, I think I hit her with the hook!
