Well after two weeks I finally felt like fishing again. I have been having a lot of back pain and also had a severe case of gout in my right knee. So bad I couldn't bend it for about 8 days. Doc gave me some meds on Tuesday and I can bend it again so I decided to go fishing.

Started fishing about 6:45 and had three good fish including a 1lb 14 oz beauty before 8:00, then nothing until 11:00. Then between 11:00 and 12:15 I caught 13 more good fish including a 1lb 13 oz fish.

Caught most of them on red/chartreuse hair jig (my jig) and a blue thunder that I dyed the tail chartreuse on. Fishing 11-12 feet of water and catching fish right on bottom.

I fished about 1/4 mile west of Hwy 9 bridge. More boat than a fellow could count. I guess I should have gone with Maxwell328. But I had a great time and caught enough fish to feed us 4-5 times. I'm just glad the Lord healed my knee so I could fish again. Now on to the orthopedic surgeon on the 29th of Feb. to see what he want to do with my back.
