Report:Last Fishing Trip For A While

I've been recovery from knee surgery and this Thursday I'm having the hernia surgery I put off to have my knee surgery. I'm also going to physical therapy 3 times a week for a pinched nerve in my neck and when they did the MRI to find that they also found a growth on the thyroid so I'm waiting on a needle biopsy on that. The fishing Gods have been against me this year so I guess that's why I enjoyed yesterday so much!!
I got on the lake at 6am and went to the overflow pipe by the damn where I've caught them before but I didn't get a bite so I went hunting them. I found them on the other side of the lake on about a 100yd flat along the bank that's 5' deep with a lot of cut off stumps. I fished minnows and was also throwing a 1/8 ounce Road Runner with a black and chartreuse Joker on it. I ended up catching 21 and all were 11-15" and the only 4 I caught on minnows were the smallest. The water temp was 59° and calm winds, when the wind kicked up from the East at 9am the fish quit and so did I. I had a great day and look forward to getting back after them towards the end of Jan.

Glad you got out and found some fish! Sounds to me like you really deserved them!! Here's hoping your health improves.

It all will be over before you know it. Hang in their like a rusty nail you will be back at it before Long.

Best Wishes!

Amen. God bless.

Hoping you have a speedy recovery,,glad you found some fish!!!!

The only thing I have hanging now is a needle biopsy on a growth on my thyroid. I've had my thyroids removed but I guess they left a piece and it has some of the growth on it that was the reason it was removed. They found it when they did an MIR on my neck for a pinched nerve. They've already done an ultra sound so now I'm just waiting to get a biopsy done. I don't think there will be anything wrong so I plan on wacking some crappie by Feb!

This is where I had re-posted the report and added the fish pictures.
