Thank you for replies and concerns, they are appreciated. The neurological issues which I had to put on hold in Dec. are now beginning to be addressed, diag. is a type of peripheral neuropathy, which effects entire body, not just hands /feet. Presently rec. a few high doses of Chemo. which increases the effects of this, balance is bad( those creek stones are really something!)and hard just getting around with the tightness/numbness associated with this.. This spot is a creek at bottom of a small spillway and not far off road. Don't have many options of where I can get to, but determined to do what I can. Sure miss posting about and walking back into those lakes I was used to fishing and running into some of those occasional nice panfish.
Hang in there !
As we age , we all have our challenges , some are a little more challenged than others .
But we have to adapt . Sounds like you’re doing just that .
Beautiful greenies !
I was thinking as I was looking at the pics how good a trip this was for you. Very glad to see you getting all those fish, sure nuf pretty. The smallie was just the icing. Being diabetic my doc checks for neuropathy every time I go in. Those rods look terrible and I need to work on em. Let me give you my address…….
Nice catches no doubt. Can’t imagine having PN over the whole body. Hopefully they can get something going good for you.
Regards

With cancer diag. in Dec., the neurological stuff was put on hold, but the symptoms have progressed very fast the last six months and the cancer treatments worsen it. And that gear is the only thing around here that is in decent shape!!!!
I also forgot to ask, where do you get the worm in the one pic? Nikko makes them and I’ve tried to find some that aren’t junk and break on the first fish but no luck so far. Be real cool to find some made from the elastech kinda stuff that Zman uses. Thanks in advance.
Alpha, I know they are. Any of us would be happy with them. We operators of said equipment don’t look near as good.

There are other Zman worm baits sold that can be modified for panfish use. Right top is Mad River trout worm (somewhat durable) and Creme Lures worm (not very durable). These I just cut down as I fish, they rip at front mostly no matter if glued or not.Attachment 465650
