Got out for a couple hours yesterday Smallmouth were hard to find so I started flipping blow down trees and squeezed out a couple nice Largemouth. About time for the Crappie to turn on, hope I get to get after them. Got some not so great news from the neurologists. Herniated disk in between C3&4 and narrowing of the spine above my old back surgery L3 thru L5. I was surprised he was more concerned with the stuff in the lower back than in my neck. I guess over time I've got used to the pain in the lower back. The Doc. is ready to do surgery now but I'm gonna try and get through the winter, love my winter fishing.

Nice ones Mike. Were you flipping a jig or plastics? Blowdowns are my favorite places to catch Largemouth. Good luck with the back and neck. Thanks for the pictures.

Flipping a big Zoom old Monster worm 1/8th oz. pegged sinker. I guess that's also my favorite way to catch Largemouth too. Always a test to get them out of the tops.

Yes it is, and we don't always succeed, at least I don't. The challenge is exciting though, and on fairly light (8lb) line, it can take some patience.

Good looking fish there Mike, I just got a second opinion on my back and both said the same thing ( need surgery) was almost ready to do it till I thought it's going be cooling down shortly and the Red's and Snook already going strong then I have lots of work to catch up on been so hot during the summer plus I have some great friends from up north will be down soon, boy I came up with lots of reasons real fast to put it off till next summer when it's to hot to do anything 😂 Hope we both can make it till later on 🤞
I'll keep you in our prayers Chuck and Kay 🙏

Hey Ivey. Sorry to hear bout your back and neck. Will keep you in my prayers.
I can relate with the back, neck, right foot and knee plus my left thumb problems.
Some people say it sucks to get old but I guess it's better than the alternative.
I'm still able to get around for the most part and get done what I need to do.
I'll probly end up getting surgery one of these days, but not yet.

I hear you Chuckay, about April sounds good, 6 to 8 weeks recovery should put me into the After dark fishing so that's what I'm thinking.

Hold out as long as you can but don't wait to long, nerve damage is a real problem. I'm hoping to hold out but if things start going numb again I'll know it's time.
