house arrest meaning Im medically unable to drive

oh I agree they troll a almost 4ft wake and you can imagine the cavitation depth . If I fell between the dock and my pontoon boat as his wake hit me bye bye bill

JUSTICE SERVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all
Havent posted or pretty well haven't been fishing or boating in the last few mo due to a boating accident by another boater in the lake community we live in . Seems the wake surfer caused me to partially fall between my boat and the doc. Thanks to Gods good graces only my hand became injured and not my head.
I have since had an extensive operation to repair the damge to my right hand an arm. It's bee0n 2 months and am looking at 4 more in this double cast.
However I'm good and can't complain there are people fairing worse than me.

I am on house arrest. Pretty much cant drive or get out but recovering fairly. My neighbors are great supports as well as others, whom have kept me in their prayers. I miss getting out but there (with the grace of God) will have a great time next season . I look forward to writting more but I'm typing. with only my left hand and was type challenged before the accident.

well the way things are now it's do as I say not as I do.


I do have to add that we got unofficial notice that the 2023 as well as 2024 lake use season the lake will be unavailable as that is when ehe DaMMMMMM Dam project is expected to start another project is one of two bridges on the lake will have to be redone as the last builder put in a single I beam vs a double one so it's beginning to sag and needs replacement gee they should have done it out of balsa wood. The waste of money here is terrible no wonder why alot of homes are for sale.
Once they start on the bridge a 6 min fire call to a home just over the bridge will be closer to 20-24 min .

sorry not to have written way too much going on
To start they drained like they do every year about this time the private huge lake we live in (inPA) its nearly 400 acres and covers 2 counties. In order to fix the private and lake owners docks. Got my boat out and all cleaned up and ready for next year. That is if they don't start on the dam project which they will, then drain the lake completely. The state of PA is making then do it. We figure besides the loss of all the fish it will take 2 years for the project to be completed and a total of 10 years to put the lake back eco wise. So fishing may be out of the question. And because the motor on the boat is 30 hp and all the surrounding lakes have a 20-25 hp limit. Im at ends what to do with the boat we just bought this year (24ft pontoon) I do have a 5hp and ponder if they do go ahead with the project to use that. I can hear the wifey now ------------u had ta get a boat ehhhhh
especially the best lakee is close to 2 hr away and towing a pontoon boat can be nerve wracking in PA transit. GAAAAAHHH

OH well there is always hunting least I thought so bought a new crossbow but the person I was to go with bugged and out and because I'm handicapped I don't dare go alone

I surrender

Well it looks like a long winter and with the gov closing everything a boring one too. OH well looks like it's time to take up a new hobby of carving animals on gun stocks or playing solitaire------------boring

Probably wont die thank the lord from the virus --------just bore-de-dub-men

Haven't been posting much since my stroke
First off I want to thank all your kind prayers and those of my neighbors and friends. I am getting through this a lot better. the therapy is helping make life easier. This week I'm attempting to take the boat out for a short ride with my fishing buddy, before I have to. (Lake rules : All vessels out end of OCT to fix the docks.) They drain much of the lake (over 300A)
I hear tell I haven't missed much, here at the lake seems the fish simply took a vacation.

HUMMMMMMMMM

Any who . Just wanted to say many, many thanks to you all here

Sorry to not have kept up with all ur posts was in the hospital 2 weeks ago after having a minor stroke. So getting back gradual like with at home they and visiting nurse visits . But thanks to all the prayers am doing a lot better. Hope to get back to our boat and fishing the lake here again (reel) soon .

could they prey on bass and or other fish I wonder . We have them in our lake in PA

yea just short of an earlier start and of yet gotta use my downriver and troll. Another form of bait we haven't tried cause we can't seem to get or keep is sizable minnies. Had hoped to get some frogs and fish them.

GASP!!!! ours is a manmade lake over 300A and several miles of shore line. The deepest section is a long strip before the dam about 40 ft of depth. Most of the rest of the lake averages 8 to 10 ft some coves and inlets are 5- to 3 ft deep there are plenty of docks and boat houses all around the lake in its two county spread. Gotta take the time to straighten out my depth and fish recorder and see whats where. I do know there are monsters there a friend caught several LM bass and released them over 6lbs, a flathead at 46 lb caught and released and my several 4 to 5 lb bass again C and R. Some sm bass about 3 to 4 ld C and R No reports on caught wallies . Its a private lake residents only and most all fishermen catch and release. the exception is crappies in the 3 to 4lb range and sometime a tad over. Now nothing gotta be at a deep depth

WAS THINKING OF NEXT TIME WHEN I CUT MY BACKYARD GRASS (3/4 A) PILING IT UP NEAR THE BACK WITH SOME COW DUNG. SHOULD I ALSO KEEP TURNING IT OVER (NOW) . KNOW I HAVE TA DO THIS FAR AWAY FROM THE HOUSE CAUSE OF MICE

Im in Adams county has anyone or is it just my lake (Lake Meade) noticed the fishing just dropped off far out of sight.. IT SEEMES THE ONLY THING IM CATCHING IS A BAD SUNBURN

I agree speckled
