Hi,
Unfortunately I have two bad cuts on my feet. The small cut above my ankle got infected and the one on my toe was questionable. On orders from my doctor I have been off the water until they start healing.
How long will that be? As long as it takes.
Does this mean I have to stop fishing? No. Just wading in the Lagoon. In the summer, wading with cuts is risky- and wading with an infection is out. I'm taking medication now so things should start improving soon. This is frustrating since I wanted to document fishing (wading) in the Lagoon for a year and especially in one main area- Walton Rd. This is the second time this year I've had to stay off the water-- the first time was at the beginning of April. When I got back on the water after 15 days off, I didn't know where the fish were!!!
I have fished with few results from Ken Turner's pier (one jack, one trout). I fished around the South bridge in Stuart with Ken and had a big fish break my 8 pound test with a hard strike. I've gone to the beach and fished in the surf. Today was exciting because I caught a slot-sized, over 6 pound snook in the surf on a paddletail jig. My neighbor Jim and I fished the Ocean across from Hermann's. The snook hit my lure in about 12 inches of water above the first cut (closest waves breaking) only 8 feet from shore. How shallow can they go?!!???
So I probably won't be doing any posts until after July 5 or so. I'll let you know if anything exciting happens.
Richard
