Cat Chat 2021

[Mooseman75]

Got the news I didn't necessarily want today. I saw my neurosurgeon because I've had terrible back and leg pain again. Only fix is surgery, I have a ligament growing in my spinal cord. The slap in the face...surgery date is March 15th...so we'll see how fast I recover lol....going to take boat out before hopefully and see if any early biters

Hi Justin,


Glad to hear you got your motor and finder all set up. I know it is hard looking at surgery right at the start, but I just thought I would send some encouragement your way. My triple cervical spine fusion happened on Mar 13 last year. Didn't get on the water until almost the end of April and Julie and I both ended up topping my best score ever.  I just looked at my records and the total cat count from April 25 to Oct 24 was over 500 with 9 fish 30 inches or more between us. You can have a great year even with the surgery!

The early part is fun, but the numbers are usually low. Their are some big fish caught then, and I like the March first start, but there are also a good number of 1 or two fish trips. I hope your surgery works out as well as mine did last year.

Thanks Jim I hope I get out as soon as the end of April but I'm looking at 3 months  but I'll do what they say and build up strong and push my self maybe just maybe I can make it sooner. I'm one that follows advice and watches things close the 24 surgeries could have been more lol
