I’m happy to report that the doctors gave me the ok to try get back on the water a little.  I didn’t go crazy by any means, but did get out a couple of times this week and it sure felt good. 

I’m definitely not a 100 percent but it was nice to get out to see what’s happening on the water.   The fishing was surprisingly good and the weather was decent for the most part.   The wind came up the one day and thank you Pro Marine in Bismarck for hooking me up with a Wave Pro seat base! Life saver. 

The fish are still fairly shallow for this time of year.  I targeted the shallower fish in 20-25 for the most part.  I saw a lot of fish out deeper and some really good ones.  However I try hard not to pick on those and try catch some good eater size fish.  

A little heavier bouncer and slow death hooks were the top producers with a chunk of crawler.  Again, if I was targeting bigger fish the creek chubs, blade baits, finishers etc would be the baits of choice and definitely out deeper. 

I’m still taking it slow for now.  I have another check up on Oct 6th to decide my future with what I have going on.  Until then I am trying to get back to normal as best I can…just a little slower but that ok.  Thank you to everyone for all the love, help, and support I’ve been given.  Thank you!
