Thread: Shoulder getting better, Ohio river crappie?

Got out today for about 3.5 hours and got my butt kicked. Caught 3 in all that time. Water was pretty muddy in the creeks (Markland pool), current was moving pretty good, and water temps were between 35-37. Had to break ice at the ramp.

Not ideal fishing conditions in warmer weather but just couldn't find them or get them to bite. I may be done for the year, or I may decide to go back for more punishment next week.

Went again yesterday for a couple hours. Did very poorly. River creeks are in terrible shape right now. Worst I've seen all of 2016. A bit high but extremely muddy and lots of debris. Water has warmed a few degrees but I think it's going to take a fairly dry week for it to get back to normal.

Ugly up river too.

Well my shoulder is finally getting better. Still doing therapy at home. Definitely stronger but still aches. Gosh this has been a hard one for recovery. My final therapist session said another 2-4 months for full recovery, including therapy rest of my life. Getting old isn't fun!! Lol!!

So how long has this been going on? When did you have you surgery.
I've been seriously thinking of having my shoulder worked on but I don't want to be laid up for six months.

You been out fishing any cmax? I'm starting my winter withdrawl. I haven't been out since November.

Yeah, I've been out almost once a week, not killing them but getting a few. I haven't made it out this week but it's not the cold, I was out Muzzleloader season Sat & Monday plus I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel. I was finally starting to do the tile work today and the electric went out. I take that as an omen that I should have went out fishing or hunting...the Gods are angry at me.
I hope everything doesn't flood from all this rain we're going to have this week. My wife on the other hand is hoping everything floods or freezes so I finish this project up.
My left shoulder is killing me but from the sounds of Bassky's ordeal I don't think I can handle that long of a recovery.

hope u both get well ..cmax that is the longest bathroom remodel ever
