Thread: No Skunk today :)

I’ve been dealing with a neck pain issue for about a week , the past few days have been the worst .
I canceled out on my weekly meetup fishing trip yesterday because of it .
Sat around with either some type of rub or a heat pad on my neck and right shoulder , most of the day .
This morning it seemed to feel better if I moved around a bit .
I told my wife I was going to try and fish about an hour, after lunch .
Weather was sunny , mid fifties but with a bit of a wind out of the east , around 10mph with gusts to twenty.
I’m thinking float n jig . Figured that might be easier on the neck .
I grab a rod that I had setup for a float N jig , a 6’6” St Croix Triumph light action paired with a Shimano Nasci 500 reel and two pound Floroclear.
The jig was a 4mm tungsten bead jig with chenille collar and an olive mini trout magnet .
I got to the Town pond around 2:30 and decided to fish the east side , hoping the wind would help with casts . It did , but the east side is 80% shaded and the wind felt like a knife to my sore neck .
Thirty minutes later, I moved to the sunny end of the east side where I caught my one and only fish of the day .
A nice little bluegill that almost made the seven inch mark .
I tried the wind blown west side of the pond , but it was getting close to three thirty, the sun was already getting low and my neck was bothering me .
I headed home to my heat pad .
It was nice to get out , even if it was a pain .
