We were both rushed to the hospital by ambulance. After several CT scans, nothing broken or bleeding. But upon further study with MRIs my wife and I have both had to undergo neck surgeries that involved fusion, plates and screws. At this time we are both recovering from those surgeries and praying that no more are in the near future.
Needless to say, my fishing days have come to a screeching halt until further notice, from the surgeon, that is. But I have been keeping up with what is going on "through the grapevine." Most all of the waters in Central Florida for the bass population are beginning their transition. We have had extremely hot weather all the way past going into the winter season, to just beginning to have some cold fronts reach this far south. So this season's start to the spawn has been delayed. In addition, we have had significant rains that have maintained much higher than normal water levels in all of the lakes that are not controlled, and even those that are controlled contain more water than usual. Some ramps are almost leveled out to the water's edge!
Recent tournaments have had lower than usual totals weighed in, including a recent Lakeland Junior Bassmasters tournament held on Lake Kissimmee yesterday. One division only took 9.89 lbs to win, a young man named Sammyjay Acree.
