Extended Hiatus

Hey all,

I apologize for my absence since July.  I had been waiting for picture in order to write up my report on our cottage trip to Buckhorn, but could not get the pic I wanted from Kakka.  I think he was jealous that I caught the big bass of the week.  We did not fish much after our August cottage trip as Musky and I had recently moved into our new townhouse in Milton, and were busy settling in. 

Anyhow, in October, I had a bleed in my eyes, rendering my partially blind.  To those who do not know, i am diabetic, and had been suffering from a complication of diabetes called retinal neuropathy.  Essentially, the blood vessels in my were damaged due to the diabetes, causing the eye to generate new weaker blood vessels which are prone to bleeding.  I have had bleeds in my eyes since before I was married, but this was different.  I had bleeds in both eyes, making it difficult to see.  Imagine looking at everything through frosted glass.  That was what it was like for me for a little while.

For obvious reasons, fishing was not high on my priority list.  Anyhow, some surgery (pics to come) and with the warming weather, fishing is again on the mind. 

More to come, including a recap of my goals from last year, as well as the cottage trip to Bockhorn, and a slew of new fish recipes.

Hugs and European Kisses
