No Fish

[mini moe]

Has anyone seen many shad on the shad cam this season? I haven't seen very many at all. Maybe I just missed the prime run or I'm just not looking at the right time but I'm not seeing shad or anything else. Last year I saw eels,catfish,lampreys,bass, and all kinds of shad. This year only about 6 or 8 shad out of a whole lotta looking.

I spoke too soon Jamie and Ken, there's shad all over the shad cam now. You mentioned me being old, you got that right. I was coming up this coming weekend but I had a check up on my abdominal aneurysm a couple of days ago and it had grown, so now I have to have surgery, next week maybe. The bummer is: I was having a stress test to determine how fit I was for the surgery and they found blockage near the old ticker. So I guess if I had gone on my trip, I may have not made it back, especially sense you aren't supposed to lift much when you have an aneurysm. Anyway I plan to bonce back and be fishing before too long. Y'all catch some for me.

Best to both of you when you go for surgery and check ups.
Be sayin a prayer for you all in curch this mornin.
Tight lines.

Good luck to both of you. On one of the Soprano episodes, Tony Soprano says sarcasticly, ¨Ain´t no cure for life¨ The writers hit the nail on the head.

Shad Cam (http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/fishing/shadcam/pop.asp?pop=3) There you go.ReddD. As for going all out... I had lung surgery in the 80's and my wife ask the surgeon if I could do normal things in the outdoors and he said go on and live your life and not to worry about what can happen. That's pretty much the way I was seeing it, go hell bent, all out, but they say they can repair the aneurysm and then I can go pretty much all out. Thanks BB and Ken for the prayers and good luck, and Jamie, I know you, you'll be fishing out of your casket.
