My Florida winter vacation has been great and bad. Had to return to NC in March. Mom passed away. She had been in a local nursing home for several years. It is an indescribable loss but at 96, bed fast, unable to recognize family members most of the time and no chances of conditions ever improving we knew it was coming . We have accepted the facts that she is no longer suffering. Still there is never a way to completely prepare for the loss.
Got a lot of work done on renovation of the winter vacation house.
Finally found (made) time to get out bass fishing near Hollister, Fla. Have been out morning and evening every day but a couple over the last two weeks. Having a blast. Have been fishing worms rigged weedless, dragging them over and around lilly pads on several local lakes. Talk about an adrenaline rush when those hogs explode up thru the pads and smack that worm. Ain't nuttin' better or more fun. Have about 20 more days to "endure" this excitement before returning north for the summer. Haven't come close to breaking the world record but happy just the same. Perhaps when I get back to NC I'll find a place to upload some photos and post on the forum.
Hard decision head to NC for turkey hunting of remain in Fla for more bass fishing. Decisions, decisions, decisions. . I've become a firm believer in warm winter weather. It's already up in the high 80's but that's a lot more acceptable than 5 degrees.
Ya'll be safe out there.
