Well it looks like my saltwater fishing had be derailed for a few months. Mama said I could go with all the new out about Vibrio Vulnificus. She said I was taking a chance on my life every time I hit the salt. And with my immunosuppressant medications I take after my transplant I got a more than a 90% chance of getting the stuff. Life sucks but I have to agree with her. It’s not worth the chance. She work hard and I put here through a lot and a lot of people worked hard to keep me around. So I think me giving up a few fish for a while isn't that much to give up. I don’t think there is a time I don’t have a cut or scrape on my hands. I haven’t wade fished that much and when I did I had to say it was on my mind most of the time. I hate to say it but I’m out of the salt till the water cools off. Which isn’t what I want but I have grand kids I want to teach how to fish and I can’t do that six foot under or without hands or arms.
So you guys that are out there and hitting the salt it be sure to carry some bleach and something to put on those cut and scrapes. Losing something off you body isn’t worth a few fish. I know some of you thing this is a 2% way of thinking when it come to fishing but I have gotten a 2nd chance at life and not going to lose it. I guess I see you on the lakes. Here are some links if you haven’t looked in to this stuff. I can wait on those flounder if I have to.
