Elnuts, not sure how the recovery is coming along but if waiting another week or two will help lessen the chances of reinjuring yourself I would wait. The best bite is still 2 weeks off. Lake is still turning over in sections, I mean 3 lbs was leading the smalljaw tourney after the first day I was told. Had some friends down there this weekend fishing some good stuff and never boated a smallie. Me personally, I'm going to give it a couple more weeks before I get fired up, but no fishing since may, and if your healthy, I can understand rolling down that way. Either way, give em hell.
