Nufdawg Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) Hi I'm a 58 year old guy originally from Newfoundland but now living in Onaping Falls, 35 miles north of Sudbury on Hwy 144. Moved to the Sudbury area in 1966 with my family and worked in the mines here for almost 34 years before I was forced to retire due to kidney failure in 2000. I enjoy fishing for pickerel, bass and speckies here in the north and salmon out of South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island. My fishing days are pretty much over due to nerve damage to the legs caused by kidney dialysis, still get out once in a while with friends though and I like to talk fishin'! Nice place you have, happy to be here. Edited November 24, 2007 by Nuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nufdawg Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Here's a few pics of my toy and my biggest salmon, 32 lbs. Please forgive me for the quality of some of the photos I post, they survived a house fire. My boat is a 1986 Bayliner Trophy, 24'. The salmon in this post was caught on Sept 7, forget what year it was but I'll never forget the day because it was our anniversary and I didn't remember....I was reminded when I got home though! There were at least 8 foot waves that day and I went out alone, took me about 20 minutes to bring that brute in. Any pics of salmon I post were either caught by me or friends of mine, but all out of my boat. Also I will be blocking out the faces of folks other than myself because I don't have their permission to post their pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nufdawg Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I was returning from a campfire party, after a few too many wobbly pops it was time to go sleep it off! I stepped over the side of my boat and almost stepped on this critter, not sure which one of us was shocked more! Anyway he scampered up the side and worked his way around to the bow....looks like he wanted back in eh? He jumped down on the dock after awhile and took off. I am not sure to this day if somebody (friend of mine maybe) put him in there or what, but I had spilled a box of salt on the floor earlier that day and I understand porcupines are attracted to salt. I sobered up quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTHM Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) Right now I can barely pay attention, let alone for a boat.

Nufdawg Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Might do that before next spring, it is stored in a steel building in South Baymouth behind about 20 other boats, won't be able to get near it till April or May.
