New to the board

[Streamerguy]

Hello All,

 

 

New to the boards and wanted to say hello to all of you fine anglers out there.

I have been lurking this site for sometime now and have really enjoyed all the report's, pics

conversations and overall attitude of the members here,I am impressed with the wealth of

knowledge and information,always willing to share,excellent job and site.

 

My first experience with fishing was when i was 11 yrs old and went on vacation with

my family back home to paspebiac,Quebec (i was born in bonaventure,Quebec but lived here

in niagara falls ,Ontario since i was 2 months old) Mom had me when she was on vacation,

Well my grandpops would take me out every morning by 7am and leave me on the pier and by

noon he would bring me something to eat and then pick me up around dinner time,this was

the best fishing ive ever had to date 24 flounder in 1 day.(still havent seen numbers

like that)

After that i more or less stopped fishing when i hit my teens to chase girls,hang

with friends,play sports(mostly hockey).

 

Back in march /06 i fractured my tibia plateau and had knee surgery to repair it

(5 screws,steel plate and a 3inch donor bone to do the trick),the doc told me

"no weight bearing for 3 months" after the 3 months my left leg lost alot of muscle and

mass,my sport playing days are over...so i needed something to do,get out of the house,

something that i could do standing for a few hours a day to work the muscles in my leg,

well that's when i decided to start fishing again.But wait i have no fishing gear at all,

(except for the old tackle box i had when i was a kid)so off to the tackle shop and

buy a rod and reel combo,line,hooks,sinkers etc...oh and most importanly SENKO'S

 

 

Within a year and half,I now own 5 rods and have more tackle than i can use

(fishing is very addicting,lol)...I also had more luck in the fish species and PB

this year IN /08,so i would like to show you all a few pics

Yes, i would concur with reefrunners statement. Think the first couple of fish are considered white bass.

That's a white bass. Unless you are fishing fairly close to salt water, I wouldn't think you would be seeing many striped bass.

Thank-you for the correction, white bass is it then........like i said before they have a beautiful chrome to them and are alot of fun to catch,caught 4 of them and all were chrome & very clean fish and all released.

 

cheers
