Kinda fitting that the dudes name is Senor Insano.

Our very own Jamie, "Crazyhook" is an adept at that sport.

Craig-just curious are you the same who worked for Bob on Real Fishing?

[craigdritchie]

Hi Darsky

 

Yup. I worked for Real Fishing for about 10 years, and was assistant editor at Outdoor Canada for a while prior to that. I also wrote for Ontario Out Of Doors and some other magazines for about 9 or 10 years, starting in the late 70s.

 

Out of the fishing industry altogether now. I quit partly because I felt burned out (every time I went fishing, it felt like I was going to work), but mainly because there's just no money in it.

Good catch Darren. Nice to kinda/sorta meet you Craig.

Wow, and I thought it was exciting getting a 12 lb pike into a canoe!

I was almost involved in the "glacial surfing" link on that site a couple weeks ago.

An iceburg collapsed beside our boat and we had to high tail it to get away from the wave.

Jocko - I hear ya! Not sure I would want to bring something like that into a kayak with me. Or a ship, for that matter.

 

Roy - nice to kinda/sorta meet you too!

Have you been doing some local newspaper work since?

 

Name seems familiar from the Burlington Post I think.

I'mHooked - Could be, I don't write that much any more and haven't done newspaper work in a long time, but some of the stuff I do publish seems to wind up all over the place. I just gave up trying to keep track.

That's hysterical, yes it must be a slow news day, ever notice how most news headlines today are about something extremely trivial? It's shameful, but at least somewhat entertaining.
