Roy Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Kinda fitting that the dudes name is Senor Insano. Our very own Jamie, "Crazyhook" is an adept at that sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darsky Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Craig-just curious are you the same who worked for Bob on Real Fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 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.

Jonny Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Gotta love the writer's humour. Wow, and I thought it was exciting getting a 12 lb pike into a canoe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Have you been doing some local newspaper work since? Name seems familiar from the Burlington Post I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozaibak1 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
