the fishing community has lost one of the great ones

[smally21]

pardon my asking, was this SLYATV from the simcoe message board?

[Terry]

yes sir it is

[Disspatcher]

pardon my asking, was this SLYATV from the simcoe message board?

The one and only.

[fishermccann]

Yes it was, and he WILL be missed.

[smally21]

that is a shame sly was a very helpful member of that community and very generous with his knowledge.

[12footspringbok]

Only met the man in person once, but what an impression. Truely great guy will be missed by many.

[Fisherman]

A very knowledgeable angler with a heart as big as the sky, a very sad moment for those who knew him and the LSMB.

[misfish]

RIP

 

Like said,one hell of a nice guy.

 

Prayers to his family.

[capt bruce]

Yes we should all have prayers for his family. When I first thought about summer charters for simcoe lakers he was the guy that taught me the where and how , never held back . A great guy and a great family man , he will be missed by many . rest in peace bro , you earned it . B

[spoon]

wow, I'm shocked. Very sad day.

 

Rest in peace Shane.

[SylvanOwner]

Only knew the man from reading the Lake Simcoe board but clearly a real class act. Rest in peace.

[Spiel]

I'm truly saddened by this news.

 

While I never met Shane we had talked via the net on a number of occasions.

I had hoped to share my boat with him one day on Simcoe but sadly that opportunity has now passed.

 

My sincerest condolences to Shane's family and his many friends.

[Ron]

It is always terrible news to hear when a fellow angler passes away. I'm sure Shane is now into the trophies of Perch, Lakers and Whitiefish, all day long.

Rest in peace dear friend, rest in peace.

[cityfisher]

Very sad.... great guy.. Had the pleasure of fishing with him a couple times on simcoe.

 

RIP

[ravinerat]

~~~One of the best bud I've known and will be sadly missed.

[buckster]

Very sad news.... Him and his good deeds on and off the ice will be greatly missed.

 

 

[danbouck]

I never met him but heard nothing but great things about him

 

condolences to the family

[misfish]

Maybe add when you met Shane.

 

Although I only met him a few times on the water, both hard and soft,I still remember the first time. It was at a Simcoe board ice fishing M&G. The Simcoe board had put out an open invite to the OFC group to meet up, out off the 7th line. Here I got meet others like, Simcoe Bob and Big Jim ,Rybak,Chevy and many others. It was close to the finish of the day and here comes this bad ass 4x4 from the south/east. I thought to myself,what a crazy MTF. This little guy jumps out and is greeted by many. I was more interested in the truck then the driver. I thought he was a little off. Boy was I wrong.He was just one of those ,,,,,,,Lets say, one of those Canadian redneck guys.

 

The last time I seen him was with Andy out for some whities in my old bass boat.Remember that Andy.You knew Sly was out there.

RIP SLY

 

 

[ch312]

i met him up at a lake simcoe message board meet and greet probably 5 years ago or so. although we didnt talk much it was very easy to tell from online conversations that he was a great guy and would help anyone.

 

RIP

[pikehunter]

I'm very saddened by the news. Like Spiel I had always intended to visit him on Simcoe or drop in so I could meet him in person. We had conversed many times a few years ago on the internet or email and sadly I have let the opportunity to meet with him pass. Someday Shane we may have the chance to meet spiritualy.

 

All the best to the family and I'm sure your spirit will fish Simcoe's waters for ever more. R.I.P.

[Sinker]

I'm getting sick of losing friends to cancer.

 

Sly was a great guy. First time I met him, we were stuck in a truck out on simcoe. There was a foot and a half of snow, in a white out, with 6" of slush. NASTY. We had all the gear to get unstuck, but Shane stuck it out with us and made sure we got to shore. He'd give you the shirt off his back in a blizzard......and take nothing in return..........just the kind of guy he was.

 

Another time we got up to the lake, and forgot our helmets at home. No prob, Sly hooked us up, and we got out for the day.

 

Seen him come running out of a burning ice hut one time too.........crazy bugger!!

 

You won't meet a nicer guy, with more passion for fishing.

 

A major loss to the icefishing community around lake simcoe. Full of great, real time info on conditions, and always willing to help out.

 

RIP Shane, your going to be missed by many. I'm sure there will be many great stories with your name mentioned on the ice this winter, and for many more to come!
