Oryx Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Good Day, I just joined up and wanted to introduce myself I have been enjoying the topics on the forums and some of the humour that is present. it is nice to see a laid back forum with a vast knowledge base. A little bit about me. Live in Pickering, I Just bought my first boat, a little older, but new to me. I love fishing, but am no good at it. I am originally from the Picton area and have NEVER fished the Bay of Quinte. Looking forward to reading alot more posts and learning from others. Cheers J
ccmtcanada Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Welcome to the board!! You will like it here...lots of knowledge for sure. If you get to know people, before you know it you'll have new fishing partners as well. I have met many on here who I now consider great friends and I have learned so much from them. We like pictures...so if you have any...post them! Start out with your boat maybe! Cliff
grimsbylander Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 I love fishing, but am no good at it. Oh man, I was hoping you could help us!! Welcome aboard!! You'll get good solid advice here Oryx.
Oryx Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome. I would love to post some pics of the boat, but it is sitting in storage until the 29th in Deseronto. Until then, no fishing or boating for me. The boat itself is a 93' Fisher SV 3 SC. 17.5 ' with a 90hp Merc, 9.9 kicker, a craptacularly old motorguide trolling motor on the bow and the fishfinders make the pong game look like hi-def. It is fun though! And beats the hell out of shore fishing.

Next year I'll invest the $$ maybe $$$$ on a better unit.
ccmtcanada Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Craptacular? Pong?? LOL You'll fit right in here!! If the trolling motor trolls, and the fishfinder finds bottom then it's all good!
fishnsled Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 You can still get Pong??!! Where!!?? If all is working on the boat - all is well. Welcome aboard.
Oryx Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 Oryx like the bike?? That's right. Was my first racing Mountain Bike, liked the name so much, I use it for pretty much all my forum handles.
misfish Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Welcome aboard. Nothing wrong with that vessel.Fisher is a good boat. You can still get Pong??!! Where!!?? LOL Yep,walk to the fridge,grab a cold one and be back before the ball was returned to you.
grimsbylander Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 You can still get Pong??!! Where!!?? Tried beer pong?? from what I remember, its fun.
Headhunter Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Welcome! Quinte eh? Well it's a good thing you never fished it cause everyone knows, there's no fish in that body of water... especially Pickereyes! Lookin forward to your posts! HH
Oryx Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 Welcome aboard. Nothing wrong with that vessel.Fisher is a good boat. Thanks for the vote of confidence in the boat, As the interwebs have sweet nothing for information on them. The only thing I do know is that it was built by Brunswick (Mercury) and they sold the brand to Tracker (Bass Pro) in 1999.
adolson Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 the fishfinders make the pong game look like hi-def. It is fun though! And beats the hell out of shore fishing. Is it a Humminbird LCR4ID!?! That's what I have! Red and black Tetris bricks FTW
Oryx Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 Is it a Humminbird LCR4ID!?! That's what I have! Red and black Tetris bricks FTW Not even close, pure greyscale here. Humminbird Platinum ID
Rod Caster Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Welcome aboard. Enjoy the boat... it beats a sportspal canoe in many ways. Cheers.
mercman Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Welcome Oryx. From what i've seen, you will fit right in Sounds to me like a nice Vessel you have.Comfort when fishing is top priority, and they are a good comfortable boat to fish out of. PAUL
crappieperchhunter Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Welcome. Come on in sit down, relax and enjoy. Good group here and newcomers are always welcome. Good luck when you get your boat in the water.
HTHM Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Why is everyone being so welcoming????? The guy has to pay his dues first, don't you remember what it was like for you?!! Just because he sounds like everyone of us, "Not good at fishing, but I like it" and is able to turn a phrase very well, apparently, does not mean we should stand here with open arms and just let him into the group. I have HAD it with guys who have a sense of humour being welcomed like this. Heck, it took YEARS for me to be accepted, (and I'm not sure if I am yet). OH BTW - welcome to the board, you gonna fit right in! I LOVE the PONG line - classic! The best piece of advice I have ever heard regarding fishing - "If your hooks not in the water, you're not gonna catch a thing" Good luck and have fun here.
adolson Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 "If your hooks not in the water, you're not gonna catch a thing" I keep telling my cousin that, and he wonders why he still hasn't caught a bass.
Pickeral eater Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 Welcome! I myself am new and received a warm welcome as well. I'm pretty new to the sport and am picking up lots of info from other members. Tonnes of knowledge, experience and tips on this site. Enjoy Bill
Oryx Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Posted August 18, 2011 It is gonna be tough on my wife (banker) very soon. I work in Woodbridge 3 Mins from BassPro, and they are opening up a Sail beside my workplace....our mortgage will never be paid off!
