I cant remember if i introduced myself when i joined. My names Ron and I love to fish year round. Being in college the past couple years opened the door to steelheading which turned out to be something I quite enjoy. Can't wait to hook one on the fly. Growing up around Lake St. Clair has embedded a love for muskie, smallmouth and even pike into my soul

I never would have guessed your name is Dave!

 

*edit to add* Just ask Brian where to go get some of the best food is in the older part of Barrie. LST&C, right B.

Hi. My name’s Nick, and I have bad grammer.

Hey their you meant spelling?

[Matt Janes]

Hey All,

 

Great thread. As the nickname suggests my name is Matt (I couldn't think of anything clever when I signed up). I live in Ottawa with my wife and 3 year old son. Grew up fishing for Smallmouth at our family cottage but I have recently taken up an interest in walleye fishing. I have been blessed with a wife who loves to fish as much as I do and lately she's been bugging me to try musky fishing. I have only been a member of this forum for a month or so and in that short time our fellow members have helped me with my outboard and most importantly saved me 25000 when they convinced me not to buy a brand new legend boat and instead go with something similar used, which is exactly what I did!

[Leecher]

I've done mine back in 2008 under a different displayname when I joined...

Welcome all of you. My name is Edwin and All I have to say is that this site the best site I have joined. Wonderful community.

[Jer]

Well I'll get in on the action:

 

My name is Jer and have been a member for longer than I can remember. I grew up in Mississauga until at the age of 27 (16 1/2 years ago), I gave my head a shake and moved to the Kawarthas.

 

Mostly a bass fisherman but will fish for most species at times, have really been enjoying our new ice-fishing opportunities around here the last few years as well.

[Harrison]

Hey their you meant spelling?

 

Whitty.

 

Phil, used to be sponge, learnt a lot fishing with many of the best and on the water whenever I had a second. Love all species except catfish, not 100% sure why, but for some reason they remind me of an ex.

 

Have two lil monkeys 4 and 6 that are my pride and joy now. They eat up my fishing time, but I am way ok with that.

 

Been around here since OFC was a fading spec in Mr. TJ's cranium and you had to fire up the ole Commodore 64 then decide between OFC or Burning Rubber.

 

Good fishing.

In my grown up life, I have become an accomplished Romance Novelist. I also model part time for my book covers. I don't fish much really, but I am a member here for research and ideas for my novels. I am working on one now.

Too funny, guys.

 

Been a member for over two and a half years...seems way longer

 

My name is Frank, but, friends have called me Frankie as long as I can remember.

Most people think the 65 signifies my year of birth, but, in actuality it is the number of years that I still need to work to retire "comfortably"

 

Love every kind of fishing! Grew up walking streams for brookies with my dad, fishing the small lakes where we camped every weekend for walleye, pike and bass. In my late teens I discovered the joy of steelheading on the rivers of Lake Huron. Did that for many years, not so much anymore. Finally....FINALLY got my own boat three years ago, but, this darn thing called work keeps getting in the way

[fishingwithbob]

My name is Lew and I like to catch Muskie and smile in pictures.

[Carp]

I've been around here a long time, although, I not online nearly as often as I used to be.

Work and family keep me pretty busy these days.

 

Been an OFC member for approx. 10 years if the memory is working right. Pretty sure I joined in 2002.

Met a whole bunch of members when we used to have regular get togethers for wings and beer.

 

Also fished with a bunch of members over the years and I can honestly say I've always had great time with all of them.

I have an OFC sticker on the back of the boat. Had people drive beside me on the hwy. and give me a thumbs up or a friendly honk. Even had people on the lake or at the dock recognize me or the sticker and start a conversation. Always great to meet new people who share my passion for the sport.

I even bumped into TJ at Casino Rama one evening after a Styx concert. (he was at the show with some buddies)

Not the first time meeting the boss, but still a nice surprise.

 

I'll fish for anything and have the gear for most species, hardwater or softwater, but my main quarry these days are salmon, walleye and the occasional panfish outing to keep the kids entertained.

 

Been fishing all my life. Forty something years now. Actually, since before I was born. Mom used to go with dad when she was pregnant with me.

 

Cheers !

Just to show what a cool site this is, i read an introduction on this page that made me PM a member. He responded and turns out its an old highschool buddy of mine. We havent seen each other in over 15yrs!

 

My names Jarred and im a plumber based out of Brooklin. I fish near Haliburton mainly for smallies but have a soft spot for LMB, Pike and Musky as well.

 

Gordy, youll be happy to know that i still have that snaredrum

 

Great idea Misfish! Thanks for starting this one up.

[Default User]

I'm proud to say I did my intro back in September last year.

Unfortunately, I dont have much to contribute - but I come on here looking for great info and tips

 

Still surprised how many people here drive Mazda 3's LOL

[ehg]

Have been around here for 9 yrs. or so in a low key way i guess. Never did a formal introduction.

During that time have met and fished with many folks here, especially the Toronto pike dudes 5-8 yrs. ago.

 

Fished all my life. From Brome Lake southeast of Montreal as a 2-4 yr. old.

To the eastern tribs around the 'Shwa where i moved as a youth.

My favorite place was Pigeon Lake where my family had place for about 25 yrs.

There i learned to love musky fishing.

 

Unfortunately due to disability, have not done very much fishing last few years but still like checking in here.

 

Wish more people would do reports. They were the heart of this site back in the day.

[davey buoy]

This is a good thread guys,let's get to know more about the rest of you!. This is a lot of fun.

[Spiel]

Well my name is Chris but all my friends have called me "Spiel" for as long as I can remember. Have also been fishing as long as I can remember.

My Dad, Grandfather and Uncle used to take me out fishing since I was knee high and I always used a fly rod, don't think I used anything else till I was about 15 years old.

Grampa was also teaching me to tie flies by the age of 6, many of his favourite patterns are still with me today, though I was told way back when that I couldn't show them to anyone.

 

At 15 I also started building my own rods which has grown far beyond anything I could have imagined at that age.

 

Been on this forum for gosh, 12 years or so and have met a great number of people, most of whom are now extremely close friends.

[jimmy v]

Hi,my name is Jimmy V, I have been reading the board for many years and feel it is time to be a member.I am originally from the niagara area moved to K-W 31 years ago.I grew up fishing in niagara when we had to put the 14 footer in the back of the truck and drive it down the old road at queenston to launch as there was no launch at that time.You could fish at the bottom of the falls and walk right to the hydro dams fromupriver or downriver.you can imagine how good and UNCROWDED the fishing was! We used to launch the boat to rig Lake O at Jordan harbor on the south side of the QEW at Campbells Marina.It was a big deal to catch walleye in Lake Erie at that time but the bass were always abundant and close to shore all year. Things change and the fishing oppurtunities are tremendous all across Ontario.From the K=W area we just get used to driving the 1.5 - 2 hours to fish almost all the great lakes and their tribs so there is always somewhere that is ON! I fish and hunt (waterfowl,deer) as much as I can.My wife understands my passion for the outdoors and has always supported my interests,yes I am very lucky.My kids are grown,I have just retired and can pursue my interests at will. I will try to have positive input on the board with reports,however my problem is my technological inadequciesLOL,this took me almost 5 minutes to do!! Anyways sorry for the long intro, happy to be a new member!

[Rod Caster]

Welcome Jimmy! Look forward to reading your input and knowledge

[Dontcryformejanhrdina]

Hey everyone!

 

 

 

My name is Christopher, I moved to Belleville about 6 years ago, grew up in the Bancroft area. I did a lot of bass fishing from shore growing up. I didn't fish much after moving down here until a couple of years ago. Bought a 14' tin boat with a 9.9 last spring and got into walleye, pike and musky fishing. I upgraded to a 16' starcraft with a 40hp tiller last fall and other than some trolling for lakers early this year I've been pretty much just focused on pike and musky. I still have a lot to learn and I'm up for fishing for anything though musky fishing really gets my blood pumping and I'm determined to get better at catching them! I still have to get around to catching some of those big quinte walleye, especially since I've never even caught a 20" walleye and I live so close to the bay!

[BillM]

Hi, my name is Bill and I like to catch black boots with my Len Thompson 5 of Diamonds when they are in the Credit. Shallow water works best!
