Jigger Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 After you've been around awhile, you get to chatting with enough folks and one thing usually leads to another. Aside from Pike opener and Bass opener, I find that I tend to g2g with more OFNers in the fall. More often than not Bass is the main quarry. But you never know when something out of the blue might surprise you. I've fished with a pretty good number of past and present board members Bucktail, Sinker, Crazyhook, Cudz, Lucid, Highdrifter, GBW, and a few others may have passed this way or that. Thanks to all that have shared a boat, a pier, lakeside, shoreline or a riverbank. I've taken away something from each of you and, hopefully, left something in return. Just thought I'd start this thread in honour of OFNers that maybe YOUve spent some time with and maybe drop a story, or simply a pic of others that have passed your way... Thanks OFC for being the resource that brings us together! Sinker and I got out a few times in search of skis in the Kawarthas. But there was a cursed net involved that didn't help matters. Don't let him fool you, he loves catching these. Who doesn't? Lucid enjoys slowing down the pace and really picking spots apart. Was out with him this past bass opener and he put on an absolute clinic! Sure hes known as a T.O. pike guy, but hes a self-admitted bass addict. Highdrifter joined me last Thanksgiving for a day up in Haliburton. I owed him one after getting skunked the last time he was in my boat. He brought a friggin banana on board. Guess what? As soon as I made him throw it overboard we erased the skunk that had been dogging us that day too! He did ok for himself that day... theres a vid of this one, but I can't figure out how to embed it. So... I've been blessed to fish with Cudz a few times the last couple of years and can't thank him enough for the lessons learned. Hes the first guy to show me the dropshot technique. Even offered me a rod pre-rigged. I turned it down thinking my tube would be adequate. I got schooled. He can grow a heck of a 'stache and catches ridiculous fish... GBW and I come from a relative past. We knew each other back in highschool but never enough to go fishing. Been out a couple of times now thanks to OFC. Unfortunately for us, aside from a nice fish early on my side, fish were scarce this day until we were just about ready to go he says "I don't care if its even a perch, just let me catch one!" As if on queue... Thanks again OFNers, you're alright by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-z-out Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Was nice to fish with you on the ice a few years back. Still looking for that jig that lights up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have fished with quite a few OFC'ers since I joined back in 2006. A few of them I consider very good friends today...ones I would have never met if it wasn't for this site. I did a little thank you song for the site a few years back...anyone remember how it goes? That being said Jigger...we live what...10 minutes apart?? We have to stop saying "we should get out soon" via PM and just do it! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Have had the pleasure to fish with many here,and many I have not yet. Lots to do with time frame. CCMT (Cliff) will be the next one soon. Looking forward to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I've fished with a pile of guys/gals from this wonderfull site. Posts like this come every now and then. I have an expanding OFC Bucket List of folks I would like to fish with. Not to point anyone out.... But: Fish up north with Moosebunk Go an a Mike Borger Adventure Hit the rivers around the Sault with Tdun Go bass fishing on Simcoe with Cudz (preferabliy while he is supporting the "monkey tail beard".) Fly into the temagami with Irishfield Beat the rivers with BillM and Brian for a day Hammar some geese with Sinker Hit 6-mile for a day with Bugugli Musky hunting on LSC with some of the musky guys! The list is much longer then this.. But I don't have time right now to type it out. It's funny, becayse everytime I think of who I want to fish with from this forum, my list keep growing longer and longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I've been a very lucky guy and in the 10 1/2 years I've been hanging around this board I've had the pleasure of fishing with almost 70 different members. We've boated 100's of nice fish together and even been skunked a bunch, but we ALWAYS had a great time And I've never met an OFNer (OFCer)I didn't like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Beat the rivers with BillM and Brian for a day Anytime bud. Hammar some geese with Sinker That ones very close to the top of my list. Ok number 3 closer to 2.LOL Maybe we can hook up and get him to get us out. The very first OFC member I hooked up was Wolfville (Randy) When I fish with Lew,we have a good understanding. I fish for bass,and leave his muskie alone.

You forgot to mention it was damn cold that day... Again, let's get out and get out SOON! TKSGIV weekend is out but others have a small chance due to kids hockey. Lots of time left for it to get cold again! Lol Was nice to fish with you on the ice a few years back. Still looking for that jig that lights up lol Pretty cool seeing that ski swim by the hole! You can have that jig. It needs a new home... I did a little thank you song for the site a few years back...anyone remember how it goes? That being said Jigger...we live what...10 minutes apart?? We have to stop saying "we should get out soon" via PM and just do it! LOL I remember that little ditty! Pretty much like NAW said. Every once in awhile a thread like this pops up, this little oasis being what it is. Im hoping weve already got the ball rolling for the fall I caught wood with Terry and Wanye. Not really what i had in mind with this thread. Not that theres anything wrong with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormdunker Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I enjoyed the M&G on Callandar Bay last January. Met many wonderful OFNers that day. Hey Nipfisher any plans for a M & G this coming hardwater season. I left Sudbury in July, now working in Fort McMurray so my time is limited to keep up to date on the board.

Fished with Sinker at Pigeon as well. Have fished with many from this forum just by running into them at Toronto Islands. Mostly about 7-8 yrs. ago. Fished some with SNAG, FHR, Highdrifter, Patrick GG, Dude,Lucid, etc... A picture of Lucid about 7 years ago this was mid-March. Dude with nice pike late March about 9 yrs ago. Ran into Mikeh at Pickering outflow 6 yrs.ago in winter. He helped me with this musky from Pigeon. Not biggest but healthy looking musky. Even got out with BillM for Rocky Saugeen specks about 5 yrs.ago Never attended G2G or anything but still met plenty of OFNers. Every person i have met from forum were exceptional, friendly folk.

Spiel Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Wow, if I had to throw a number out there for the number of guys I've fished with and socialized with through this forum it would be well over a hundred. I won't even try to list them all as my memory is not what it once was and I'd be upset if I forgot to mention even one. I will state however that everyone of them I'd be happy to spend time with again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
