New Job, Big Fish and Getting Married! HELP

[The Urban Fisherman]

Hey all,

 

It's been a while for me as I've been swamped with work, getting egnaged and going fishing. Been trying to read as many reports as possible and I'm glad that many of you are getting out. I'll try to make this short and sweet....

 

First off, I decided to take my boat fund and spend it on a rock. I proposed to my girlfriend on May 28th, 2007 in Niagara Falls. Now I need some help!!! We really want to get married at a cottage with a large property, or maybe an INN on the lake. If anybody has any leads on a Cottage, or INN that might work for a wedding please let us know! She's been searching the internet for weeks and hasn't come up with much.

Secondly,

I'm proud to announce that I've left my editing job at Technicolor Toronto to work full time for Dave Mercer Outdoors Inc. I've been doing some editing work for Dave over the past couple of months and he's recently asked me to join the Facts of Fishing team as a full time employee. Working with Dave hasn't only been a pleasure but huge learning experience. I've learned more about fishing over the past few weeks than you can imagine. We recently spent a week in northern Manitoba, where Dave wet a line with this years contest winners. We were also able to shoot some walleye fishing, and on our down time from shooting I was able to sneak in a little fishing of my own.

 

Here's my Manitoba Master Angler Walleye.

 

 

And my largest pike ever - 37 inches

 

 

And Thirdly,

 

My father was down with his boat for a week so I took him out to Scugog where we hoped to catch our first Muskies. We tossed big bucktails and spinners all morning. We caught a few OOS largemouth while trying for muskie, but what suprised me the most was when my Dad got a hit on a giant muskie spinner and pulled a nice Walleye out of the weeds!

We missed one Muskie which hit right at the boat and wasn't hooked for more than 10 seconds, but we had a great day together out on the water anyways.

 

Thanks for reading my post and Good Fishin' everybody

 

Cheers,

Urban

Congratulations!!!! Sounds like you have been a busy man!! Those are some very nice fish!! Maybe the spinner bait explains why I can never catch a walleye in Scugog LOL Wish you all the best in these new adventures!!!!

Looks like a nice job and girl, however, a man should never give up his slush fund for anything other than what is was destined for in the first place.

[Bitsmith2k]

Well after weeks of hearing you talk about it it's nice to see she said yes. We miss ya here at the shop, well not really but it seemed like the right thing to say. LOL! It looks like the new job is going well and yes I'm jealous. Thanks for the up date and keep us posted as much as you can. And when your not too busy fishing all those exotic places, give me a shout and we'll see if we can't go out and get a few. Thanks for the post and great pics!
