Ok, I know I'm early but I thought that since I was thinking about it, I might as well post it. I figure it might also take a while to meet the right people.
Since I got bit by the Lake Ontario bug and its lure of salmon, trout and walleye, I have been reading, experimenting and buying new gear...I even my traded in my Lund that was only 2 years old. This forum has been a great source of information.
The one thing that I noticed is that it would be easier to fish the Big "O" with someone else. I have always fished the St. Lawrence on my own but the Lake is a different animal.
So why am I posting? Here's the kicker...I'm particular. I'm not hard to get along with but there are things that i just can't stomach.
-Gear and garbage should be put away: If I have to jump over gear to get to a rod, it's a problem. No one should have to pickup someone elses garbage.
-It's not a charter: if the person is not paying for the opportunity, help out.
-Show up on time: Time on land is time lost fishing. If i'm going fishing, I'm the guy that will show up early even if the launch time is 4 AM.
-Gas money: I'm not asking to share the boat payments but offering gas money goes a long way.
-Respect the boat: Gear track is not a place to jamb a pop can while lures are being changed.
-Knives don't mix with upholstery: I wouldn't leave a kitchen knife on a couch...leave the fillet knife at the cutting board station (there's one on the boat)
-I'm not the best fisherman but i love to fish: i'm not here to compete with those on the boat...
Alright, now that my boat pet peeves are out of the way, who am I?
-I'm the guy at a gathering that everyone thinks is an *** because he is not socializing. I don't need to talk all the time and hate gatherings. I'm straight forward and don't like beating around the bush. Don't get me wrong, I like to joke around. I live in Chesterville and usually fish out of Morrisburg when not heading out to Quinte and Lake "O".
The boat:
2021 Kingfisher 2025 Escape (22 foot aluminum)
full soft top and back drop curtain
200 hp, 20 hp kicker, ulterra electric motor
2 solix units
fishhawk
2 optimum downriggers
2 planer masts
downrigger and trolling rods
There's a couple of guys that I fish with once or twice per year (their famillies get in the way of their fishing time). I am looking for others who are afflicted by the same fishing sickness but who can make it out more often.
Can you stomach the decription above?
