Hello to all avid anglers out there!

Always nice to accumulate more friends who have the same passion for this sport.

A little about myself:
1. Happily married to a trained classical musician pianist wife, proud father of a 16 year old son (who does not like fishing too much) and a 19 year old daughter, who is one of the top violinist in Canada.
2. My other serious Hobby has been the Tennis sport, I practice 3-4 times a week to compete at the local club every saturday morning. Did you guys know that Rafa Nadal's other serious hobbies were golf and fishing...... If he finds the time.
3. Self employed in the picture frame and art business. Very slow these days. More time and excuse to go fishing.
4. Been fishing for at least 30 years
5. Fish both on shore or on my 16 ft boat with 85 hp engine.
6. A generalist, fish all species from Carp to Salmon.
7. Learning to fly fish this year, picked up centerpinning last year.
8. Also got the New York Fishing license this year and looking for others to join me and fish Lake Erie.


I am Hoping to fish more often this year, and meet more experienced angler, I hardly fish much within the last 2 years due to other family commitment. Prior to that, I used to be fished addictively averaging 1-3 times a month, all throughout the year. -10 degrees will not stop me from winter fishing.

My fishing success rate have gone downhill within the last 3 years. Fish less often then I wanted to. All due to increase in gas prices, unpredictable weather pattern , especially on weekends and increase in fishing pressure at many lakes close to GTA. I might also became over calculative in my fishing hobby, finding excuses to not go too often. It seemed like the more knowledge and experience I accumulated in years, the less I am willing to take a chance to fail or to be successful.

I accidentally came across this site from another angler who promoted it on his avatar.

NOW, WHO WANTS TO FISH TOGETHER SOON FOR GOBIES? I know a secret spot!
