Having no friends really sucks!!!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Having no friends really sucks!!!

Post by something_fishy »

Fairly new to Ottawa, from Halifax, don't know anyone yet, friendless, no fishing buddies. :cry:

I have noone to get excited with me about fishing! :cry:

My wife hates fishing, my dogs jump out of the boat and attack the moving prop, and I can't even talk my cat into leaving the house!!!

I need fishing friends to go fishing with, I live in Ottawa, right next to Orleans..........help me.............I'm dying................... :(

Welcome, Something Fishy!

As you can see, I'm not exactly around the corner. :wink: And yet, I have managed to meet quite a few Hawk Talkers and hope to fish with many more in the future. So I just know you'll be able to have the same pleasure!

W.
Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

I'm booked up for the weekend, but we'll definitely have to hook up. I moved here from Hfx myself 2 years ago. Saskette was born and raised in the West end - you'll ove this site: every fishing spot I know in E Ontario except one is at least indirectly related to FishHawk.net
There are few problems in life which can not be solved with a well-placed, high-explosive projectile.

Mr Fishy, you've got 1600 friends you just haven't fished with yet. :D But soon enough.
Since you've got the boat, start throwing out the invites. I can all but guaranty you will never fish alone again. 8)

Welcome to the crazy house.

Finding suitable partners might be better facilitated if we all knew a little more about your fishing preferences. For example, for what species do you prefer to fish? What days are you normally available to go fishing? Do you have a preferred age bracket for your partners? Just some suggestions.

I'm an Maritimer as well (PEI) but I live in Kanata now. I'm up for a fish anytime that you feel the need for some company - just shout out!

Markus - How many times do I have to tell ya that ALPINE is THE beer from back home :lol:

Although being my Derby Captain and all I'll consider bringing you back a case when I'm home in July.

Cheers!

I hate trolling!!

Post by something_fishy »

Thats about the only type of fishing I don't do. I think its a waste of gas, hard on the motor and it's freakin boring, but that's just my opinion, no knocks to those who like doing it.
I enjoy fishing for walleye, panfish(pumpkinseed in particular), pike and bass(but only topwater)
I also enjoy fly fishing, but don't usually do it from the boat.
I keep certain types of fish once in a while, but only pumpkinseed and walleye.
I'm 30 years old and pretty much would like someone to fish with in my age bracket (late 20's to late 30's) who is mature, preferably non-smoking. I don't drink or smoke or do drugs, so I do not like to have any of it done in my presence. I don't go out fishing for extended periods of time like 4 or 5 hours, I am happy with 2 to 4 hour fishing trips, like evenings or mornings, but I defenitely am not one of those who go for a whole day.
I'm retired from the military and have all sorts of time on my hands, but I do have the job of dropping off and picking up my wife from work on weekdays, so it limits me. Evenings are fine as well as weekends, but
I can't go every weekend of course, have to put time in with the woman too.
So, if your boatless and wanting to go out on a boat and as long as you don't mind being seen in a boat that looks like it should be at the bottom of the Ottawa river, then your more than welcome to fill up the bow seat of my boat. PM me and we can set up something.

Chris
