Hi everyone!

I'm Christine, frozenfire's (Anthony's) girlfriend. I'm 23 and will be graduating from the University of Toronto this summer. If there's two things about us that we have in common, it's a passion for pet keeping and the outdoors. Anthony introduced me to the world of fishing four years ago, shortly after we got together. At first, I wasn't quite sure how much I would like the sport but the more trips I went on, the more I enjoyed it. Of course dating someone who fishes at any opportunity he gets means that I get to go often as well . My favourite types of fish to catch are crappies, but it's also what I'm used to. This year I'm quite excited for Pike. I still have a lot to learn and so far, it's been quite the enjoyment!

Hey Christine, nice to see Anthony's significant other here! Congrats on graduating from U ot T!

I remember reading a few reports from Anthony where he mentioned that you were fishing with him. He's lucky to have a GF that enjoys fishing and the outdoors!

Are you guys going for Crappie soon? Be sure to let us know how you make out!

Welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, BTW do you want Anthony's prize for top 5 poster? I can mail it to you if you agree to not let him use it! I can gaurantee you that he'll be jealous. Muaaahhaaaaaaaa!!! PM me your mailing addy.

Brought to you by the wonder of copy 'n paste! I'm just too tired from a somewhat easy days work.
Gonna hit the shower. Too personal? Maybe. Relative to this post? Somewhat. Made you read so far? I sure did. Now read on!

My apologies if I have posted in the wrong sub-forum.

Hi guys!
No one in the family except my uncle casts a line. He lives so far away that I never get to see him much.
I've only ever gone fishing twice in my life so far. Both times with my uncle.
No one else cares to fish so time dragged on...

Now things are about to change!
I've finally gotten my own car and the world is finally my oyster! Oh, sweet FREEDOM!

*ahem* back on topic.
So now that I can fish all I want most whenever I want I started looking up the different ways to fish, reels, rods, etc.
darn, there is a lot I need to learn, even some of the basics seem daunting!
I was looking for a few local ponds in the GTA to fish at when I stumbled upon a site and say a post that linked me here.
It was meant to be I tell you! A sign from above! (or some place far,far away )

So what I want to say is hello! I hope to be well part of this rich GTA community board and promise to make my posts as lively as I can!


**Just got my conservation fishing license a few days ago.
*** Has no gear except an awful spinning reel, some 100yards of 8lb line, a few bobbers, hooks that look too big and some YUM walleye grub (bought it in the excitement of finally being able to fish on my own, lol. I know...)
****Looking to buy a decent combo for a beginner. Looking to spend $40-60. Will spend more as I get more knowing of the hobby.

Congrats on the car! I remember when I got my first car... wow I did a lot of fishing for sure. If you're looking for GTA ponds, you just hit the jackpot! You'll understand what I mean once you see the GTA reports section... That's how we got started here.

We've already talked via PM, but welcome again!

You didn't tell me your mailing address. Shoot that over to me so I can get your welcome gift out to you.

Cheers!

Hhahaha...she outfishes me all the time.
Have you seen the pic where she's holding up her huge bowfin from the islands?

[openfire]

Wow, not only does she enjoy fishing with you, she actually out-fishes you!

Next thing you know, she'll be dragging you out to go fishing!

[frozenfire]

She's been trying to get me to bring her crappie fishing lately. Maybe sometime this week or weekend.

I told her that she could start posting reports here. Of course since we both fish together, we're not going to post the same report twice. I'll only post when she doesn't want to or when I actually end up going fishing without her!
She's the one with the camera and takes majority of the pics anyways

Hello everyone!

My name is Jennifer and I enjoy going fishing with my Dad. I am interested in learning more about how the fishing is out in Ontario, as I currently live in Sooke, BC and plan on doing some travel fishing trips. I have a website about fishing knots that you may want to check out. I look forward to being an active member of this community. If there's anything I can do to lend a hand, just let me know.

Hi Nate, Welcome to Ontario Fishing Forums!

What fishing clubs do you belong to if you don't mind me asking?

Dare I ask what a "fishing whore" is?

I got your PM, welcome wagon gift on it's way!

Cheers!

I belong to the West Toronto Bass Masters and Waterloo Wellington Club. I also belong to a Californian Bass fishing Club.
As far as the fishing whore. It means I'll drop whatever I am doing to go fishing
