Back In the Game

[Heretic]

Hello there bassfishin.com members,
Just thought id introduce myself after lurking for a long while. My names Corey, im 19(near 20) and live in ontario canada. When i was but a wee boy(lol) my mom always used to take me and my sister out fishing. Id say we all fished as a family for about 2-3 seasons, before life got in the way and fishing was forgotten. Just recently I got reintroduced to fishing by a good friend I work with. I must say im glad I learned most of the basics when I was a lot younger. I jumped back in with passion. I bought a Quantum Recon IM6 combo, and let the baitmonkey go free. Iv caught a nice amount of bass this year, have had trips that have produced 15 or so in a day, half of which where at least a foot or longer. Im still hunting for my first real lunker. Biggest iv caught this year so far was roughly 3lbs(poopy scale). Iv heard from friends around town that fall is a good time to catch a trophy so im ready to get out and do some fall fishing. All that being said, I look forward to talking with all of you guys, iv already learned a lot from lurking around the forums and look forward to asking lots of questions lol
Enclosed are some pictures of some of the fish iv caught this year.

16" just under 2lbs caught at a local gravel pit on a slurpies brand 5" dip-stick worm.


Caught at a HUGE gravel pit, was around 3lbs, didnt get a measurement. The reason its covered in grass/gravel is it snapped my line once out of the water and flopped a bit poor lil guy. Caught on a Slurpies 5" dipstick worm.



14" pulled out of local gravel pit

Well, First off, welcome to the forum. second, watch out for CRAZY people. thirdly, the first fish looks like the ones I get out of my pond, skinny! except mine are onyl about 10 inches long...

anyways, You'll learn a lot here, I know I did. I joined this forum when I got really into bass fishing, bought my first baitcaster, and spent over $500 dollars this summer on equipment and tackle. The guy's here know a ton (not me though ) and can answer any question you might have.

Bassin: Skinny sucker but he sure did put up a fight, and as for money spent on gear...iv saved all my receipts gonna calculate it up at the start of winter..i estimate im at around $400-500 and the year isnt over yet lol.

Zooker: Im just a little odd and crazy so there shouldnt be any problems . Glad to finally talk to yah, have gotten a lot of info from your post already while lurking.

Lizard: Thanks for the welcome and yes...it will be a sad time this winter, might try some ice fishing, go up somewhere good for a day.

I like the hat, Hatebreed is in my cd player in the garage right now.
While I don't live there I am glad they finally opened a Boston Pizza on Wellington Rd. in London, it's hard to beat their Meateor and Bacon Double Cheeseburger pizzas. I do spend a fair amount of time there, recently just driving through on my way to Toronto.
Anyway despite the short season there are lots of good places over there. Our club is finished fishing Saint Clair for the year, but next year hit me up for the dates and you are welcome to join us.

Fisher02: Thanks for the compliment, and there shall be plenty more pictures to follow
Brushhog:thanks for the welcome lol

Bender: Fellow metalhead eh:-) i got that hat when hatebreed came through london, craziest mosh pit iv ever been a part of lol. As for boston pizza, never actually been out yet, might hafta give your recommendation a try sometime. Appreciate the offer to come out with you guys, just might take you up on it, should have issues with my car straighened up by then sounds like itd be a good time. ill be sure to send yah a msg when the times closer

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
