Tall 1 Member Registered: 05/02/03 Posts: 10504	I was wondering if anyone ever hears from: CSimone... How's he doing? How about Chris in CT? Hoppy? Tiderunner or Goose? Don P?

Mitch P. Registered: 05/04/01 Posts: 22484	csimone ... cwood could speak more to it. But I think he blew his illness out of proportion and burned bridges with quite a few people. Chris in CT ... He rubbed some guys the wrong way, but I always liked him and enjoyed the few times we fished together. I think the whole concept about talking about fishing online stopped appealing to him. I called him about two years ago and spoke with him briefly and that was it. Jighead might have more on him. Don P. ... he's still here, popping in the classifieds every now and then. For whatever reason, he's not a "paid" guy. Perhaps he actually doesn't have the time he once had on his hands when he was burning up the forum with multiple posts per day. No clue about the other guys. Maybe Blaine knows? What about Kapt? Guy vanished from CTF. If this ice season doesn't take shape, I'm banking on the next time I see him will be the Winter Banquet in 2013.

jonh FUBO Registered: 03/23/02 Posts: 11039	I bumped into Steve Hopkins (Tiderunner) at Mystic aquarium last year. I think he said he didn't even put his boat in the water last summer, and doesn't have much time to fish. I forgot to ask about Goose.

Mitch P. Registered: 05/04/01 Posts: 22484	He got married, had a kid, and took on a kid from the wife's previous relationship. Instant family. He's also into his band. I think he's got a full plate. He'll probably surface at the next winter banquet, though.

Steve actually stopped in the shop last week It was great to see him again... As you said, he hasn't fished much. His boat hasn't been wet in over 3 years. He and Sue are busy raising their grand daughter which has really changed things for them both. I was HORRIFIED to hear that he has taken up golf Golf??? GOLF??? One of the BEST fishermen this state has ever seen is now golfing??? I thought I was going to throw up. Goose is still fishing but not as much as he used to, he stops in from time to time. He works at DMV in Enfield I believe...

Tall 1 Member Registered: 05/02/03 Posts: 10504	Good stuff. I agree, Steve is one of the best. It sounds like he got burned out on fishing or something. He taught me how to load a bomber and was helpful in teaching me about the river striper run.

buckcall Member Registered: 04/08/03 Posts: 7701	DonP just bought a new house and between that and the kids have him pretty busy. Chris in ct is doing good and like Mitch said...He lost his interest in internet fishing, but gets out once in a while..Not nearly like he use to. He is doing well from what i got out of him the last time we talked and updates from JoeG Csimone...well I'm very said to say that the monkey jumped on his back and he lost it. Hopefully one day he can make the change in his life that he needs. Before this thing got ahold of him. He was tons of fun to fish with and BS on the phone with..Even though he hated ice fishing he'd always come meet me when i was hitting up candlewood on the hardwater. I pray that one day he can turn it around. For his kids sake anyway.

You can take what you want from life......As long as you give a little Back. "We never get over the fishing fever, it's a delightful disease and thank the lord there is no cure".
