Former Member Updates?

I was wondering if anyone ever hears from:
CSimone...
How's he doing?

How about Chris in CT?

Hoppy?

Tiderunner or Goose?

Don P?

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.

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.

Whatever happened to slacker?

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.

Saw Hoppy post on another fishing site this past week. He's still alive and well.

Joe G. Might have insight on Chris in CT, seems Chris couldn't hack it on here? Fished with him a few times and he dropped off the face of the earth.

Kapt is busy with a new mobile 18V Margarita maker.

It was great to see BlueFox pop in a few weeks ago.

Slacker is a Ga$h..He lost his "Man Card"!!!

Don P is still around. We are going ton the keys in a few weeks...

how romantic

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...

Throw up???????

Kinda like you would if I invited you to go striper fishing in the river...

I've always said that if I had enough free time to go golfing, I'd go fishing instead... Could you see me out there on the course with lime green pants and one of those Jackie Stewart looking hats on????

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.

You need to hit the course with this guy.

Ahahaahahaahah good damn times

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.

I talked with Chris this past Wednesday he is doing good, still the same Chris.

I'm going on a cod trip with Chris (Goose) and Steve Hopkins on the 13th, They are both doing good. Like others said, Steve Doesn't fish as much as he used to. Steve taught many of us what we know about striper fishing on the CT river.

Bluefox is battling cancer right now, but still has his spirit and still making everyone laugh. You can find him on Facebook Michael Simmons .
