Was over chatting with another group before I realized how bitter and uninsightful things were there most of the time. Had to join FH, MT was keeping me in stitches and at the time wolfe was the nicest "GUY" I had ever read.
Moosbunk, if I can make just one person's day a little brighter ...
When I found FH, I was actually the worse kind of lurker. I bumped into this site looking for muskie, and followed the adventures of the boys. I would check there pictures looking for any landmarks to track down some of the big girls. (Turns out there are no musky in the Rideau anyway).
Can't remember what actually led to my first post. Maybe it was the lack of eye candy, I knew this site needed more attraction than just fishing.
Markus got ahold of me on our local board. He said there was a new Great Lakes forum here. I must thank Big-0 to,if it wasn't for him pointing out how unsafe my boat is with only 1 D.Rigger I probably wouldn't be here now!
I got mauled by Bobber at the Boat show. At first I thought he was trying to sell me something. I listened to what he had to say and I later checked out the site. I loved that most of the chit chat was from local waters. I loved the site and I visit almost daily. I love where the site is today!
I found out about Fish-hawk by word of mouth.
I was icefishing one day and met Big O and Topwater, they clued me into Fish-hawk.
At first I lurked, then I posted then I lurked some more, now I'm posting again.
Probable would post more if I had a PC at home, now can only post when the boss is not looking :)

I cranked up old Bertha on the telephone while Rudi Vallee was on the Victrolla, hopped in my horseless carraige and tryed a "Canadian Fishing" search! That was back in double ought, when it was Bobber, Hawk and me!
Was looking for maps and found FH. Cruised for about a year, bought a Classic Lid (which I wear daily) at the Ottawa Sportsman Show and then registered a little while later. Never regretted it. A great bunch of people and information galore.
Was cruisin a local site, imagine this lived in Ottawa most of my life and never heard of FH So a link was posted by a fellow Talker to view his new boat on FH.Well I clicked on the link and 700 some odd posts later since April I am reall happy I clicked that link!!!!!!!!!
I was looking for information on fishing Wilmont Creek, as a branch of it goes through the family farm, and what do I find... Mike dookin it out with a rooster, (http://www.fish-hawk.net/hawkshow/wilmot/wilmot.htm) I read through the rest of the Shows, signed up and attended the "Return to Pinecrest" and have been hooked ever since.
I was searching for muskie locations in order to catch my first. Fish Hawk let me know where I should launch and how to fish for them. So I told him when I was heading down..some where around November 13th 2002. I left Cambridge at 1:00 am with my 5 year old son Jonathan in tow. Arrived at day break and fished the morning with no Muskie , but saw a few good rolls. Around noon along comes Fish Hawk in his boat to guide us to the areas where fish had been biting. I didnt have an electric trolling motor so he lashed our two boats together and controlled the drift of both boats. The result was my first muskie. I have supported the site ever since. My first impression was great one..the site hasnt disappointed me.
