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...

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.

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'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.
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???
