New to forum, and relatively new to Simcoe

Hello and nice to meet everyone. I'm new to this forum.
Just wanted to say hello and give a little background about myself.

Fishing since 2015 when I caught my first bass on Oxtongue Lake.
Have been quite literally hooked ever sine and want to do nothing else.
I'm middle-aged and started fishing very late in life (obviously lol).
Have fished mostly in Lake Ontario, Rice Lake, Sturgeon Bay, the Trent, and Nipissing. Surprisingly even though I live so close to Simcoe I've really only fished there twice over the years, but now with 2 kids and busy life looking to fish closer to home so planning to get out on Simcoe more often. Looking to meet local like minded fisherman that can maybe meet up with on the west side of Simcoe. I absolutely love these creatures we so deeply crave the hunt for, but I'm a total catch and release guy and have never kept a single fish I've caught over the years and really take pride in taking every effort to preserve the fish and minimize the impact of the catch in any way I'm capable.
I had a 14" aluminum boat for the past couple years but sold it last year when had to move and a few other things on the go (including tight on space for a boat at the old pace) but I'm planning on getting another boat this spring, another 14" or maybe a 16 if can find a decent used one.

Looking forward to reading and learning allot on this forum, and hopefully contributing anything that I can from my limited experiences. Also hope to even possible meet some new fishing friend on here.
Cheers to all and happy fishing on the ice and stay safe!
