Great to meet ya Nick! This post is a great idea. 

Hope you don't mind, I changed the name of it and stickied at the top so others can post their bios as well.

Welcome to UMO!

My name is Ed Jensen and I'm a fishaholic!!!  Mainly ice fishing, I live in NE Iowa approx. 45 min from the Minn. and Wis. borders. I'm married with 3 kids all grown and 1 granddaughter. My wife and I love to mushroom hunt, and ice fish. It's nice having a wife that enjoys the sport as much as me especially when she says we need to get a 4 wheeler and new tent by next season. I work road const. so I don't get a lot of open water time, but I do go when I can. I'm looking forward to reading the different posts and adding a few of my own!! Great site here and I'm looking forward to being a member!!

Hello, My name is Wade, I also answer to "Joe" I am a Fishahollik as well. Its been my yahoo email addy for about 10 years. Retired Navy, I live/work Superior, Duluth area. I also fish as much as I can down near La Crosse which is where I was from originally. I am Married and Remarried, I have 4 kids ranging in age from 21 years old to 18 months. Wife and I enjoy camping and 4 wheeling. She isn't so much into the fishing and hunting, but she lets me go and doesn't complain too much.
 I currently work in electronic security and fire protection until such time as my wife gets her CPA, and I will be applying part time at the sporting goods section of walmart.

Happy Posting!

My name is Julie and I guide on the St.Croix, Mississippi and Mille Lacs, I have fished the FLW,PWT and local Walleye tournaments and now took the position as director for the WWA. The more I fish the more I realize I have a lot to learn. Anyway the site looks great!  I have a White Triton with an etec, if you see me stop by and say hi

Nice to have you on board Julie, welcome to UMO! 

Hopefully we'll run into each other on the river. Possibly at the tourneys.

Hi All! The Mississippi is my game, Ford Dam to Bass Camp, althought I have fished most of the lower lakes and pretty much all the larger lakes in Minnesota. It looks like in the near future I will be fishing the St Louis river, Lake Superior, Island Lake, Boulder Lake and Fish lake and more? Both of my children live in Duluth and my future Son in Law (Capt Dustin Carlson) Is a Pro guide in northren Minnesota, Wisconson area. Isn't that sad ?
    
See ya on the river!

Good morning from Lake Winnebago, specifically Stockbridge (the Sturgeon Capital of the World). We own a Fillet Board Company called Fillet King and we market our product line through our web site www.fillet-boards.com and www.filletking.com.  We also do the full show circuit in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dakatos where we demonstrate our product to the public.  We know pretty much all there is to know about filleting panfish and run the Master Filleter organiation and hold filleting contests at the sports shows.
We fish mostly the Winnebago system for walleye and pan fish both with a small fishing boat and off our sailboat (where we troll by wind). If you have questions on filleting methods we are the go to gals. People tell us they get a kick off our BLOG so stop by take a look at our sites and maybe order some product from us.

Hey everybody, my name is Nathan Gravert.  I live in clinton, Iowa and fish mainly the mississippi river pools 12-14.  I have a champion bass boat and try to fish as many tournaments a year as I can.  Currently I'm pretty low on money so tournaments will be slim, but I proudly represent the companies, Karu Lures, Parasite weights, tailwalker fishing lures and badbassboys.com.  I also travel to MN every year for about a week to ottertail county.  I stay on Dead lake and travel around a bit and fish some lakes close by there.

welcome all new members... 

Hey Eric,

Welcome to UMO and thanks for the contributions. I added those forums for you. Hopefully we get some traffic to them. I've never fished for esox before.

Hey Patti, welcome to UMO, glad you could make it here. That's a great story you have and glad you made it back to MN. Getting used to a boat takes some time, I'm sure you're doing fine. We'll have to plpan a UMO get together this summer when we have some interest in it. Would be a good time to meet everyone.
