Look
below and read about my GREAT team members! Sometimes we argue, sometimes we disagree, but we always come together in the
end to share the memories and laughs. We eat good on the road, and we cash a few checks each year. Our ultimate goal is to
take the Lake Ontario Challenge Cup! This takes consistency across a four tournament schedule where some of the best teams
compete |
This is the guy that started
it all! He had me on the boat at the age of 5, while he and his buddies enjoyed the resource we are so lucky to have. My father
has patients like no other person I know. He worked two jobs to make sure he had money to afford the hobbies his kids enjoyed,and
that was to go fishing. He also pushed me to get my captains license. If you take a trip with us you can usually find him
at the wheel, eating his cereal, and getting yelled at by the crew to drive straight!
|
Craig is my younger brother, and he has fished
Lake Ontario for about as long as I have. He can do it all on the boat! Typically during tournament days you can see him setting
lines on the Starboard side, while I set up the Port side of the boat. We compliment each other quite nicely on lure choices,
and he loves to try new lures on every trip.When you see him in 2009 congratulate him on passing his test to become a US Master
Captain.

Eric helps me out when I need a 1st
mate. He also fishes all the Lake Ontario Pro-Am events with us. He has more experience fishing than I have years of life!
He has fished all over the US, and even into Canada, chasing all types of fish in both fresh and saltwater. Back in the day
he was a pioneer on the Lake in helping develop products to improve trolling. His favorite fish is probably a high flying
steelhead, but he wont pass up too many screaming drags from a king either.

Joe has fished Lake Ontario for years.
He held a Captains License at one point, and was running charters back in the "good ol' days" of Lake Ontario. He
was out of it for a while, and has since joined our team as an alternate or a substitute when we need one. He also fishes
the LOC derby's with us when we aren't chartering, and is know for bringing plenty of food! He isn't used to a lot of the
new methods we currently use, but he is catching up fast. When Joe isn't fishing with us he is running his business (ServPro),
which is an excavating/water damage business.

I first met Jeremy while playing youth
soccer. We played on the same team, and thats when we found out we both had a love for fishing. Jeremy has been a part of
our team for a few years now. He started trolling on Lake Ontario with us back in the day, and really took a liking to it
over the past 4 or 5 years. He knows his way around our boat, and is very knowledgeable about trolling on Lake Ontario. He
brings a variety to the team with his Trout skills, which is something the Hajecki's aren't very versed in.

Justin came to us in a time of desperation!
OK, maybe that was a little dramatic. We picked him up last minute right in the middle of the 2010 tourney season when one
of our teammates was unable to fish. Justin was airly new to the game, but he came from the fish rich waters off Olcott, so
he knew how to catch fish! He knows his way around the boat pretty good! He also brings a little diferent element to the table
than we are used to. He likes his cut bait rigs, which is something we just don't mess with. Anyway, we are glad to have him
and he has already committed to the 2011 team!
