Born and raised near Rochester, NY, transplanted to San Diego after serving in the U.S. Army in 1994 and been in SoCal ever since with my bride of 30 years and two adult sons. Although won’t pass up a good opportunity to ocean fish, prefer fresh water especially now that I have a small boat, much more relaxing. I plan on converting my new found love into a bass boat to get more functionality and better use of the space out of my 12’ v-hull. Then I intend to hit every fresh water lake, reservoir, and river throughout the southwest and up to NoCal. Looking forward to chatting with you all.
