Born in San Diego and from an early age loved fishing. My dad took me fishing almost every week. After years of fishing for many species of fish, I decided that bass fishing was my only desire. I have fished mostly San Diego County lakes from the days of throwing Creme plastic worms was the best worm around, to the Delong "Otay Special" worms that seemed even better, to the hundreds of worms and baits of today. Topwater bass fishing is my favorite type of fishing. There is nothing more exciting to me than to see the water explode with a bass attacking my bait. I live about 1 1/2 miles from Lake Murray, so that is one of my primary fishing spots. It can be a tough lake at times, but other times can produce some nice bass.
