I guess I'll go first.

Hi, I'm Scott and I'm a fishaholic. ("Hi, Scott."). I live in Central CA in the small town of Lemoore. I fish for the following species: bass about 55%, trout about 30%, ocean species about 5%, stripers about 5% and all others (salmon, panfish, etc) about 5%. I have a bass boat and a camper and have traveled up to 7 hours to fish (Clear Lake bass). I fish around 12 different lakes and rivers within 2 hours of my home. My wife and daughter both enjoy fishing and camping as well.

Oops, I just signed on to the California Board, guess I should have replied here, sorry about that, just getting a feel for this board. So here's a little about me:


I'm over 50 years old and have been fishing since I was 5 (my grandfather and uncle were both charter boat captains in the Chesapeake Bay), so I guess fishing really is in my blood, ha ha. I've worked in the fishing tackle industry for over 20 years here in Orange County, California and started my own business 3 years ago hand-pouring plastic baits. If you have any questions about plastic bait fishing, or just want a fishing partner sometime, don't hesitate to ask (but I don't know everything). Feel free to visit our web-site at www.DesignerLures.com and try the techniques listed that have worked for me. I'm looking forward to chatting with you all.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi to all California members. I'm Bret and I'm a life member for 5 almost 5 years now. I live in Fresno and have done most of my fishing around the Fresno/Madera areas. Occasionally, I'll go out further for better fishing. I usually target, bass, stripers, cats, bluegills,.....well basically anything that'll make my reel scream. Haven't really caught a hog yet...hoping too real soon. So if any members out there know of any place I can catch hogs at, please share. I'm willing to meet up with members in my bass boat.

I understand lbt.... <!--graemlin::eek:--> The reason this was done was for the members that didn't know about it or may not have scrolled through the hundreds of pages to find a sign-in post. I apologize to the members that have done this before, but it needs to be kept on the front burner for all of the NEW guys on the BB... <!--graemlin::D--> <!--graemlin:;)--> Also to get an updated idea of how many registered members are from your state. Have a good day from BigDog... <!--graemlin::cool:-->
