About Me:
I am from Orlando, but currently live in Jacksonville. I have been fishing for bass since I could walk. My parents didn't fish, but it kept me entertained while they sat in the park. 
I caught my first bass out of Lake Ivanhoe near downtown Orlando on a bread and bobber rig. What got me addicted was when the bass would hit the bright orange bobber like a ton of bricks. Always tried my best to whip that little size 1 hook into the "crazy monster fish". Have since learned that poppers with trebles work much better...
I spent years complaining about the lack of information specifically for bass fishing in Florida, so I finally decided to do something about it and create a website and magazine myself. Welcome to that website! Check out the e-magazine on the menu to the left!
Suggestions are always welcome. Send me a message and let me know what you think.

Bass Tale:
Observing in the first ever PAA tournament series event was a great experience. It was held on Lake Toho. Not only did I get to meet Iaconelli, Brauer, Klien, and others, but I was able to observe Chad Morgenthaler (Chadmorgenthaler.com) on the first day.
He finished 4th that day in a field of 150 boats with a beautiful 8-3 hawg near the end of the day. He went on to finish 5th in the tournament. I learned a lot (like a jig isn't useless for everyone, just me) and would suggest that everyone do this if they get the chance.
