Interests

Family, church

fishing

I grew up fishing in Ponds or tanks as they are known in Oklahoma. Fished around the chanel islands off of Ventura, CA. with my dad on a regular basis weekends growing up. Fished lake Casitas and Matilija creek near Ojai CA, when we were too busy to go to the islands or the weather was too bad. Fished Millerton lake and the Salton Sea when school was out. I now fish Millerton or Hensley lakes. My favorite fish to eat are catfish and spotted (black) bass and any kind of pan fish, for fresh water fish so that is what I fish for. For the salt water, most any bottom fish are great anyway you cook them. When I was young we had a smoker and I loved the fight of the 2-3' blue sharks, which are wonderful smoked, but you best be careful or you may loose a finger or more.
