was traveling to. Then put
together a little travel kit for
the road. People at home
probably thought that I was
nuts and the locals where
I was fishing knew that I
was wacko, “Fishing, do you
always release your catch?”
My business travels
brought me to a long-term
assignment in Southern
California. I was still
traveling but my regional
assignment had changed.
Again, pre-internet I didn’t
really know what the
fishing opportunities would
be. As it turned out, I had
landed in a fisherman’s
paradise. I owned a
home in Orange County
eventually moving to a
small mountain community
but I was always close to
one fishery or another.
Living in Southern
California a sportsman had
quick and easy access to a
wide variety of both inshore
and offshore saltwater
fisheries. I got heavily
involved in the offshore
fisheries, even deckhanding
or running the galley on a
couple of party boats. My
addiction wasn’t limited
to the salt, there were also
many excellent freshwater
options. Close to home
there were a number of
trout, bass, whisker, and
panfish lakes.
