How long have you been casting? 20 years

Where do you practice? At the Oakland Ponds or at the local middle school field.

Favorite fish to catch: tuna and dorado

Favorite rod: Sage or Loomis

Favorite reel: Mitchell and Shakespeare for plugs, no favorite for fly’s, anything plastic and light.

Advice for new casters: Casting can be frustrating at times so stop then and come back another day.  Don’t feel like you have to practice for hours at a time, 15-20 minutes is plenty for a new caster.

Philosophy relating to casting: Keep yours hands relaxed and enjoy the motion.
