"As a bass angler, born and raised on Long
Island, I have learned through experience, the need for attention to
detail to be a successful angler. It is this meticulous attention to
the finer points of angling, that I have applied to all aspects of fishing.
Though only eighteen years of age, and still in what I consider an important
learning phase, I have developed several tried and true techniques that
make up a large part of my recreational and tournament" angling.
I have also had the unique and valued opportunity to instruct other
anglers on various levels, in seminars as well as state events. The
subjects of which have ranged from advanced bass tactics on pressured
waters, to the importance of conservation, and care for the environment.
It is through these teaching opportunities that I have furthered my
own knowledge of the sport, as well as gained an immense respect for
those involved in it. Currently I am member of the Long Island Bassmasters,
through which I fish tournaments, as well as engage in a constant learning
experience with some of the best anglers on the Island. I also plan
to take the next step up from local and club tournaments and fish Operation
Bass' Redman Tournament Trail this year, in the Northeastern Division.
During the summer months, I try to spend as much time on the water as
possible, with frequent trips to the Tri-State area's various "big water"
reservoir and lakes, in order to further my knowledge of such an elusive
species. Also, upon the purchase of a bass boat, this summer I plan
to take the necessary steps to become a certified New York State freshwater
fishing guide. It is with all this in mind, that I hope to make fishing
a life long endeavor which I can thoroughly enjoy, and benefit from.
Feel free to e-mail questions or comments to my address, and I will
respond as soon as possible."
