I've fished from a early age in South New Jersey mostly at a summer camp sight at Lenape Lake in Mays Landing NJ. When 19 I join the Marines ...more and fished areas that I was station at Jacksonville NC my first 4 year enlistment and my second four year enlistment in Oceanside California in the southern half of the state. While at that time mostly targeting bass. Once I was honorably discharged I moved back to New Jersey where I join my first bass club Top Rod in 1993 whose club president happened to be Mike Iaconelli who was already dominating a lot of our club tournaments but Mike had friends in his club who were just as competitive as Mike so it became important to me to learn as much as I could to start making myself competitive.
