About

Hello, my name is Richard and I'm a Bass Fishing Addict!

After moving to Miami Beach at the age of 9, I bought my first rod and reel. A Mitchell 304 as all the other kids had. There was water everywhere! We lived across the street from the 85th Street Bridge and that's where it all started.

With white or yellow buck tails, I started fishing the bridges and running the seawalls which were plentiful on "The Beach". Fish were plentiful as well. There was hardly a morning that went by that we couldn't catch a bunch of Jack, and an occasional Snook or Tarpon.

I never had the patience for bait fishing. Maybe when I get old, it might be a good alternative to feeding pigeons in the park!

I’ll fast forward to 1980.  I rented a Jon boat at Holiday Park. I caught seven bass on red shad worms. I found my new love! BASS FISHING!

Let’s fast forward again to one year ago today. I had already owned all of the soft plastic baits in every size and color on the market.

What was I to do? I had a real dilemma on my hands. Surrender, admit I had a problem and become willing to do something about it? HELL NO! I'm not done yet. I'll pour my own baits. Well, now I'm dually addicted!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
