Mike's bio:Growing up in Ventura in the late 80's, I spent all of my free time fishing. I was fortunate to start my sport-fishing career (at the young age of 9) with some of the best, such as the Cavanaugh brothers and Shawn Steward, of whom I have been fortunate enough to have crewed with. Throughout my school years, I worked summers and weekends on two of the premier charter boats in the area,

I left the harbor today with less then a handful of sardinas but I didn't care. I've known all along we fly fishermen can catch fish with out chum. I also know it sure helps to keep the dorado and roosterfish around up here.First stop was the eastern side of Isla Carmen from just below Bahia Balandra to La Cholla.
