I am a native of Arizona and have been fishing since I was 6 years old.  My Dad and Mom loved the outdoors and we fished as a family all over Arizona.  Bass fishing was more of a challenge to me, so I decided to pursue it through tournaments and club fishing.
I won my first ALLSTAR Bass tournament in 1990 and was hooked.  I joined the Phoenix Bass Masters Club in 1993.  My first sponsorship was with Steel Marine in 1997 with a Fisher Bass Boat.  I appeared on the television show “Fishing with the Good Ol’ Boys” for six years.  I also appeared on the television show “Arizona Game and Fish Wildlife Views” for five years.

Another highlight was guest staring on the radio show “KOY Radio Fishing Show” and working with physically challenged children through the program “Fishing Has No Boundaries” for two years.  Currently I have guest stared on a few episodes of “Fishing with Johnny Johnson”.

My personal goal is to share my love of fishing through training seminars and workshops to people of all ages.  A perfect day to me is spending a day of bass fishing at any lake.

AZ Fishing – An Experience Like No Other

AZ Fishing – An Experience Like No Other

If you are looking for an exciting fishing vacation, come to Arizona, the fishing is great. AZ fishing is always great. People, even some people that live here don’t realize how many lakes and rivers offer competitive fishing in Arizona. We are not talking about muddy ponds that dry up; we are talking about the Colorado River, Lake Powell, and Lake Havasu and other places where professional tournaments are held.

Do you like to catch trout? Here is an example of the quality of AZ fishing; Lee’s Ferry produces one very specific type of trout over and over every day of the year. They are so prolific the limit is 2 per day. This is the 10 pound variety. That is not a typo, Lee’s Ferry is the headquarters and command post for trout world wide and the big Generals hang out there. I have been happy to catch Silver salmon a third that size.

What are your feelings about bass? If you like to hook into trophy size bass consistently, then you really need to come fishing in AZ. The deep warm canyon lakes are the perfect environment for big bass and every day someone fishing in Arizona has probably released a lunker that would rival your state record for Largemouth, Smallmouth and even Stripers.

Would you rather fish in luxury or camp out at the lake? I hate to say it again, but come fishing in Arizona. I will need to do a bit of fact checking on this, but Phoenix is the home of some of the most luxurious golf resorts and country clubs in the world including a TPC course. Do not be surprised if you see more than one pro and a celeb or two when you are hitting the links at Troon or another resort of your choice.

Coincidentally, a fully charged golf cart would probably get you to a premier AZ fishing location where you can catch a monster or two and still have enough charge to get back to town for your next tee time.

Phoenix is a resort town without a doubt and a series of 8 world class bass fishing lakes are just N.E. of the city with a gem in the center and that is Alamo Lake. This is a very secluded lake that you need to hike into. Because of this it is secluded (not small, just secluded) and no motors are allowed so it is about as pristine as you can get in this day and age. Fishing in AZ at this lake is truly like taking a step back in time.

Another luxury or rustic choice for AZ fishing is Lake Powell way up north on the border. This is a huge, deep lake with too many places to camp, a resort and even luxury house boat rentals. When was the last time you were out bass fishing without missing a game or movie while at the same time having gourmet meals delivered directly to your boat?

Are gourmet meals a bit too much, how about if you just run out of something or want a couple lures? It is all a simple phone call away.

AZ fishing – An experience like to other is not an exaggeration. When you come fishing in Arizona, trophy size trout and bass are just a given.
