Bass Fishing Forum - Westernbass.com

Working at one of the largest tackle stores in California for nearly 30 years and fishing a few times a week, I get first hand reports from guides and customers about a variety of fisheries and fish. I report my observations and information to newspapers and radio shows and thought that my viewers should know this timely information as well.
