Hi everyone! My name is André J. Davillae! I'm from Southern California (Los Angeles South Bay to be exact). Fishing has always been my favorite hobby. I first learned how to fish with my Uncle at a local park lake fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass. I spent the rest of my years saltwater inshore fishing at some of Southern California's beautiful beaches with him and a lot of times with my Mama. It was a great way for us to bond, and it really helped show me how important outdoor activities are for families. I do prefer freshwater fishing as it's a bit more relaxing than having to deal with loud, crashing waves of the fast-moving ocean, and it's less crowded than having dozens of people jam-packed onto one pier. I'm not exclusively a bass fisherman when it comes to freshwater fishing, but I do prefer bass (especially smallmouths, I hear they put up the best fight). I found this site because I was looking for a forum more active than TakeMeFishing, which isn't very active at all. And seeing how active this site is, I'm hoping I can learn a lot of great things about bass fishing and perhaps make a couple of fishing buddies. Fishing with friends is just as important as fishing with family, and I hope to make some friends with whom I can go fishing.
