What's up fellas?  My name is Danny and I live in the "jewel of the valley" Modesto... born and raised so I'm allowed to poke fun.  But seriously can't complain with options for different types of fishing in all directions.  I was not brought up fishing but caught the bug about 5-6 years ago.  Now my fiance and family think I'm obsessed, haha.   I enjoy river fishing, trolling, and hitting the coast.  I have a couple kayaks for the river and a ski boat I'm slowing converting.  A buddy (Dilbeck) of mine introduced me to trolling with his spare Hobie a couple years ago and suggested I join the group.  We are heading to GS8 next week and could not be more pumped! Looking forward to learning and sharing with people who share the passion.  Tight lines everyone!

What's up fellas.. Been MIA for awhile but looking to get back into it.  Goal is to purchase my 1st Hobie next month.  Can't wait to get my own set up and hopefully run into a few of you on the water.
