newportlocal intro post

  • Born and raised in Newport Beach California. Started talking to Linghunt and Aaron about a spearole that had a locking handle I used locally and for two summers in the Florida Keys along with Andros in the Bahamas many years ago. I spent two summers on Big Pine Key doing oceanography and shark tagging . I have always been an ocean boy. Surfing,boogie boarding ,scuba, snorkeling,long range saltwater fishing. Grew up working at Arts landing and Davey's locket as a deckhand going to Catalina Island everyday. Worked for carl newell making reels. Spent time with lots of saltwater industry people and still see Joe Pfister regularly that ran saber and seeker fishing rods. Anyway after talking with John linghunt I have a spearpole on the way and am looking forward to getting out in the kelp. Nice to meet everyone.

  • Welcome
    Your going to flip when John gets around to actually delivering your pole :laughing:
    Waiting for my pole buddies to come back this summer so I can really put that beast of a pole he built me to the test with some pelagic fish ;) . One of my buddies is a world record holder and one of the best pole guys out there, and he flipped when he saw my pole that John built.
