I have been fishing my whole life. Although I have fished all over the country, my true love is the Lake Ontario fishery. My entire family fishes, and when I was a kid my father used to bring me out fishing for fun. We were always doing Bass tournaments together when I was growing up. My uncle, Captain Mike Pastore, taught me the ins and outs of how to become a successful fisherman and charter captain on Lake Ontario.
