About Me

Background

Hello, fellow anglers. Welcome to my fishing page. My name is Tomas, aka Stray Caster. I was born in Orange and raised in Orange County. I was introduced to fishing at a young age. I remember my grandfather, father, and uncles dragging out my cousins and siblings to go fishing with them back in the early 90s. Some say I am a baby, and others that I am past my time. =) Nonetheless, we used to go out with minimal gear: some 20-30 lb mono line wrapped around sticks, empty beer cans, etc., and we would fish for carp, catfish, and occasionally some bass. We had no idea what we were doing, but we caught fish and lots of it. Fast forward to my current state of mind and situation based on good decisions in life, I tended to revert to what made me happy as a child, and it was fishing. Hence, now I like to fish in my current county in which I reside, Kern County. An abundance of lakes, Kern River, a couple of hours away from the National Forests and the beach. This area sparked my interest and reignited my passion for fishing. Now I like to travel wherever I can and cast in any pond, river, lake, or ocean. I stray to where I can fulfill my need to get away from it all and fish reel hard.
