Re-Introduction

Hey all not really sure where to start with this, I used to be pretty involved with this forum awhile back and participated in meetups for about 2 years and even helped Jeff out by coordinating a Perris Toy Drive and haven't been active on this site since probably 2014.  It's also worth mentioning that a long time ago at a Huntington Harbor meetup a ton of the members on this site hooked me up with several plano trays of saltwater baits/lures/plastics/etc. and showed me the ropes of saltwater harbor fishing as that was my first experience with it ever.  Life happened though and my attention was diverted towards other things and as a result I cut a lot of the fishing out of my life (really sucked) but managed to get past everything to where I am now, which is ready to do a s*** ton of fishing again!!!  I live in Long Beach and have made the LAB my spot when I have managed to get out in my tube launching by the Sailing Center so it's easy to wash my tube after and mostly at night with an occasional early morning thrown in since I've experienced that the bite is exponentially better when it's dark.  I also used to frequent Perris a lot, so much so that I still know the topology of that lake and underwater structure  pretty well although I've only been once or twice since the water has been lowered so that is probably just a little different now.  ANYWAYS!  I've been driving around with my FTFF sticker on my car always reminding me of this place and so I wanted to reintroduce myself and get involved with this forum and all the members, old and new, again and do some fishing!

Hey hey welcome back bro life does happen but as long as you find your way back its all good.

I know the feeling. No matter how much I love fishing it always seems to be the activity that takes the hit when life gets demanding! So much for retirement.

Glad to hear that you are back in the saddle again. You probably noticed some changes in the FTFF since you were last here. You should check out the tournament series coming up. It should prove to be a lot of fun.

Looking forward to some reports.

Welcome back buddy .

Nice introduction desertstorm28,

I'm still fairly new to FT fishing myself with just over 20 floats under my belt so far.
My go to is LAB and then NPH, I haven't fished LAH yet. LAH is the closest to my place, I'm in SP.

You sound like you know what you are doing and I doubt that I'll have much to offer back to you.
I try to fish every Sat and Sun but haven't tried night time fishing as of yet.

I look forward to hooking up.

Welcome back to your ol' fishing grounds!

SP Dan <"))><

Hey all thanks for the warm welcome back feels just like I never left! I'm down for NPH trip chronarch I haven't actually made it there yet and good to see you're into tubing Dan LAH is actually an amazing spot with the infamous concrete jungle being found in there I don't exactly remember where as it's been a long time since I've fished there but worth the trip! If you ever want to hit the LAB hit me up!
