I'm a beginner fisherman and would be interested in any personal info on Lopez of Santa Margarita Lakes since they are the closest to my house. Lake Cachuma would also be a posibility. I'll be fishing from the shore with lightweight spinning gear. I've been exploring this site and it's helped alot. I also posted a similar message on the freshwater reports message board. I haven't been fishing since my teenage years(30 years ago) which was mainly lake trout fishing with eggs or cheese for bait or lures. Now I'm interested in fishing for bass, too. Anything to help me get started catching fish and having fun would be appreciated.<BR>Thanks,<BR>Ken
