        Validation: Can I Retire? 

        A few notes & thoughts about navigating money choices and life events.  The validation of trying to justify the retirement decision… How does one answer the question of “Can I Retire?”   I’m not going to attempt to answer the question but I think it’s a fair one to ponder and I discuss a little about the process.   Additionally, we discuss divorce, income for retirement, starting out as the young & penniless, fighting for every dollar and more.  The theme, it’s always best to seek some guidance when making money decisions.

      • Fred Klinshaw, Your Fishing Guide
        Fred Klinshaw, Fishing Guide

        How good is the fishing in Ventura County? 
        What are the top reasons to hire a guide & how much does it cost?

        Here are 10 reasons you'll love your guide experience fishing on Lake Casitas.

        #1 - You just show up, you don't need any gear at all. Your guide will have top of the line gear for you.
        #2 - You catch the fish but you don't have to touch it. (unless you want to). Most fish are catch & release, no harm, but if you want to keep it you can.
        #3 - The boat ride goes fast enough to feel thrilling. It's 20-30 mph but on a boat it feels so exciting.
        #4 - You're almost guaranteed to catch fish, look at the results on instagram, impressive amounts & sizes. (IG: the_hammer_of_fury)
        #5 - It will likely be the largest bass you've ever caught in your life.  Lake Casitas is a world renowned fishery.
        #6 - The peace & quiet out on the water will surprise you. It's relaxing to be out in nature.
        #7 - You're likely to see some wildlife, the rolling hills and lush topography offers multiple wildlife sightings on the shoreline.
        #8 - It's a half day trip, 7AM-11AM is the most common but other options are available.
        #9 - You can explore some hiking & other activities inside Lake Casitas recreation area.
        #10 Be sure to ask about the bald eagle nest at Lake Casitas, they have a protected area that is the home of a bald eagle.

        Spots do book up quickly so be sure to reach out to get on the list, there are also opportunities for Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara & Lake Castaic but Lake Casitas is our favorite.
