Addicted to the water, from the ocean to the lake.

My name is Michael Ma. I’m a golfer on land, fisherman by the sea. Fishing is my passion, my love, and my way to reconnect with nature.

Water is where my problems fade away and how I rediscover happiness and fulfillment. I love fishing and look forward to connecting with like-minded people on this incredible journey on the water.

  • My fishing journey began at Goleta Pier in early 2022, reeling in small jack smelts that sparked my love for the sea. The joy was unmatched—though a hook in my finger made for a painful start, it was worth every moment.

  • It's a challenge, an adventure, and an opportunity to create lasting memories, meet incredible people, catch mysterious fish, share unforgettable laughs, and, most importantly, learn to respect nature and appreciate the resources we have.

  • I’m grateful to have checked off so many bucket-list fishing adventures in a short time. My dream is to fish around the globe, build a small business to help others pursue their fishing dreams, and teach the importance of preserving this precious resource for future generations.
