Welcome from the Laughing Pescador!

My name is Jason Macko and I am the Laughing Pescador! You may be asking yourself what is a Laughing Pescador and what is this blog about?

Let's start with the latter. I am writing this blog so that you do not make the same mistakes I have made and give you a good laugh along the way. This blog is:
  • NOT written by "experts" talking down to you
    • Instead, written by a novice with a thirst to learn more
  • NOT a series of "how to's" or advice that you already know or does not apply to your fishing needs.
    • Instead, it is a series of real life stories and the lessons I've learned from.

So what is a Laughing Pescador? Laughing Pescadors are anglers that fish because they love to be outdoors and interact with the wild. Laughing Pescadors are anglers that have a good time fishing regardless of the fish caught.

I started fishing because I needed a new hobby. I'm happily married to my best friend Lisa and we do everything together. But I needed something that I did on my own- my own time- my quiet time and golf was getting too expensive.

I wanted a new challenge but soon realized all the fishing knowledge I amassed as a kid bass fishing in Upstate NY was either outdated or I had forgotten it (much more likely). This led to a lot of "fumbles" which will be featured throughout my blog.

So sit back, relax and laugh a little while we talk fishing or in some cases talk a little fishing while we laugh!
