WONews Column by Brandon Hayward



Brandon Hayward is the saltwater editor for Western Outdoor News. He is on his second issuance of a 100-ton Master’s License from the United States Coast Guard; Hayward spent over 1,000 days working on San Diego sportboats like the Excel, Pacific Queen, First String and Producer before starting his career as an outdoor writer/editor.

“It’s great to share information with anglers that helps them catch more fish and enjoy their time on the water more,” notes Hayward, who ranks cow-sized yellowfin and white seabass as his favorite targets.  

Hayward is the author of The Southern California Angler. The book is a how-to guide on Southern California sportfishing. It can be ordered on this Web site by clicking on the "store" tab.
