I am Shawn and I have over 30 years of experience fishing the Galveston Bay Complex. I have participated in lots of tournaments and I take pride in having over 50 wins. I enjoy taking both novice and avid anglers spending the day fishing. Although jetties and deep water structures are my usual spots for Trout, Tarpon, Redfish, sharks and Flounder we can also wade a shoreline and fish the back bays.
