I was born and raised in Southport, FL, right on the water on Fanning Bayou near the head of North Bay. Come from multiple generations of fishermen. Just a good ol' boy who knows what he knows and loves to fish and share my passion for it with others. I've spent the better half of 25 years learning and crafting knowledge to provide you with an interactive, fun, and professional trip!
