Member since July 2017
Fishing has been my hobby since I was little. I grew up Crappie fishing in North Carolina. My experience and knowledge of areas in North Carolina include Lake Gaston, Jordan Lake, Shearon Harris, Neuse River, and Cape Fear River. I have participated in several tournaments, such as Monster Cat Quest at Santee Cooper Lakes. In the past, I have competed in multiple fishing tournament trails, where I have received 1st place in most tournaments. My primary focus is providing fishing charters, but I do fish in several larger tournaments a year, such as the Cabela's Catfish. Fishing is my hobby, life, and a way to network with others. I received my Captain's license in the winter of 2017 with the USCG. Looking to take others on charter trips and "make it happen."
