Member since April 2023 Mount Pleasant, United States
Background
I have been fishing since before I could walk, and it is second nature to me now. I have fished tournaments all around the country picking up knew knowledge at every fishery to bring home with me. I am on the water 3-5 days a week. I truly love having the opportunity to share my passion with others. Being able to share my experience with others and hopefully teach people to be better anglers or instill a new hobby just entisifys my passion for the sport! My goal for every trip is not only to be successful and have a fun time on the water but send the anglers home with something, whether that be a new knowledge set for experienced anglers or a new passion for beginners! Rather than doing the same thing every trip, I make sure we go at the best time of day to fish and that the style of fishing we do will be the most enjoyable to that specific customer. My favorite fishing style is sight fishing for redfish from my poling platform in super shallow creeks during low tide. My other passions include promoting wildlife conservation by teaching our local community and assisting local biologists as well as teaching fishing to children.
Techniques
I love fishing artificial and covering water, however, I am well equipped for live bait fishing if it is tough. The style of fishing we do can be catered to your experience and preference!

These trips I recommend no more than two peope and typically takes a little bit of prior fishimg experience. However, there is mothing more fun in the inshore scene in my opinion. Picture a cool morning before a hot day, while the other guide boats have not even touched the water. As we make are initial drive out, we see a sunrise over the marsh and dolphins playing in the river. Right as the sun is just shining enough light to make our first casts, we pull into a shallow flat in just a foot of water. Each angler holds and artificial lure as we slowly ease around looking for wakes from actively feeding redfish against the bank. Suddenly we see 20 or 30 huge wakes on the bank and shrimp getting blown oht of the water. That is when you make your first cast and have a long powerful fight with some light 10 pound line. Taking advantage of these cool mornings is great right now, because during the first hour, the redfish are active enough that you can see their wakes as the feed up aggressively from a distance. The key is to cast well ahead of them and let them swim into where your lure is. You can also buy a few furocious bites on a topwater right now during these same conditions. As the days goes on, the redfish become a bit less active. We may still be able to use the sun to our advantage after it heats up by actually seeing one sitting somewhere or perhaps switch to a bit of structure fishing woth the same lures. Although we may not always, get as many bites as live bait trips doing this, the bites you do get are far more rewarding.
