Background
I was born in GA. I've lived in this area for 50 years . Grow up in Gracville fla. I love to fish. I've been deep sea fishing all my life. And love to take people fishing. I spent 26 years pushing barges up and down Mississippi River. I've been on every water way that a barge can go on.
Techniques
I love all kinds of fishing. I love bottom fishing most of all.. I love grouper and snapper fishing. Like to troll as will. Something bout them when the rods Crack over and trying to stop a big fish is unbelievable
