Background
Hey there! I'm a disabled US Army veteran with over 10 years of experience fishing the Gulf. You know what brings me true joy? Seeing people reel in those fish and sharing my knowledge about the stunning waters of the Gulf of Mexico. When I see those happy, smiling faces, it makes everything worth it. I take immense pleasure in teaching others about the wonders of these waters and helping them have a fantastic time. It's a true delight for me to witness the excitement of someone catching a fish and creating special memories. That's what it's all about!
Techniques
Love fishing in General But favorite is gotta be bottom dropping In deep water. Never know what's coming up. Trolling for wahoo or live bait fishing.
