Background
I was raised in northern Minnesota. I started fishing and hunting at a very young age and just love the outdoors. I moved to Florida at the age of 15 and have now been here for 36 years and love it . I started saltwater fishing and caught my first snook and became addicted instantly! I then about 12 years ago decided I wanted to be a fishing guide so here I am! It is my greatest passion just being on the water every day and enjoying nature!
Techniques
I generally start out using live bait on light spinning tackle. Then I will switch over to cut bait which is very effective! We can catch a wide variety of species...
