Fermin Fernandez

Member since March 2018 Buchanan Dam, United States
Background
I was raised in Dallas with a creek behind my house full of Catfish, Bass, and Sunfish. As a kid, I spent every waking moment there. My dad, who is also an avid fisherman, taught me at a young age all he knew about the sport and soon I was teaching him. Fishing became not just a hobby for me in life but an obsession that I have passed along in my over 30 years of guiding many hundreds of people.
Techniques
There are many ways to catch Striped Bass or Stripers: my preferred method is live bait. d Drop it down on top of their heads and wait for them to bend the rod but there's many other ways to catch them and sometimes you have to get creative but truly my preferred method is whatever method we can catch the most fish with
