Member since October 2023 Rio Hondo, United States
Background
I got my first taste of saltwater fishing in the early 80s when I moved to New Orleans for a few years and fell in love with it. I moved to the valley in 2015 and have been fishing the bay ever since. I am "living the dream" and enjoying every minute of it!
Techniques
Drifting and throwing soft plastics is my favorite method, but can adapt to other methods when weather dictates.
