Captain
Thomas Blackburn

Member since November 2023 Oakwood, United States
Background
I chased Striped Bass for decades on the Chesapeake Bay. I have fished in the Great Lakes, virtually every state from Delaware south to Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and saltwater on the Georgia and Florida coastline. I am a Army veteran. I have published a book about fishing for Striped Bass on Lake Lanier that is a must read for every angler on Lake Lanier. I have been a full time fishing guide since 2008...that's 16 years of experience!!!!!
Techniques
Using light tackle to catch large fish is by far the preferred method; this would include casting artificial lures and using live bait at both shallow and deep depths of water.
