Member since April 2018 South Padre Island, United States
Background
I have always fished these waters since the early '70's with my grandfather. I have been a charter captain most of my adult life. I love being on the water and teaching people how to fish. That's why I have a no fish no pay policy. I use live bait or artificial depending on clients and what the fish are responding to.
Techniques
From novice to expert.
