Steve Nicholas

Member since April 2018 Pittsburg, United States
Background
I was introduced to fishing at a very young age and was hooked right away. I've always been drawn to the water, and it was the excitement of catching a big fish that kept me coming back for more. I guess you could say it's in my blood. To be able to do what I love for a living is a dream come true. Now, I enjoy more than anything watching people catching a fish for the first time, landing their personal biggest fish, or seeing a kid get their first fish. I get just as excited when we get a fish on the line today as I did 45 years ago as a kid.
Techniques
I enjoy all types, techniques, and methods of catching fish. Whatever makes em bite...lol But, if I had to pick a referred technique, I would have to say Bait fishing on anchor is what I like best. But, sometimes that isn't the best bet and I will always change techniques to adapt to the conditions. The species of fish we are targeting will also dictate how we fish for them.
