Donald Bodkin

Member since February 2024 Bradenton Beach, United States
Background
Started guiding fishing trips in 2004 In Alaska. Started fishing and spearfishing the waters out of Sarasota 7 years ago and have since decided to make this a full time fish killing operation.
Techniques
My go to fishing is bottom fishing with live bait, unless of course we see birds working, then we break out the troll gear.
