Member since May 2018 Branson, United States
Background
If you asked me when I was 13 years old what I wanted to do for a living, I would have answered; "Become a professional Bass fisherman". I am living my dream daily and this is the kind of appreciation for my profession that you will enjoy the entire time we are fishing together. While in college I could not afford a Bass boat, but I could afford waders for Trout fishing. This is where I gained my passion for Trout fishing. The tournament Bass fishing came later. With several wins and top-tens, they have put me above others in this business in experience and success in the Bass fishing world. We will utilize those techniques for our success. I don't use live bait. We will be using proven tournament techniques while we fish.
Techniques
Trout Fishing; I tie all Flys we will be using 30 yrs of experience tying flies. Bass Fishing; Tournament techniques will be used for Bass Fishing Trips.
