Background
I have been fishing in Florida's water ways my whole life. For work and for fun, fishing is what I know, from commercial fishing to catching snook in the backwaters. I want to share the tips and tricks I've learned over the years with you. There's no better feeling than hooking into a big one with a buddy on board so bring a friend!
