Member since April 2015 Daytona Beach, United States
Background
I started fishing when I was 5 years old. In 1989 I moved to Central Florida to attend Stetson University, became a certified scuba diver, and have been diving and fishing out of Ponce Inlet ever since. Although I have landed plenty of monsters, I now find more enjoyement helping others experience the thrill of landing the fish of a lifetime.
Techniques
Whether you prefer bottom fishing, trolling, tournament fishing or spearfishing; I have the experience and knowledge of these waters to help find the fish.
