Member since June 2018 Punta Gorda, United States
Background
I started fishing at a very young age. Growing up in South West Florida, it afforded me great opportunities to experience excellent fishing in the flats and backwater bays, which grew into my passion for inshore fishing. I started providing fishing charters to share my passion and love for the outdoors with others who might otherwise not experience SWFL the way I have.
