Member since July 2018 Bluffton, United States
Background
I started fishing at a young age growing up in Miami, Florida. When my friends were out riding their bikes, I was learning to tie knots with my dad. I am very passionate about fishing, I take pride in what I do and I’m not satisfied unless my client is. I like to live bait on the bottom with light to medium tackle. It’s about the fight, not the catch.
