- Background
- I have been fishing and boating these local waters since before I could walk. Weekend sandbar missions as a toddler with my parents quickly evolved into flats fishing fun as a young teenager. My friends and I were always out fishing somewhere it seemed, whether it was a pond to catch bass or on the bow of the bay boat catching snook. After I got ahold of a fly rod at 12 years old, there was no turning back! I quickly became obsessed with the awesome sight fishing opportunuties this area has to offer. Before I got my captains license at 18 years old, almost everyday would a buddy and I race to the boat ramp after school and spend hours poling and learning new areas on the water. As a young adult, I now spend my days trying to get better than each day before, and perfect my craft so my clients can have a trip of their lifetime. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the smiles this job creates and the awesome memories my clients and I get to share!
- Techniques
- My personal favorite way to fish is fly fishing in shallow water. It is really more of a hunt than fishing. You are trying to feed a fish so deep in their natural habitat that they have no idea you are even 50 feet away from them! Watching their every movement and anticipating their next one can make your knees shake and put a smile on your face like you are a kid again. Sight fishing with a fly rod is as raw as it gets, and magical when everything comes together!
