Fish-X-TC

Member since July 2018 Traverse City, United States
Background
As a youth, having spent all my summers since birth on an island in Northern Ontario, it was either pick blueberries or catch fish. So I chose the latter (ok, maybe I picked a few blueberries too!) When the time was right I hired on at a local lodge and had the good fortune to hone my skills as a guide. Winters were spent in Florida fishing the Gulf Coast waters, including the bays and flats from Tampa Bay to the Florida Keys. Having moved to Traverse City in 1989, I quickly adapted to the cold water fishery that presented itself to me. After years of fishing leagues, tournaments and recreational fishing, I acquired my Captains License and embarked on my re-creation as a guide and charter captain. There has never been another option for me in my spare time and providing these opportunities to others has become an absolute passion!
Techniques
Downriggers, divers and planer boards pretty much sums it up. Trolling, whether shallow or deep is the norm with occasional jigging.
