Ryan Coleman

Member since January 2026 Sarasota, United States
Background
Have been fishing all my life. I started my full time freshwater guide service on Lake Lanier in 1998 and transitioned to saltwater recently. I have over 4000 guide trips completed. I also toured and fished on the BASS trail and have many tournament wins.
Techniques
Personally I prefer artificial fishing as it is what I have been doing most of my life. Inshore fishing for Snook and Redfish is so similar to bass fishing where I got my start.
