Derek Rogers

Member since January 2026 Dauphin Island, United States
Background
I was born and raised on the Alabama Gulf Coast. I've loved fishing since I was a kid have almost 2 decades of experience fishing the Alabama waters. It's more than a job. It's a passion for me and I cannot wait to share my knowledge and experience with everyone.
Techniques
Summer time fishing will consist of live bait light tackle fishing, around beaches, rocks, rigs and much more. Winter time fishing will be all artificial in the river chasing big trout and redfish.
