Member since July 2019 Livingston, United States
Background
I have been fishing on Lake Livingston for 40 years now and in that time, I've gotten to know the area like the back of my hand. If the fish are biting, I will find them. I love nothing more than sharing my passion for fishing and the outdoors with everyone. I enjoy being around people, teaching them how to fish, and showing them the beauty that Lake Livingston has to offer.
