Background
I have fished my whole life and I love teaching people how to fish. Watching someone catch a fish for the first time and seeing them light up, gives me great pleasure knowing I helped them archive a goal they had. I like to fish with live bait and popping corks. This is the best way to catch different species of fish. Then once we catch a few we can switch to lures.
