Member since September 2019 Atlantic Beach, United States
Background
My father owned a small tackle shop when I was little and ran charters on the weekends. I fell in love with it being with dad all the time. Years later I went off to college on a division II football scholarship. At the end of my sophomore season I left school to get my captains license and start fishing. I am chasing my dream of being an offshore fishing guide and I love being on the water everyday.
Techniques
I love trolling for the moments of absolute chaos but bottom fishing holds a special place in my heart as well. To me the bottom is where the true good eats are but trolling is where you catch fish you’ll remember forever.
