Background
"I have been fishing the Santee Cooper lakes for over 30 years and have always had great success catching big Cats. I decided it was time to love my job so I became a licensed fishing guide." Capt. Brad is an example of how it's never too late to follow your passion. He started fishing when he was 5 years old, had it as a hobby, and finally turned it into a profession.
