Member since January 2020 Santa Rosa Beach, United States
Background
I was raised around my father’s marina and fish camp on Black Creek, which is located between Santa Rosa Beach and Freeport, FL. Early on, I was excited to see what folks brought in. Then I started fishing on his dock hoping to catch fish as big as the ones brought in. After some success, I began to understand that this was something I could do on my own and I was hooked! Later, as a young boy, I was allowed to take the boat out on my own. Often times, I was invited to go along with some of the best fishermen and learn from them. During my downtime, I would rent VCR tapes and watch the pro’s how-to videos. Though times have changed, especially with technological advancements, I still find myself watching them from time to time. One thing remains constant: the more I watch and learn, the more driven I am to locate and catch more fish, especially the big ones! The best part of it all, I cast my burdens and cares away before the end of each day!
Techniques
I prefer an open-faced spinning rod and reels for the majority of my fishing. They afford a wider range of delivering your fish's next meal, whether it be live bait or an artificial lure. I will gladly instruct you on how to use them and give you a few bonus tips before we leave the dock! So, be certain to arrive 15 minutes early. You will be casting like a pro in no time! As for techniques, I prefer fishing with live baits. Throughout the areas we will be fishing, I have several pin fish and crab traps scattered about. Also, I have a couple of cast nets readily available to catch up bait before we venture out. Should I run into problems capturing any, I have an arsenal of tried and true lures readily available for you to use. To ensure you the greatest chance of success, I will gladly instruct and demonstrate the best method(s) with whatever you have attached to the end of your line!
