Member since December 2021 Niceville, United States
Background
Having grown up in a military family and transferring to the Panhandle, some of my best times spent growing up was wade fishing the area bays with my Dad. Later, as a teen, I started work on my first charter boat here in the Gulf.
Techniques
Fishing from a 21' Parker Center Console equipped with an I-pilot trolling motor, I prefer inshore Bay Fishing the many places our bays & bayous have to offer. I enjoy the fight & finesse it takes fishing with lighter tackle.
