Harvey Abke

Member since July 2017 Brenham, United States
Background
Capt. Harvey grew up on Lake Somerville, so it's safe to say that he knows it like the back of his hand! As well as this, he was raised in a family of fishing fanatics, and soon developed his own love for angling. He's been guiding on Lake Somerville since 2001, and knows the hottest spots to target for a huge variety of incredible freshwater fish. He's landed some seriously impressive catches, too, including 58" bull Redfish, and 32" Hybrid Striped Bass. In
Techniques
Trolling and fishing with rod and reel
