Background
I have been fishing since I was a small boy with my Dad. I remember waking up every Saturday to go wade fishing with my Dad or watching Flip Pallet on his TV show "Walkers Cay Chronicles." Ever since then, I have wanted to be a fishing guide. I love sharing my knowledge of fishing with others and seeing the big smile on their face when they reel in a big one!
