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!

Water was nice so we fished the beaches for some kingfish and then headed back in to the inlet to fish the snook bite and it was on fire. We ended up catching a snook that was all tangled in fishing line so we took it on board and untangled it so it could swim better.
