Background
Raised in Central Florida, have been fishing the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay for 40 years. Graduated from Eastlake High. Have always been fascinated with our local habitats around Pinellas County. Have fish from Hudson to the Skyway. I'm an inshore specialist. Specializing in big snook. Love to watch my clients catch fish, no matter what species. Great at giving knowledge on fishing and teaching knots. My motto: Know your Fish (F). Know the location of the fish (L). And your Presentation (P). Get it right, and it leads to a spectacular adventure.
