Ronald Jones

Member since December 2017 Placida, United States
Background
I have been fishing since I was a little guy. I have fished all over the Midwest and part of Canada. When I moved to Florida with my wife and children, I couldn't wait to get back to fishing. Once I caught my first big saltwater fish I was hooked, truly spoiled for saltwater fishing. I love taking people out for a good time of fishing or just swimming on the sand flats or beaches and some dolphin viewing. I love to share in that fish of a lifetime experience with people.
Techniques
I fish everywhere from inshore to offshore. Artificial or live bait. Trolling lures, casting at mangroves, or bottom fishing. Pretty much anything goes with me.
