BEING FROM SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA, AND BORN TO A SPORTSMAN, I STARTED HUNTING AND FISHING AT AN EARLY AGE. BY FIVE YEARS OLD MY FATHER WOULD WRAP ME IN A BLANKET, STICK ME IN THE BOTTOM OF A PIROGUE AND HEAD OFF TO THE DUCK BLIND. SOON AFTER, I WAS INTRODUCED TO FISHING AND IT WAS NOT LONG BEFORE I WAS RIDING OFF TO THE NEAREST POND OR BAYOU WITH MY FATHER’S NEWEST ROD AND REEL TO CATCH WHAT EVER WOULD BITE MY BAIT.
I GREW UP PRIMARILY FISHING FOR LARGE MOUTH BASS, SAC-A-LAIT”CRAPPIE”, AND BULL BREAM, RED FISH AND SPECKLED TROUT. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO LIVE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA FOR THREE YEARS WHERE I LOVED FLOATING THE SHENANDOAH RIVER FOR SMALL MOUTH BASS. AND NEARLY SEVEN YEARS AGO I MOVED TO THE HOUSTON AREA AND AGAIN FIND MYSELF WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO FISH SOME GREAT LAKES AND BAYS FOR THESE FISH.
I WAS INTRODUCED TO KAYAK FISHING ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND HAVE FOUND A WHOLE NEW WAY TO ENJOY THE SPORT.
I HAVE BEEN FISHING TOURNAMENTS FOR YEARS AND HAVE JUST RECENTLY STARTED FISHING THE TEXAS SALTWATER/KAYAK SERIES, A SERIES OF TELEVISED EVENTS ON THE TEXAS COAST FISHING FOR RED FISH.
I AM PRESENTLY FISHING WITH THE SOUTHWEST PADDLE SPORTS KAYAK FISHING TEAM. I AM SPONSORED BY PRECISION TACKLE INC. AS WELL I AM PRO STAFF FOR KAYAK CHARTERS.
