How did you get started guiding?

I’ve been fishing these waters my entire life. Since I was young my dad would take me fishing since I was 3 years old. I have him to thank for bringing this passion into my life. I started working on sportboats up north sharpening my craft by great mentors, cutting fish and learning techniques which have excelled my skills as a fisherman and a captain. Fishing is my passion and I started doing it professionally on my own 5 years ago.

What makes you different from other guides?

Making sure my clients are looked after , communicated properly , taught as well as having a great time while learning something new. We have clients at all ranks. Our persistence , friends in the water, gathering intel , and our service is second to none .
