I’ve been fishing fresh and saltwater as long as I can remember. I grew up in south Texas fishing Baffin, Copano and shamrock cove but over the past 15 years I’ve lived in south Houston and focused on learning the bay systems in this area. My focus is to not only put you on fish but also provide a great time and experience.
