About Your Guide

Parker W.

Independent Guide

Parker has been fishing ever since he could hold a rod in his hand. He grew up in Southern California and that is where his passion for it all began. He entered and won his first bass tournament at the age of 13 and has been competing since. With two top tens on the FLW Western series including a 2nd place finish at Lake Havasu along with years of victories at the majority of lakes around southern California, he is no stranger to competition or seasonal patterns. For many years he put the tournament scene behind him in order to focus on targeting trophy bass and was rewarded with countless bass over 10 pounds! He has taught and coached all levels of fisherman from Professional Surfer Mikey Wright to young kids just getting into the sport. His next goal is to share what he has learned and what he knows and be as dedicated of a guide as possible.
