How did you get started guiding?

I started out guiding fishing in the Lower Laguna Madre and hunting trips in west Texas about 6 years ago. My passion for fishing has lead me to being a full time fishing guide.

What makes you different from other guides?

To me it is more than just catching fish. Sure we all want to catch the most and biggest fish, but we also like telling the stories. I like to slow down and enjoy mother nature. I want my clients to get the full experience of the adventure.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
