I am professional saltwater angler and fishing guide from Wilmington, NC.  I also host "The Inshore Journal" fishing show.   My passion is fishing redfish tournaments from North Carolina to Louisiana.  Over the past 10 years my fishing teams have accumulated over 50 top ten finishes, 6 Team of the year titles, 2 Redbone Series Wins, 1 National Team of Year, and a Redfish Cup Championship Win.  I am very passionate about my sport and have been doing it since I was old enough to walk.  There are very few days that I am not on the water.  Over the years I have volunteered to do seminars for local tackle shops, regional and national  seminars, and have given my time to fish charity events as a guide.  My goal is to raise enough money to fish a full time tournament schedule on the major redfish circuits.
