| I’m a lucky person who was born and
raised here in the central piedmont of the Carolinas. Hunting and fishing here has
provided me with a lifestyle of many wonders. I was one of four boys born into a country family on the fringes of Rock
Hill, SC. All I had to do with my time after chores was hunt and fish. I grew up in a time
when you hunted and fished to eat, so I learned to do things fairly well. I'll turn 46 on
my next birthday and can proudly say, I do not know what alcohol tastes like. Being
serious about hunting and fishing didn't leave time for alcohol, but I can tell you where
the big fish run!
In my lifetime, I've traveled all over the Carolinas
learning it’s many rivers and lakes. Through my adolescence, I've learned by
trial and error and just spending time in the great outdoors. When I couldn't figure
things out on my own, I had many kind people to correct me and put me on the right track.
The best fishing trips don't just happen by going to the
river and throwing your bait in. You have to do your homework except your classroom is
outside and has a better view. Rivers and lakes change with each rain. You have to
constantly run these waters to keep up with the changes. Trees wash in, deep holes fill
in, and shallow runs wash out to become deep holes. I have dedicated my life to learn the
outdoors. Great fishing trips happen for me regularly.
I have been blessed in my adventures and caught a lot of
big fish. I would like to share my many years experience with you to show you a taste of
what I have seen, experienced, and lived my life doing.
