Sfondo
My father started guiding inshore trips in the early 80s on Calcasieu Lake in Southwest Louisiana. In 1984, my parents started Big Lake Guide Service on Calcasieu Lake. I came along in 1987 and it seems like I've been in a boat ever since. As a child my parents employed up to 12 captains. As scary as it sounds, you could say I was raised by fishing guides, literally and figuratively. They were all like my older brothers. My parents somehow cultivated an environment of competition and respect on their dock. Competition amongst each other and respect for the customer, themselves, and the fish. They all strove to be the best on the dock every morning. The best fisherman, the best with customers, and the best conservationist. These lessons have stuck with me and I'll carry them until I'm long gone.
Tecniche
I believe my favorite style of fishing is with a soft plastic jig, in water depths over 6ft, with perfect current, for speckled trout. Something about the thought process makes it special. Making the cast slightly up current, throwing slack in your line so your bait can fall naturally, then getting your bait to the correct depth and gently twitching it along through the drift being careful not to have the plastic lure do anything unnatural. The thump of a speckled trout makes me grin every time. Knowing that I just put something fake in his environment, presented it in a way that made him think it was real, and MADE him eat it, is something I'll never be able to give up.
