I started my fishing at an early age and grew into tournament fishing up and down the Mississippi River around Memphis . As my son grew in age we switched to fly fishing all over the western states and Alaska . Eight years ago we moved to Florida and learned a totally new way to fish. Soon I couldn’t get redfish off my mind and was hooked! I help manage a St.Joe development called RiverCamps and was instrumental in getting the IFA Redfish Tour to hold their Championship here in RiverCamps and they have been back for their third straight time. I’d like to thank Tri – State and John for being there each time the event has been held. Thanks to all you guys do and supporting James and I as part of the Tri- State fishing team. We’ve had a ball this year fishing as a team on the Redfish Tour and are looking forward to another year as the IFA grows and Tri – State Ranger  grows in 2009.
