I been fishing since I can remember. I was 4 years old when I caught my first fish, a barbot. I guess you could it was the fish that hooked me. That desire, lead me to start fishing the rivers and shoreline in my area using a bicycle until I got a motorcycle and with that I could expand the areas I fished as well as the frequency. After a change in jobs, later in life, lead me from motorcylces to the marine world, where I went from racing and working on motorcylces to fixing boats and competing in bass tournaments. I have been doing this for the past 25 plus years. I am a Master Tech for Evinrude/Johnson outboards and Mercury Outboard certified and run a small engine repair business, in Franktown between Carleton Place and Smiths Falls, that specialises in marine and motorcycles. I make my own custom fishing rods and soft plastics. I retail for Gambler Lures, Interstate Batteries, North Fork Composites and MotorGuide Trolling motors. I own 2 boats a 14ft Princecraft Fisherman for small lakes and a Gambler bass boat with a 200HP Evinrude. I am also the president of BAOO(Bass Anglers of Ottawa) an introductory bass tournament fishing club in Eastern Ontario.
