Gentlemen,
I need an experienced bay angler to teach me how to go after trout and reds. I also need someone to teach me the do's and dont's of bay boating, as well as advice and what to buy for what I want to do.

I just moved to Houston from El Paso. I have a little salt experience from bi-annual trips to Sargent as well as three years spent in South-East Georgia (however most of that time was spent in Iraq). I am no novice angler either, I have my own rods and tackle, however I wouldn't mind some assistance on artificial in the salt.

I am not looking for a paid guide to take me out for 4 hours and then clean my fish. I am looking for an experienced "fishing role model" if you will. Basically someone wouldn't mind company, has experience, wants to fish a day and not pay for fuel or bait. I promise I am interesting company! I am a 1 footed 28 year old abnormally tall white guy who is starting PA school in the fall, has a family, was an infantry medic in Iraq and Afghanistan and is, in my opinion, the coolest funniest guy ever! Haha!

I know this is a weird request, I could be a psycho who is going to pull a gun on you in open water and take your boat. All I can do is promise I will leave my gun in the truck (by the way if you have a problem with guns in trucks we probably wouldn't be good fishing buddies "COME AND TAKE IT"), I am after all a white boy combat veteran in Texas, OF COURSE I HAVE A GUN/GUNS! Haha. Also, I only have a nub for a right foot so if I was the type to try to take your boat you could just push me to the right, I go down every time. LOL. I am just joking around now so it's time to throw the line out and see if I get a hit!

Thanks for reading folks!

I have zero issue with travel. I live in Spring so I have to travel a bit no matter what! I would say my range is Matagorda to Beaumont. Actually that's a lie I would probably go further, I have satellite radio and cruise control. haha.

I live in spring as well. We have a place in Port O Connor TX. We keep our boat there in a stall. Is that something you might be interested in doing ?

Never leave your gun in your truck! You can carry it in a boat with or without a CHL. I won't be fishing Texas again until November, but you're welcome to join us any time we go. Just be aware that we fish from kayaks, and we mostly chase reds in the marsh.
