You may recall seeing me host the Southern Outdoorsman TV fishing show, which aired out of Knoxville, TN in the late 1980's. I specialize in trophy largemouth bass fishing Central Florida (the fishing capital of the world) where I have made my home since 1989. You may have also read about me, as there have been many articles written my successful techniques as both a tournament fisherman and a fishing guide in various sporting magazines. Or you may have seen me weighing in fish at tournaments all over the country, such as when I qualified for the 2003 Stratos Boats World Championship. Just like many of you out there, I first learned fishing from my Dad, and to respect the outdoors and what it has to offer. I has been fishing all over the country since 1962, but now make my home on Lake Weohyakapka (Walk-in-Water) employing a network of only the finest Orlando area bass fishing guides.

I have previously fished with such distinguished fishermen as the former president of Abu Garcia, Porter Waggoner, Jerry Reed, Tom Mann, Tom Mann Jr., Neil Bonnet and Davey Allison, just to mention a few. I also worked for Abu Garcia as the Assistant Director of Tournaments and Promotions for several years. This experience taught me everything there is to know about spinning and baitcasting reels. I no longer fishes in tournaments because I prefers teaching others about nature and watching the joy on the faces of children and adults alike when they catch their first Florida largemouth black bass!

Being an avid outdoorsman since childhood, I recognized the special needs and desires of others seeking their great outdoor adventure. That is why I created The Southern Outdoorsman Guide Service, after years of networking with the best of the Kissimmee fishing guides and Orlando area bass fishing guides. A complete outdoor outfitter service offering largemouth bass fishing Central Florida, exotic hunting, championship golfing and wildlife airboat excursions with all the special touches to make each trip not easily forgotten.
