Gary’s Journey

Gary fished on the Brazos, Navidad, Lavaca and Guadalupe rivers in South Texas as a young boy. His Grandad Turner and Grandpa Winebrenner were both avid fishermen. They took him to the rivers to catch catfish and stare in Awe at the gigantic gar swimming by. He caught his first fish at 4-years-old.

Gary’s dad also took him fishing. When they moved to Lakeland, Florida they got a Jon boat and fished Scott Lake, Banana Lake, and several other local lakes. Church friend Tom Franklin came along many Saturday mornings to help catch 100 or more bluegills. Gary would spend the rest of the day scaling and cleaning them. To this day he loves to catch bluegills.

Fast forward 5 decades: he’s fished on 3 continents, caught thousands of fish, built a large network of fishing friends and acquaintances who love to tune in for Gary’s instruction, adventure, and good‑natured humor.
