I am professional catfish guide who lives in Saginaw Texas. I offer guided catfishing trips on Lake Lewisville, Eagle Mountain Lake, Cedar Creek Lake, Ray Roberts, Lake Grapevine and the Brazos River.

I have been fishing for catfish only for a long time and am also the manufacturer of many sucessful catfishing products and catfish bait, as well as being the distributor for a catfish bait made by my good friend and fishing partner.  I am also the found of The Texas Catfishing Resource which is an internet website and catfish club focused in Texas Catfishing.

I spend a lot of time fishing and chasing down catfish and learning their habits and patterns each season so I can pass my fishing sucess on to my clients.

I am a seasoned catfish angler with a proven track record in finding and catching channel catfish, blue catfish, flathead catfish and trophy blue catfish. I enjoy all types of fishing for catfish but my favorite would be rod and reel fishing for trophy blue catfish. You just cannot beat the excitement of tangling with a monster blue catfish on the end of your fishing rod.

I have been featured in many local and national media publications for my expertise in fishing for catfish as well as jug fishing. Some of these publications include In Fisherman Magazine, In Fisherman's Catfish Guide, Texas Fish and several publications in Texas Fish and Game Magazine.

I pretty much live and breathe catfishing as you can see it's a big part of my life.

I take all kinds of folks fishing for catfish on my guided fishing trips from those that just want to go with their friends and family and catch a nice mess of catfish, to the serious catfish angler that wants to learn more about finding and catching catfish.

I provide a safe and family friendly environment that is focused on my clients!

First and foremost, everyone always wants to know why they call me Redneck. Well, it's just one of those things that someone calls you, and it sticks and everyone starts calling you that. I started up about 5 years ago and just stuck with me. Half the people I know don't even know my real name anymore, so everyone just calls me Redneck.

I grew up in the outdoors hunting and fishing and camping has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I grew up as a child at Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas fishing with my father and grandfather on a continual basis, and I guess that is where my love for fishing began.

As a kid I would spend hours on end fishing at Possum Kingdom Lake for Catfish, and Perch. We had a boat dock there at the lake and I would set Yo-Yo's on the boat dock for catfish, and help run trotlines for catfish, somebody was always fishing around there either out in the boat or on the boat dock so there was always something to be involved in.

My interest in fishing and camping continued throughout my teenage years and I kept fishing every chance I got. I used to spend time fishing Eagle Mountain Lake, Possum Kingdom, Grapevine and Marshall Creek from a 14 Ft Flat bottom Jon Boat and spent lot's of time running trotlines and juglines fishing for catfish, and I even chased some bass and crappie now and then.

As I got older my interest in fishing for Catfish increased and I spent more and more time catfishing and less time trying to catch bass and crappie. I had always enjoyed catfishing more than anything else, so I eventually ended up selling off my fishing lures and light duty equipment and traded up to start fishing for catfish only.

Many years later in 2001 I started the Texas Catfishing Resource, and internet site that was dedicated to promoting and exchanging information on fishing for catfish. The Texas Catfishing Resource was an immediate success and is the first and only organized group of Texas Catfish Anglers. The Texas Catfishing Resource currently has about 1100 active Texas Catfish Anglers as members and is still growing everyday.

Some folks tell me I have catfish on the brain. In addition to being a professional catfish guide I also am the manufacturer of Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap. Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap is an Old Fashioned Homemade Lye Soap Catfish Bait the is commonly used as a catfish bait for jug fishing with juglines or for Trotlines, but also makes a great rod and reel bait for catfishing because it stays on the hook so well. Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap is made from a 65 year old family catfish bait recipe. Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap is a true homemade catfish bait.

I started selling the Catfish Bait Soap a few years ago when I had reached the point I was giving so much of it away that I couldn't afford it anymore. We put the Catfish Bait Soap available for sale on the internet and put it in a few stores around Texas and the rest of the Catfish Bait Soap story is history. When you make a quality product it sells itself and that is certainly the case with Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap.

I had sold Redneck's Catfish Bait Soap on the internet and through local stores for a few months when I started searching for an alternative to the old juglines I had been using. I had always used bleach bottle juglines and 2 liter coke bottle juglines and was tired of them taking up space in my boat. I began toying around with different jugline designs and finally came up with a good design and made up sevral dozen of these fishing jugs for my own use.

People kept seeing me at the lake and started asking about my juglines and where they could by some so it was not too long and Redneck's Juglines were born, we started up a small shop and started manufacturing the juglines for sale on the internet and through local stores. Just like our catfish bait soap, Redneck's Juglines for Jug Fishing were an instant success and our phone was ringing off the hook from folks wanting to buy our juglines.

I kept selling our original juglines for jug fishing and then in early 2004 we began playing around with some modifications to the original juglines to make them "flag" or notify you when you had a fish on the jugline or when the jugline had been "hit". We made these modifications and started testing these new fishing jugs and before we had even finished testing them had people all over the area lakes asking about these new fishing jugs and where and when they could get some. It was not long after I finished our testing that I started selling Redneck's "Fish On" Flagging Catfish Juglines.

I still sell our our Redneck's Original Juglines in addition to our Fish On Flagging Catfish Juglines.

I had been using a catfish bait manufactured by my friend Benny Roberts in Decatur Texas for quite some time called Sure Shot Catfish Punch Bait and had a lot of people asking me about this catfish bait because it is not sold in stores. I decided to start distibuting Sure Shot Catfish Punch Bait for my friend Benny Roberts so there would be an outlet for his Sure Shot Catfish Punch Bait in the Dallas Fort Worth area and also so there would be an online store that could accept credit cards for his catfish bait.

I started guiding for catfish during the midst of all this because people were always asking me to take them catfishing because they wanted to learn more about my espertise in finding and catching channel catfish and blue catfish
