DOB: March 27, 1974 (The big 4-OH coming up!) Hometown: Charleston, South Carolina Aka: n/a Vessel: Any Native Watercraft Kayak Must Have Gear: A Lucid Grip! Favorite Rod & Reel: A Bull Bay or Century Rod for spinning / baitcasting. An Allen Fly Fishing Rod for fly fishing. Reels vary. Favorite line: FINS IGFA braid, or Tuf-Line monofilament.

Favorite Species to Fish: All of them - saltwater inshore, freshwater, fly fishing fresh and saltwater Favorite Bait/Lure: Depends on the time of year, species and live bait available. Savage lures are my favorite lure brand. Why Jason loves Fishing: As a child, I remember I just loved being on the water, on the beach, on a lake, at a pond or in the river...fishing. When you’re young and do something that you really enjoy, it becomes a part of you. Fishing is about more than fish. It teaches one so much about life. It is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable. It provides a connection with the entire living world. The serenity of the water restores us, it stirs the heart, and inspires the imagination. For those who don’t have what I have, it doesn’t make sense. But for those who do, you know exactly what I’m talking about. I think most of the people reading this understand what I mean when I say, I have fishing in my blood. It is the first place I go when I want to celebrate. It’s the first place I go when I need to grieve. It's beautiful and subtle, in a way that words cannot capture. Everything changes around us, but I often feel that time, and the change that comes with it, stands still when I’m out on the water. The moments you share while fishing with your loved ones, are priceless. Thoreau once wrote, “Everyone should believe in something. I believe I’ll go fishing.” |
