After fishing the Gulf Coast for many years, I ran into Pat. He's different than the other Baffin area guides I interviewed. They were cocky, particular, and a little bit too much into themselves. I'm sure this is about the almighty dollar, and the "big d..k" contest at the fish cleaning tables, to get that picture of the biggest stringer, for job security, and ego. I'll put a big "El Paso" on that. Fishing is supposed to be fun, and after having my own 20ft, tunnel hull, in a slip in Aransas Pass, (for 8 years) the important thing is to get home safe, and have fun. (I did have an adventurous time, surfing the waves off of St., Joe's Island, on the way to wrecks and other secret spots) That describes Pat, except the stringers of the largest Speckled Trout I'd ever had. If you're fishing for meat, do the math, and go to a fish market. If you want an unforgettable, pleasurable experience, fish with Pat. No "boot camp" with him, just good teaching, fishing, and humor.
