Biography:
Fishing began as a child, as a young as he can remember. He spent his time on the lakes and rivers of Western New York. Starting with a 16' runabout and gradually working his way up over the years to a 31' fully rigged charter / tournament boat. The fun of fishing as a child started and fueled the obsession as an adult.
Owner of Dream Catcher Sportfishing and operator of the 31' Tiara, "Dream Catcher", Jim is a US Coast Guard Master Captain. Predominately he spends the spring time fishing for salmon and trout on Lake Ontario and summer / fall for walleye on Lake Erie chartering and tournament fishing.
The tournament team participates in all the major walleye tournaments in the Erie Basin of Lake Erie. They have consistently finished in the top of the field. Their highlight was winning the 2012 Amera-Can tournament, one of the largest in the area.
Conducting many pro staff seminars at fishing clubs, outdoor shows and stores gives Jim the ability to share his knowledge and experience as well as promote techniques and products to educate others to increase their success.
In 2012, Jim and his wife / fishing partner, Diane, took their passion for the outdoors to a new level creating Innovative Outdoors. Their business focuses on selling and promoting fishing and hunting products that have been personally tested and proven.
