When not fishing national tournaments throughout the western states, Tony enjoys spending time guiding on the Arizona lakes he grew up fishing. Born and raised in Phoenix, he spent his high school and college years not playing your traditional sports, but instead participating in America's real past time, fishing. While in college at Arizona State University, Tony  began competitive tournament fishing and 13 years later shows and has the same passion for sport he enjoys so much. Over the years Tony has compiled an impressive local resume, which includes an Arizona Region American Bass Angler of the Year title and over 60 top 10 finishes on Arizona lakes throughout the last ten years.  Decided to compete on a national level in 2003, fishing FLW's Everstart and Stren Series Western events ever since, earning three FLW Everstart and Stren Series top 10 appearances and finishes, a top five finish in the 2004 FLW Everstart Championship Event in Kentucky and again a FLW Stren Series Western Division Qualifier in 2006 at Lake Wheeler in Alabama. Most recently, Tony won the 2006 Arizona Bass Fishing Classic, the largest local circuit and championship tournament in Arizona. Having taken many guide trips for all species of fish all over the world, Tony understands and enjoys the excitement of catching fish and wants to pass that enjoyment on to everyone that steps foot in his Ranger bass boat. Hope to see you on the water!

While I do not recall all of my younger memories, I have been told that at the age of three it was evident that fishing was in my blood.  My family and I spent the majority of our free time fishing Arizona’s vast desert waters, from the deep pools of the Lower Salt River to the coves of Canyon Lake.  In twenty-seven years I have always found a way to balance school, work, friends and family, but most importantly fishing. 

There were many occasions while attending Arizona State University that myself and another guides would set aside our textbooks and head to the lake.  Over the years I have had many collective fishing experiences and would like to provide you an opportunity to do the same.

Born and raised in Phoenix, Troy has fished Arizona waters as far back as he can remember. From catching trout in Arizona's northern streams to bass in our local lakes. Troy soon took a liking to the challenge of largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing and soon became caught up in tournament bass fishing, where he has for years fished all the local tournament circuits these lakes have to offer.

A dedicated Phoenix Firefighter, Troy is also dedicated and has a neat ability to pass on his fishing know how and to also put his clients on fish.
