Wow! Time flies. Fast. I am having a hard time believing it has been over 20 plus years since I met Dave. I remember eating dinner with Dave and Tim Tarter at a restaurant on Main St. in Louisville one night after the hunting and fishing Expo closed.

Dave was retired when he started guiding so when he started mentioning retiring a few years back I never thought he would or maybe like many others I hoped he never would. He has been a great asset for Fishin.com and it has been an honor being associated with him for all these years. Back in the "wild" days of the website, for those that remember, Dave provided a voice of reason. He kept a lot of people and conversations in line and made persistant offenders vanish. "He looked after the site," which was a blessihng me being crazy busy.

The thing about Dave – he is always willing to help strangers with advice on how to catch fish. Someone might make a post asking a question about Kentucky Lake and Dave would chime in with a detailed answer. In my opinion that is the best advertising that a guide can do, "helping people". When a new guide would inquire about posting fishing reports I would always tell them the more information the better and direct them to look at Dave's reports as an example of how to do it right.

Here is a nice article written about Dave last November.
