• Bio: Jeff's Earliest memoires are of being introduced to the great outdoors by his Father and Grandfather. From salmon fishing on a secluded pool on the Miramichi to tromping though the local marshes duck hunting, his passion for fishing and hunting lead to his first competitive bass event in the early 1980’s. Immediately he was hooked on the concept of catch and release fishing as a conservation method for sustainable fishing and the added excitement that competition brings! Recognizing the potential of many Non-Traditional species and fun and enjoyment “catching was more fun than fishing". He went about getting his storey out to public. Hosting invited guests from around the Globe , sharing his knowledge and passion with fellow anglers, has led to his 35-year journey of promotion, competition and engagement in East Coast fisheries. • Conservationist • 35 years competitive angling experience • National VP Stonhard (RPM) - 32-year career in Business Development / Marketing / strategic partnerships • Co host/Co Founder of the Award winning - Miramichi Striper Cup – Now Canadas largest fishing event • Founding Chairman – New Brunswick Sportfishing Association circa 1996 - 20-year home of the New Brunswick Bass Championship Series • New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund – Minister appointment to Augural NB Wildlife trust fund Council member -1997 • DFO – Stakeholders advisory committee member • Witness / Expert testimony – Parliamentary committee on Fisheries Ottawa • 2022 Team of the Year- NBSFA • Multiple TV show appearances – Fish’n Canada, Fins and Skins, Backwater casting, • Multiple media interviews/articles endless work - Promoting Fishing on East Coast • Educational seminars – Sportsman Shows /Boat shows / Bass Pro Shops
