Testimonial from Eric Torgeson
Thank you for your course which enabled my wife and I to realize our dream of fishing together in the ocean in our own boat!
My wife is excited and also trusting of me based on how I've approached it all using your teachings.
The confidence you gave me to no longer be an ocean wallflower will pay dividends forever!

Charles is extremely knowledgeable and has a great teaching style. I recommend him to those looking to make the move to the ocean.
