Growing up in Oceanside California, Nathan Winicki found his passion for fishing at a young age through going on open party trips with his dad, a former sport boat captain and veteran long ranger. For the past 14 years, Nathan has experienced everything from overnight trips to 10 day voyages, and has become an expert in long range tactics and tackle. Having recently graduated from CSU San Marcos with a degree in literature and writing, he looks to be an active contributor to BD Outdoors.
