About Nathan

I grew up in Brookings, South Dakota, and have always taken every chance I get to be out on the water. For the last 3 years, I have lived on Lake Vermilion during the summer, where I have spent my time working at Ludlow's, along with guiding.

Every trip is run on a clean, fully rigged 20ft Lund with quality electronics, premium rods and reels, and all bait and tackle included.
