Hi,

 My name is Taylor Watkins. I am a professional fisherman with The National Professional Fishing League (NPFL). I started fishing at a young age and have been seriously pursuing a career in professional fishing for about 6 years now. I started by fishing with a local federation club in 2016. That year, I was able to make the Alabama State team, which qualified me for the Federation Regional at Santee Cooper. At that tournament, I edged out all my competitors and qualified for Nationals at Table Rock. I ended that year with a top 10 finish at Nationals.

 After getting a taste for traveling the country and fishing unknown waters, I was hooked and knew I wanted to compete at the highest level. I then decided to enter what was then the FLW Costa Series. While competing at that level, I had mediocre success but just never could push through to the next level. This is when the NPFL came about, I was lucky enough to get an invite for the 2021-2022 season, so I jumped all over the opportunity.

 I am so exited to have the chance to start this new adventure with Dura-Deck Marine and the NPFL. This is such a great opportunity for me and this company to grow in the fishing/marine industry, during the coming years. I hope you are all ready to join the Dura-Deck Team in this journey to the top.

 I look forward to seeing you all on the water or along the way. Feel free to follow me @TDWFishing on all social media sites.

Tight Lines,

Taylor Watkins
