About Shane Turcotte

I have been an avid angler for over 30 years. I have enjoyed many hours fishing as a grandson, son, father, friend and Pro. I have been fishing as a Walleye professional for the last 8 years on the Northern Ontario Walleye Trail (ww.nowt.ca), Cabelas Masters Walleye Circuit(MWC), Aim ProTour and Represented Team Canada during the USA vs Canada duel. Most of my time is spent on the water as a tournament angler or showing others tips and techniques for catching all species through my guide service, HookedProfessional Guide Services & Promotions. It is always a great feeling to show someone new to the sport the lifestyle of fishing.
