Pam Johnson began fishing the Texas coast as a child. From their fishing camp at Port Alto, Pam and her family delighted in frequent trips to Caranchua Bay's shorelines, bayous and sloughs for sand trout, redfish, black drum and croaker. Her earliest memories of family fishing and enjoying a family meal of their catch have inspired her to learn and create many seafood delicacies and pass them to TSFMag readers and others who purchase her cookbooks.
As an angler, Pam is passionate in her pursuit of this wonderful pastime. Developing angling and boating skills led to becoming a USCG and TPWD licensed charter captain and fishing guide with her husband, Everett, though they have both recently retired from guiding; along with her daily contribution and unflagging dedication to making TSFMag the finest saltwater fishing magazine it can possibly be.
Pam is equally at home plugging for trophy trout and snook alongside the best in Texas as she is cast-netting bait for grandkids and preparing a fine seafood dinner for family, friends, and dinner guests.
