services, offering digital marketing and business process solutions.

The founder of Inside Sportfishing, Michael Fowlkes has fished his entire life. Here he is showing off a few Bonita, caught on bone jigs, during a half-day trip onboard the Westerner running out of Davey’s Locker in 1959. He’s on the left, pictured with a couple of friends and his grandparents, Col. A.R. “Ott” and Charlotte Giesen. He used to filet every fish and sell them to neighbors for .25 cents each. Michael began working as a pinhead on the Westerner when he was ​only nine years old.

​After years of dealing with the insanity that’s Hollywood, Michael decided to get back to his roots, and formed Michael Fowlkes Productions as a way to return to his passion for fishing. 

In 1989, Inside Sportfishing premiered, which became the longest running, highest rated fishing series in the history of Fox Sports West. 

​Broadcast for 27 consecutive years, the series was also delivered nationally on the World Fishing Network.
