I started as a mate on a charter boat, over 12 years ago, since then I've worked my way up to the captain position, with my own boat, after years of commercial fishing AND charter fishing, I've learned these local waters and know exactly what to target and when to target the fish that you want to catch. The main fish we target here in onslow Bay are grouper, snappers, mahi mahi, sailfish, wahoo, king mackerel and cobia.
