My name is James (Jamie) Grady.

I am a Veteran owned and operated fishing and duck hunting guide. My business is based in Hubert, NC near Swansboro.

I have been a lifelong sportsman who has enjoyed fishing and hunting around the world.

My roots are based in eastern NC, as a young man who grew up fishing for bass, bluegill and catfish. As a young man, I hunted for squirrels, rabbits, and whitetail deer.

I have always desired to be involved in conservation and preserving our resources for future generations to enjoy. However, my life took a different path when I joined the Army to serve my country.

I joined the active Army in 1993 and traveled to Germany, Alaska, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Colorado, and three separate, year-long, tours in Iraq. I was fortunate to hunt and fish in each of those places. Germany and Iraq were limited to fishing opportunities, but I enjoyed the great outdoors nonetheless.

adventures.

Since my retirement in 2016,

I have purchased a boat, fully outfitted with boater safety equipment, fishing equipment, duck decoys and a two-person layout boat.

I am a fully credentialed USCG-approved Charter Captain, NC state licensed guide, Insured, and fully certified. I maintain a drug and alcohol-free vessel with drug-testing enrollment.

I love spending time on the water and in the woods with my fellow outdoorsmen and women. Now that I am retired and able to dedicate myself to conservation, it is my true desire to make sure I give back to help preserve our valuable wildlife for future generations to enjoy.

Since October 2022 I have volunteered my boat and services to support Billy Burch Veterans Fishing Tournaments in Cedar Point, Military Appreciation Days in Morehead City, Disabled Outdoorsman USA in Oriental, & Take A Warrior Fishing in Morehead City on numerous occasions.

Please consider booking a trip with me to support a fellow veteran.
