Experienced Eastern North Carolina Captain for over 40 years. Retired from the Medical Field a year ago and now going nearly full time guiding and Charter . I’m experienced in everything from the rivers to 100 miles offshore and everything in between . I offer Custom Charters , meaning ,, if you can imagine the trip, I’ve already done it many times and can guarantee a uniquely gratifying experience . Unless the weather is surprisingly challenging, I can always adjust to the conditions to salvage a trip. Let your imagination lead you. I have 3 amazing vessels that offer a unique experience from the super shallow flats and beach access , to comfortable trolling , fishing , and ECO Tours . All Customizable to the clients needs . Available all week . Morning, midday, and sunset cruises. Pamlico, Craven , and Carteret Counties are ALL my backyard. I love to teach techniques of fishing and local lore . I’ve raised 5 daughters and numerous sons to the blessings of the salt water . I love youngins and their parents and catering to the next generations of anglers and Captains . Teaching everything I know and have experienced is an opportunity to leave a Legacy . I’m a very young 60ish Captain and fell like I’ve got 30 more years to impart experiences and knowledge . Let’s make Memories ! On this vessel particularly. .. fishing … Trout, Drum, Tarpon , Spanish, Bonito, Kings, Cobia , bottom species . Mahi as they move within 30 miles . Tuna in season.

I have the unique guarantee to be able to guide clients to the most amazing experiences to truly find all sorts of critters, shellfish, starfish , sanddollars, and virgin beaches in our area . Of course I’ll have to confiscate your cell phones and gps devices plus utilize blindfolds to and from the areas of paradise. Of course so that said areas remain anonymous. I specialize in personal private experiences , but I can also put the serious social beach goers in the middle of the “Fun” crowd . These ECO Tours can be customized to include some fishing as well for a combination . ECO plus Sunset fishing/cruising I has been a big request . And it’s amazingly fun .
