USCG Captain for over 15yrs experienced in inshore, near shore, offshore and bottom fishing the waters of SENC for over 25yrs. We are in the water at Masonboro Boat Yard and pick up right around the corner at Trails End Park. Our boat is quick allowing us to go where we need to be to catch the fish! Depending on the weather we will use a variety of different methods on a variety of species. Trip can be catered to your skill level from beginner to advanced. The kids are welcome too as we customize each trip to the anglers we have on board that day. So let’s go meet up at the dock and go Fishing!
