I have been fishing since I was 2 years old. About 10 years ago, I decided to join a veterans society and get them on the water. I started slow with that but I immediately fell in love with the teaching aspect of fishing. I found out what I needed to do to get my captains license and went to work on it. I'm going into my 5th year as a guide and I've absolutely loved it. Being on the water is therapeutic to me and I enjoy bringing that into my clients lives. Come experience a great day on the water.

I have been fishing the Pamlico Sound and its rivers and estuaries for 25+ years. My dad raised me catching largemouth bass but the saltwater bug bit on our first speckled trout trip. That was a special experience for me and I strive to provide that same experience to all my clients, seasoned vets or first timers.

About Your Trip

I have been fishing the Pamlico Sound and its rivers and estuaries for 25+ years. My dad raised me catching largemouth bass but the saltwater bug bit on our first speckled trout trip. That was a special experience for me and I strive to provide that same experience to all my clients, seasoned vets or first timers. I am very laid back on the boat and allow you to customize your trip. We can target any species you'd like, however, I do specialize in speckled trout. Old drum (40+ inches) are in our area from around August to October and we get a short 2 week flounder season that starts September 1. Most of my fishing is artificial lures but will do live/cut bait if needed. We have a great fishery and should have an action packed day. I provide all fishing tackle, gear, rods and reels. I also have a 65 quart cooler with ice and bottled water. My boat has a blanket for hire license so you don't have to worry about fishing license or insurance, I have that covered. All you'll need to bring would be snacks and drinks if you'd like something other than water. Alcohol is allowed and you get to pick the radio station. I clean and package your fish and provide ice for your travel cooler if needed. Tight lines and I look forward to having you on the water.
