Captain
Ger Hardin

Member since July 2023 Wrightsville Beach, United States
Background
I first started fishing in Wrightsville Beach when my Dad used to take me to Johnnie Mercer's pier when I was about seven years old. Back then it was made out of wood, and I still remember the feeling of walking down that pier and looking at the waves below through the gaps in the boards. I started fishing offshore as I got older on boats that belonged to good friends, and after a lot of growing up and figuring out what I wanted to do with my life, I finally got a boat of my own back in 2002. I got my license shortly thereafter and have been making my living on the water ever since. The most rewarding thing about being a charter captain is taking people offshore for their first time and seeing how excited they get when they reel in their first fish, and then reel in another one, and another one.
Techniques
We troll for Spanish Mackerel on half days- not very big fish but fun to catch and good to eat. We troll for King Mackerel, Mahi, Amberjack and maybe a Cobia or a Sailfish if we're lucky on 3/4 and full days. I'm a one man show, meaning I don't carry a mate, so bottom fishing is only by special request.
