Background
I grew up on the Outer Banks fishing, surfing, and hunting. Taking advantage of what the ocean or the sound has to offer is a daily endeavor living here! Running a full time fishing charter has always been a dream of mine and I will give 110% to make sure everyone has a great time!
Techniques
I love drift fishing in productive shallow water with light tackle for red drum and speckled trout. It allows you to cover a big space and increase your chances of finding fish. I have many methods that suit new and experienced anglers alike for success and most importantly a good time!

Our speckled trout population is as healthy as its ever been. Both morning and afternoon trips were action packed with impressive fishing! Every size trout from 14โ€ to 26โ€. Both groups kept what they wanted to eat and we had a great haul. Morning and afternoon trips both landed a citation trout. Excellent time to come and catch some speckled trout, red drum or bluefish! Book a trip!

We started off the day casting topwater poppers to big bluefish. After we had our fill and the sun popped out we went and found some hungry schools of red drum. Casting spoons into multiple schools of over 100 fish. The great variety continues and we are having good success for speckled trout, bluefish and red drum regulary. It should only get better from here! May is one of the best months of the year to fish in the Outer Banks!

Trout fishing has been exceptional since April this year! Some of the best trout fishing Iโ€™ve ever seen in the sound. The population is extremely healthy! Has been common to catch trout over 18-20โ€ any given day. Come catch some and enjoy some fresh fish tacos!
