Carolina Style Sportfishing was founded by brothers Captains John and Jason Sadler with the aim of providing a professional fishing service in Pamlico Sound inshore, and offshore at the Outer Banks. The pair grew up fishing the local waters, and they have been passionate about the sport ever since hooking their first Trout as young boys. Both Captain John and Captain Jason have served in the US Coast Guard and since then they have served as a Boatsman's Mate and a Marine Technician respectively before founding their own fishing charter business.
