Captain Patrick has enjoyed hunting and fishing his entire life. He grew up in upstate/central New York fishing the local waters for all species of freshwater fish in the lakes, rivers, and streams of central NY. He moved to the OBX in 2007 and mated for both inshore and offshore boats for 5 years, before taking his captain's license class in 2019.
