Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I am a native of Dare County and have been fishing since I was a young boy in Manns Harbor. I fished primarily in the Croatan Sound in small crafts when I was young and had my first paying job in the commercial fishing industry at age 15. My commercial work in the sounds of Dare County includes crabbing, shrimping, and gill net fishing. Offshore, I have worked on commercial longline boats catching primarily tuna and swordfish. Being on the waters of the Outer Banks is where I am most comfortable and happy, especially with a fishing pole in my hand. I have a great respect for nature and the coastal environment where I work and spend time with my family. I believe there can be great conservation of marine/coastal habitats through responsible fishing and respect for the environment. I am now using a combination of my diverse commercial fishing skills and knowledge, as well as my lifelong passion for recreational fishing, to share the experience of Outer Banks fishing with the public.
