A word from Captain James Rose โ€“ Hey this is Captain James Rose of Redline Charters. I was born and raised in Wilmington, NC, and have lived here my whole life. My dad, Fred Rose, bought me my first boat at the age of 8, and ever since my passion for the water has grown. During my middle and high school career, I started fishing the inshore waters of Wrightsville Beach and learned so much. During my college career, I worked as a first mate and fished offshore almost every day. Today, I am my own captain who is passionate about putting my clients on fish. Book your charter with Redline Charters and have the adventure of a lifetime! - Capt. James Rose
