Hi, I'm Captain Harvey Wall. I'm a North Carolina native, a proud U.S. Army veteran, and a graduate of the United States Maritime Academy. I've been a fishing guide since 2000, helping anglers of all skill levels learn more about fishing — and have a great time doing it. My love for fishing started early, thanks to my great-grandfather, who first put a rod in my hands. Ever since, I've spent my life on the water learning the best ways to consistently put fish in the boat. When you fish with me, you're in for a fun, hands-on experience. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, I'll make sure you enjoy the trip while learning a thing or two about fishing in the Carolinas. Let's get you on the water!
