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!

Real catches by this captain

  • Young angler proudly holding a black sea bass aboard a boat over open water.
    Fish 1
    Black Seabass
    My wintertime nearshore trips for sea bass fishing have been on fire all winter. We’ve been running just 3–10 miles offshore and bottom fishing over hard structure, and the bite has been steady from the first drop. Most trips we’re catching dozens of sea bass per person, with plenty of action in between keepers. We’re sorting through them to find the right ones, and when it’s on, we can put a solid box together fast — current limit is 7 keepers per person. If you want a winter trip with nonstop bites and a cooler full of fish, this is about as good as it gets.

    Redfish
    The winter redfish bite has been solid in the backwaters lately. We’ve been catching decent slot-sized reds (18–27”) on a variety of soft plastics, with fish schooling up in shallow water. On those mild-weather days, the action can be nonstop. If you’re tired of sitting in the house, bundle up and come catch some reds!
