Member since January 2026

Capt. John Rosser Baxley here and I'm excited to offer an inshore light tackle fishing experience targeting Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Striped Bass. You'll be aboard my 17ft Action Craft, ideal for two to three additional anglers. I'm passionate about sharing the beauty of my hometown Wilmington, NC's marshes and backwaters. Let's get out there and reel in some memories!
