Captain
Brad Ward

Member since April 2023 Nags Head, United States
Background
Capt. Brad runs charters out of the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. He started running the Gal-O-Mine then upgraded to the Moana, a 55’ Buddy Cannady Custom Carolina Sportfisher. These waters are known for Marlin and Tuna and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water.
Techniques
Trolling for tunas, especially Bluefins. The bite is absolutely amazing. But I really just enjoy the thrill of the bite, of any fish.
