Member since April 2023 Wanchese, United States
Background
My love of the ocean goes back for decades. From my time in the USCG, then owning & operating three commercial fishing businesses and now owner of this charter business has taken dedication to that sea bound love.
Techniques
Every day out there you have but one choice, “deal the hand dealt to you”. We try very hard to use whatever it takes to not only catch fish, but make our customers experience a good one!
