Captain
Barry Bierstedt

Member since March 2018 Carolina Beach, United States
Background
Barry Bierstedt is a second generation captain and fisherman. He began fishing offshore at a young age of 6 and tried commercial fishing at 8. Barry was introduced to charter fishing by his father and has never looked back. Fishing is not only his great passion; it’s a way of life. Barry loves the waters and sharing his knowledge with others.
Techniques
I prefer to slow troll for pelagic species but also do fast trolling and bottom fishing. I love to live bait fish when possible as the strikes it creates are like nothing else.
