Elliott Ambrose

Member since April 2024 Wanchese, United States
Background
Capt. Elliott Ambrose grew up fishing the Roanoke River slightly inland of the Outer Banks. He spent his days learning everything about every species he could. That passion led him to the ocean where he took a job as a mate out of Oregon Inlet. From then on, he spent all of his time fishing Inshore, Nearshore and Offshore. He has been a Captain for the last 10 years and now, an owner-operator. Capt. Elliott's experience and enthusiasm come together to give you the trip of a lifetime!
Techniques
Tuna, Mahi, Wahoo, Marlin, Sailfish and many other species of fish can be yours on any given day aboard the Roanoke. Whether you are an experienced angler or on your first fishing expedition, Captain Elliott and Mate Tres are equipped to meet your needs.
