Captain
Matt Paylor

Member since November 2018 Atlantic Beach, United States
Background
Born and raised on the NC coast, naturally, I became addicted to the saltwater environment. I love the challenge of fishing. It is very rewarding when a game plan for targeting certain species of fish is perfectly executed.
Techniques
I have spent countless times fishing with gill nets, cast nets, gigs, and rods. My preferred method is rod and reel. This method can be enjoyed while by myself or with a group of friends.
