Captain
Jared Best

Member since May 2019 Atlantic Beach, United States
Background
I was born and raised on Harkers Island which is a local commercial fishing community. I grew up on the water and have fished inshore and offshore my whole life. I chose to be a charter captain so I can share my knowledge and experience with other people and support my family doing what I love. With growing up around the fishing industry my whole life, I have acquired the knowledge and experience to catch many species of fish.
Techniques
I enjoy nearshore fishing for Spanish, Bluefish, Cobia, and Kings. I especially enjoy offshore trolling for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna and bottom fishing for Triggers, Snapper, Black Bass, and Grouper. And on certain days when the weather is just right, I love going off to the deep water and dropping down for Swordfish.
