Captain
Thomas Merrill

Member since March 2020 Hatteras, United States
Background
Captain Tommy has been working on the water since 1980 and has been running charter trips since 1999. He didn't have much choice in terms of his career as his great grandfather and his grandfather were all into fishing! He loves working with new people and showing them the ropes. Nothing makes him happier than when a beginner catches a fish for themselves after listening to his advice.
