Member since May 2020 Manteo, United States
Background
I really enjoy being on the water and as a marine educator I am passionate about experiencing what is in our aquatic environments. I am happy to pass that excitement on to clients. Our other captain is also a local waterman who understand the biology of the area and loves to share his stoke for the Outer Banks.
Techniques
I prefer sight casting, trout fishing and wreck fishing. I like the variety and am willing to fish in most any technique.

As sound waters and ocean waters cool off we should see some new species come into the area. Fishing gets really fun in the fall and there are fewer people on the water.
