Captain
Aaron Beatson

Member since January 2017 Wanchese, United States
Background
I was raised in VA Beach, VA. As a youngster, I fished around lakes and the ocean. This area would be the location where my love for water took place. Maybe not the time when I was 5 and my dad threw me in the ocean, by my ankles, to teach me to swim. It didn't take long to get a bodyboard and a surfboard under my arm. Having 2 older brothers really helped when going on fishing adventures early in life. We came up with all kinds of reasons to leave the house and go surfing or fishing. It wasn't long till we started heading south, to the uncrowded beaches of the Outer Banks of NC. This is where I live now, with my 2 daughters Lily and Maddy, along with my wonderful wife Erin. My two older brothers live nearby and we have 7 children between the three of us to enjoy raising here on the beach. After learning the local ways of fishing techniques, I became passionate about taking friends fishing at different times of the year. I received my Captain's license soon after and never looked back!
Techniques
We light tackle fish for trout, flounder, reds or drum, blues, spanish, mahi, cobia and more! Sight casting in our tower for cobia is our preferred way to spend our summer days. We also offer clamming trips for anyone with little children that wanna come join the fun on a 1/2 or 3/4 day trip.
