Stewart Merritt

Member since February 2017 Morehead City, United States
Background
Captain Stewart Merritt is an enthusiastic Captain. With his attention to details, impressive experience, and vast knowledge, Stewart strives to provide the most memorable and eventful day out for all his guests and clients. He specializes in fishing for many inshore and offshore species, always knowing the hottest spots where the fish are hiding. Captain Stewart is also a great teacher: he enjoys the smile on kids' faces when they land their first fish!
Techniques
Bottom fishing is what I really like to get the anglers on, especially groupers. There is no comparison to the pull that a big gag grouper gives and how good they are to cook. I like to see groups come in with a full fish box and smiles on their faces, this is what keeps people coming back year after year. Inshore and Nearshore trolling can also be great fun and fishing, there are so many different species for us to catch in a relatively close area in this part of NC. Summer time can mean spanish mackerel, king mackerel, bluefish even mahi mahi are in fairly close proximity. In the late summer/fall the trophy red drum fishery in the Neuse River is a blast, 20-50 pound red drum on medium weight spin gear are an unreal experience.
