Mason Porter

Member since November 2020 Carolina Beach, United States
Background
Born and raised in Wilmington, North Carolina, Captain Mason has always enjoyed fishing whether it was freshwater or saltwater. He chose to pursue inshore saltwater fishing because of his location and knowledge of the waters on the east coast of North Carolina. It is a true passion of his.
Techniques
Captain Mason specializes in Red Drum and Flounder fishing during the warmer months of the year. He usually targets Red Drum in 2-6 ft of water. In the cooler months, you will target Speckled Trout, Red Drum, and Black Drum. The captain enjoys taking kids out and on these trips, you will use mostly live bait. He is also very comfortable using artificial lures for the more experienced anglers.
