Pierre Agena

Member since February 2021 Wilmington, United States
Background
Hello! I am Captain Pierre, welcome to Rising Sun Fishing! I grew up spending my summers down in Kure Beach and fishing around Fort Fisher both nearshore and inshore. While attending UNC-Wilmington for my undergraduate, I took up tournament fishing for fun. It was then I realized that my passion needed to be shared with all. I spent several years mating offshore in Surf City, NC before acquiring my captains license, all while chasing redfish, trout, flounder, and sheepshead from Topsail to Fort Fisher for over ten years.
Techniques
When it comes to my style of fishing, you can expect to do it all! Whether its throwing artificial lures or live bait, we choose the technique that is producing at that time of year.
