Captain
Shad Barfield

Member since May 2021 Calabash, United States
Background
Captain Shad has been fishing the Carolina coasts his entire life! It all started when he was barely old enough to hold a rod. At 18, he joined the Coast Guard and traveled all around the US' coastlines. His time in the Coast inGuard made him realize just how amazing his native Carolina coasts are. As a result, he decided to choose a career that would allow him to introduce others to the splendor of the Carolinas and catch fish along the way. Captain Shad's vast experiences working as a captain and a first mate on various model-makes and styles of boats provide him with a firm foundation as a charter boat captain to ensure you a safe and productive trip.
Techniques
We catch fish while having fun!! Chartering with us is booking an experience. We are kid and family-friendly, as well as group or individual-oriented. If you are looking for a fun Captain that works hard for you to catch fish and have a great experience, then we are the boat for you! (Captain Shad goes above and beyond to put you on fish, entertain the passengers(especially the children and young adults), and provide the safest possible environment.)
