I grew up fishing in South Florida and knew I wanted to be a fisherman as my career. I have been fishing the waters up and down the east coast for over 38 years. I have spent time on everything from drift boats, long lining, private boats, charter boats and have owned my own charter operation for a long time now.

What's biting with Fishin Fannatic Sportfishing in Wanchese

Trout are well and truly back, as are Red Drum inshore. However, when the weather's fine, nothing beats the Tuna action offshore! Head out to the Gulf Stream and get your fill of these monsters!
