Captain
Brian Patteson

Member since July 2022 Hatteras, United States
Background
Captain Brian grew up inland but started making trips to the Outer Banks back in the 80s and soon developed an interest in fishing and all sorts of marine life, especially seabirds. This led to working as a deckhand on a variety of vessels for over a decade. He feels fortunate to work with some of the best captains in the area as a mate. In 2005, the captain purchased his first charter boat and just a year later he was able to upgrade to his current vessel. The Stormy Petrel II has served the company's needs well for over 15 years now, and the crew looks forward to seeing you aboard.
Techniques
Captain Brian especially likes bottom fishing, live bait fishing, and trolling for Mahi and Tuna when they are present in good numbers. The captain likes to target species where the chances of catching are high and which the angler can hook on their own if possible.
