Captain
Derek Nelson

Member since December 2022 Wanchese, United States
Background
Capt. Derek runs trips out of Wanchese aboard a 53’ Custom Carolina boat. These waters are known for Billfish and Tuna, and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or trolling. With excellent knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water. From being featured in Men’s Health Magazine to tournament wins totaling $2mil+, you and your group will be in good hands!
