I caught the fishing bug when I went fishing with my dad and saw him land a blue marlin. I have been hooked ever since.
My fishing travels have taken me fishing from the Carolinas to the Caribbean. I have fished in south Florida for tarpoon, snook, red grouper, snapper, cobia, and sailfish before moving to the Virgin Islands. In the Virgin Islands I fished for blue and white marlin, wahoo, tarpoon, snook, dolphin (mahi mahi), and tuna.
The journey led me to the extraordinary fishery of the Pamlico Sound, located off the scenic Cape Hatteras. This back-country fishing haven is unlike any other, with its unique ecosystem supporting a diverse range of species. These flats of the sound are perfect for seeking gray trout, speckled trout, bluefish, flounder, red drum, and black drum. Beyond the tranquil waters of the sound, near-shore fishing opportunities abound, offering chances to battle with cobia, albacore, and Spanish mackerel.
I firmly believe that the pinnacle of fishing lies in the back-country waters of the Outer Banks, specifically in the Pamlico Sound. It’s here that I guide anglers to hidden spots, discovered through years of exploration, where they can create lasting memories and enjoy bountiful catches. My expeditions cater to a variety of preferences, from inshore light tackle fishing to live baiting.
Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to the sport, my services are tailored to suit your needs. Fly fishing enthusiasts will find a welcoming environment, with my boat equipped with popup cleats to ensure a seamless experience free from snags. The ultimate goal is to provide an adventure that beckons you back to the Tightline, time and time again.
One of the joys of fishing is sharing your experiences with others. I encourage all who join me to bring their phones or cameras. Capturing these moments allows you to share your exhilarating fishing stories with family, friends, and even coworkers. It’s not just about the fish you catch; it’s about the memories you create and the stories you’ll tell.
Conveniently located in Hatteras and in close proximity to Frisco, Buxton, and Avon, this fishing paradise is accessible yet feels worlds away from the everyday hustle. It’s a place where the ocean whispers secrets of the deep and where each cast brings a new possibility.
So, whether you’re a seasoned angler or looking to embark on your first fishing adventure, the waters of the Pamlico Sound await. Join me in this journey where the thrill of the catch, the beauty of the surroundings, and the joy of shared experiences come together to create unforgettable moments. Let’s set sail on the Tightline and discover what the ocean has in store.
