Born and raised fishing Eastern North Carolina, with a passion for teaching and putting people on fish.
Captain Chandler grew up fishing the waters of Eastern North Carolina — a seasoned expert with a passion for teaching and sharing the art of angling. With years of experience and a friendly demeanor, he is dedicated to making sure every trip is action-packed and enjoyable.
He specializes in speckled trout, red drum, flounder, and striped bass across the Pamlico River, Pamlico Sound, and Neuse River — and he will happily walk first-timers through every technique along the way.
Our top-of-the-line fishing vessel is meticulously maintained for safety, reliability, and a comfortable, productive day on the water. It fishes 3 to 4 people and comes ready for serious inshore action.
