About
Join me on a fully guided Striped Bass adventure in the beautiful waters surrounding Wilmington, North Carolina. We’ll be fishing the Cape Fear River system. A scenic, diverse fishery known for its healthy Striper population, tidal creeks, and hidden stretches of river. When you book a trip with me, you’re getting a hands-on, personalized experience tailored to your skill level. Whether you prefer casting gear or a fly rod, I’ll help you dial in effective Striper techniques, learn to read water and structure, and build confidence on the water. All rods, reels, tackle, and safety gear are provided, and most fishing spots are just 20 minutes from the ramp, giving you more time with lines in the water.
Most trips run early mornings or late afternoons when the fish are most active, and I’ll always point you toward the most productive seasonal windows. What sets my trips apart is the one-on-one instruction, relaxed atmosphere, and knowledge gained from true time on the Cape Fear River.

I grew up in Titusville, Florida, fishing Mosquito Lagoon for redfish, black drum, and tarpon. That lagoon was my classroom for as long as I can remember a place that taught me patience, instinct, and how to read the water long before I ever thought about guiding.
I joined the Army in 2013, and it gave me something rare, the chance to fish different waters all over the world. From remote coastlines to species I never imagined crossing off my bucket list, I learned how to read new environments quickly and adapt to different fisheries. That experience deepened my respect for fishing and sharpened the instincts I bring to every trip.
