Tailing Tide Guide Service

Captain John Mauser is a fly fishing and light tackle guide out of Swansboro, North Carolina. He has been fishing the waters of North Carolina for thirty-five years. John spent his youth on the Chowan River in the North East part of the state hunting for bluegill and bass. The Chowan river was also the location where he first cast a fly rod…throwing little popping bugs at lily pads in search of bass. As a teenager, he became more familiar with the great saltwater fishing available along the coast.

John graduated from UNC Wilmington with a Marine Biology Degree and soon started working for the North Carolina Aquariums. For the past 15 years, Mauser has called Swansboro his home and has spent a great deal of his time learning the local waters. He and his wife have two sons, a twelve-year old and a six-year old, who always keep life interesting.
