Bio: I know some in my line of work that try to sell themselves by listing all of their great fishing achievements and tournament victories, as could I, but my greatest achievements have not necessarily been on my boat, so that is what I would prefer to tell you about. Take a couple of minutes to read about me, and then decide if I'm the guy you want to spend a day on the water with! I was born in Virginia, where my mother pretty much raised me after she and my father split up. I spent my summers with my father, who always had a boat at Hatteras. When I was twelve years old, circumstances forced my father to fish full time, so now, his first love, fishing, had become a means of making a living. I spent each summer with my father, fishing inshore, offshore, and shark fishing trips. I didn't realize that I too had developed a passion for saltwater fishing, especially in the blue water. This went on until high school graduation, in 1984. College was never even a consideration. I had already begun my career, and had been in training early. My childhood summer home was now home for good.

We're Still Here! (12/03/2006)
[Outer Banks,NC] There hasn't been much going on since Thursday, a couple boats went tuna fishing and did well, and there were a handful of macks caught. I took a trip south on Thursday, to pick up a new set of outriggers, and it has been blowing ever since.
Beautiful Sunrise and Great Tuna Fishing (11/29/2006)
[Outer Banks,NC] We got an early start this morning, after the kings again, but they went on vacation today. We fished all morning for 11 fish, and we were lucky. The boats offshore had great tuna fishing again today. I wish you were here.
Commercial Kingfishing Outer Banks (11/28/2006)
[Outer Banks,NC] This time of year we commercial fish when we don't have a charter. We normally target king mackerel, and today we had fairly good fishing.
Rather Rugged (11/25/2006)
[Outer Banks,NC] I gave my group the option this morning, and they wanted to go, so away we went. It was as rough as I expected, but the fishing was good.
Get R Done (11/20/2006)
[Outer Banks,NC] We knew the wind was gonna breeze up on us at some point, so we left, hopefull that the fishing would be as good as yesterday. It was.
Hammer Time (11/19/2006)
[Outer Banks,NC] Today was nicer than yesterday, and the tuna fishing was off the hook. They were calling for north winds at 10-15 for today. Well, it wasn't quite that nice, but after yesterday, it was plenty good. We got bites right after we set the lines out this morning, and it was pretty steady till we got our limit of three per person (24), for the day.
