Serving anglers and hunters around Morehead City, New Bern, Swansboro and Oriental.
I am a Veteran owned and operated fishing and duck hunting guide. My business is Bent Rod Guide Service, based in Hubert, NC near Swansboro.
I have been a lifelong sportsman who has enjoyed fishing and hunting around the world. My roots are based in eastern NC, where as a young man I grew up fishing for bass, bluegill and catfish. I also hunted squirrels, rabbits and whitetail deer.
I have always desired to be involved in conservation and preserving our resources for future generations to enjoy. However, my life took a different path when I joined the Army to serve my country.
I joined the active Army in 1993 and traveled to Germany, Alaska, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Colorado, and three separate, year-long tours in Iraq. I was fortunate to hunt and fish in each of those places. Germany and Iraq were limited to fishing opportunities, but I enjoyed the great outdoors nonetheless. I have been fortunate to witness glorious sunrises and sunsets around the globe while creating memories on numerous adventures.
Since my retirement in 2016, I have purchased a boat fully outfitted with boater safety equipment, fishing equipment, duck decoys and a two-person layout boat. I am a fully credentialed USCG-approved Charter Captain, NC state licensed guide, insured and fully certified. I maintain a drug- and alcohol-free vessel with drug-testing enrollment.
I love spending time on the water and in the woods with my fellow outdoorsmen and women. Now that I am retired and able to dedicate myself to conservation, it is my true desire to give back and help preserve our valuable wildlife for future generations to enjoy.
Since October 2022, I have volunteered my boat and services to support Billy Burch Veterans Fishing Tournaments in Cedar Point, Military Appreciation Days in Morehead City, Disabled Outdoorsman USA in Oriental, and Take A Warrior Fishing in Morehead City on numerous occasions.
Please consider booking a trip with me to support a fellow veteran.
Good Times, Tight Lines & Bent Rods!
