ABOUT THE CAPTAIN:
CAPTAIN BUTCH has fished the ocean waters off North Carolina since he was 10 years old. When he came to fish the SOUTHPORT area, he realized this area has nearly any kind of saltwater fishing with-in reach. Anything from the CAPE FEAR RIVER to the GULF STREAM is available here. He has become well known in the area as one of the top offshore and nearshore captains. His fishing ability has placed his fishing team in the top ten in the FALL BRAWL KING MACKERAL TOURNAMENT, and in the U S OPEN KING MACKERAL TOURNAMENT he has placed eleventh!! He is a regular seminar speaker and instructor for BOATERS WORLD. He does many fishing seminars at various shows and expos through out the year. He is also a teacher/instructor for the "FISHERMAN'S POST magazine fishing school, he also does weekly fishing reports for this paper as well. His fishing reputation has caught the attention of some top sporting magazines in which he has done articles. Capt. Butch has also been asked by George Poveromo of SALTWATER SPORTSMAN MAGAZINE to join their SALTWATER SEMINAR SERIES as an instructor. His fishing charter and fishing techniques is featured in the book "OFFSHORE ANGLER". He does weekly fishing reports for the NEWS&OBSERVER newspaper with a reader index that numbers into 7 digits!! Captain Butch's fishing knowledge and seminar profile has made him to be sought by many Saltwater fishing clubs to come and speak at their meetings in which he does on a regular basis!! This past spring he was asked to go to the gulfstream and shoot a video, which turned out very well with yellowfin tuna and wahoo caught and with mahi-mahi and billfish hooked up! And, he is doing another video for AMERICAS OUTDOORSMAN.Captain Butch's reputation for honest and fair business practices and his willingness to "go the extra mile on your trip if needed to get you fish" along with a true love for the charter business and his fishermen and fisherwomen, ("which he refers to as his friends") has prompted several company's to approach him to endorse and use their products. Captain Butch has several company's products that he uses and endorses, (with more being added) but, will not allow any monetary gain to be involved, therefore, he only uses and endorses products that he likes and believes in and only those that will help him and you catch more fish, and with no money involved, no one is obligated!! Even with all this, Captain Butch Loves what he does and loves the people that work with him and all the great folks that fish with him, as he says so often, You know, without everyone, what I do would be useless!!!
You know, it really is easy to take it for granted that everyone knows how it is offshore, I guess that happens when you are there all the time. You should experience the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that only occur on the ocean. Ride with bottle nosed dolphin, lots of times they play and jump right along with the boat. Experience the green and blue waters only found offshore and the gulfstream water is a cobalt blue you will only find out there. Hook up with a yellowfin tuna in the stream and look down at him in the water only to realize he is still fifty feet deep, yeah, it's that clear out there!! Experience the flying fish, yes there are fish out there that jump out of the water and glide long distances in the air, sometimes you will jump large schools and they will fly everywhere! 32 miles offshore is a tower, FRYING PAN TOWER, that is schelued to be torn down, but as for now it is still there. A picture turned into a framed 8x10 would be a great conversation piece before long. If you have never experienced the tranquil beast called the Atlantic Ocean, it is a shame, for there are not enough words in the english language to describe this liquid paradise. Don't let life pass you by without giving it a try, it is truly the last frontier that can not be tamed or changed from its natural beauty!
Oh yeah, did I mention the fact that we also catch many types and many sizes of fish out there. You haven't experienced a rush like you will when a blue marlin, wahoo, sail fish, bull dolphin, tuna or one of many other species crashes your bait offshore. You will never hear a fishing reel clicker scream anywhere like it does offshore!!! Line peels off a reel faster than you can imagine. This is no place for bass tackle, we use 80 pound class stand up tackle, and sometimes that is not enough!! You strap on a fighting harness and for a while there is nothing else in the world happening but you and that fish, he is determined you are not going to land him and you are determined you will!! To see who comes out victorious, you have to be there!! Having said this, my main concern is for your safety and enjoyment!! Our boat is equipped with the finest safety items that you can purchase!!! I am never satisfied even with a great charter trip I want you to have had more.
You will get a special treat on most of our charters, you will get to meet BODIE, a party Pomeranian that has fished on the YEAH RIGHT now for over 5 years. He loves to fish and he loves people. CAPTAIN BUTCH is a down home, GOD fearing captain that hasn't forgotten where he came from. By the way, he also loves to cook. Be sure to check out some of his recipes on the web page. Also, if you are going fishing today, be sure to "THANK A VET" because without their unselfish dedication to this country and their ultimate sacrifices, you wouldn't be going anywhere!!! Also, I will pray that "GOD BLESSES YOU AS HE HAS ME AND MY FAMILY" FISH ON!!! Capt Butch & "Private Bodie" the fish dog
