Captain Desmond Starling
Captain Desmond and youth angler with a nice Red drum caught on a reef fishing charter
I have been fishing since I was able to walk and have been fishing professionally full time for 10 years. I obtained my Captains license at 22 and began my dream of running my own charter service. I genuinely enjoy charter fishing and being on the waters of Carolina Beach. A Fishing charter isn't always just about catching fish. I believe a fishing charter should be a chance to experience all of the wonderful things our coast has to offer from beautiful sunrises to magnificent marine life encounters. I try to be as informational as possible with explaining fishing techniques so that clients can understand and improve their own fishing skills. I have 3 younger siblings so I have learned how to work with younger anglers very well and enjoy teaching kids and beginners of all ages the art of fishing. My favorite trip is the 4 hour Reef fishing. It is a great trip for kids because the fish are always biting almost instantly. Most younger anglers have a short attention span and keeping them busy is a good way for them to enjoy fishing. This trip is also good because of the abundance of different species in our waters. You never know what you may catch reef fishing (such as this nice Red Drum pictured left)! The Reef is an ecosystem within itself so you may also get to see other marine life including stingrays, turtles, jellyfish, sharks, dolphins, octopus, crabs, sand dollars, and countless colorful reef fish species. Its a great all around trip. No matter which trip you book I can guarantee you will make memories that last a lifetime. I always take the time to talk with clients about their skill level and goals for a trip so I can ensure that you have a trip designed specifically to you and your crew. We have over 80 reviews that speak for themself. I often participate in local community events and donate fishing trips.
