I first started fishing with my father and grandparents at the age of three. I can remember my grandmother, Attwood Cameron, taking me fishing from dawn to dusk on the piers at Atlantic Beach. She loved to catch flounder. I always told her if I could get out in that ocean, I could really catch some big fish. My father and grandfather spent many hours teaching me how to catch bass and speckled robi
n in Broad Creek on the lower Neuse River. My first trip to Hatteras was in 1970 in a 19' Thunderbird boat and quickly I realized there were some big fish out there and I needed bigger tackle. Over the next few years, I purchased a 23" SeaCraft and took it to Hatteras fishing just about every weekend. Finally, with my wife's blessings, I moved to Hatteras in 1986 and started fishing for a living. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife, Elaine, and two great boys, Rom IV and Cameron. Fishing has really been good for me. I owe my success to all my loyal and supportive customers from all over the US. After 21 years of fishing as a vocation, I am often asked, "Don't you get tired of fishing?" Fishing is what makes my job so much fun. I can truly say that every morning when I get up to go, I am excited and ready to go to work. Fishing is truly unique at Hatteras because you never know what your next big bite is going to be.
