Fishing has always and continues to be an integral part of Captain Mike’s life.  He comes from a long line of Norwegian fisherman, so it’s no surprise that he had a fishing pole in his hand before a baseball bat!

He holds a U.S. Coastguard Masters License and is certified
in First Aid and CPR.

According to Captain Mike, the best part of being a Captain is using his 30+ years fishing experience to put clients on fish, regardless of age and skill level.  This means sharing his knowledge of his home waters around Wilmington as well as techniques and tips he learned fishing the waters from Montauk to Miami to Maui.

Captain Mike is devoted to all things fishing. In addition to being a full-time fishing guide he fishes in professional, local, and charity tournaments; supports local, state and national conservation; researches and tests out new fishing techniques; and builds custom high-tech cutting edge fishing rods.

His custom rods, including Thor Thunder Jig Sticks and Loki Lightning Redfish Rods, can be found at www.rileyrods.com.  

He also contributes a fishing report to the Fisherman’s Post, one of Carolina’s premiere saltwater newspapers.
