Meet Captain Cameron Pappas

About Capt. Cam

Hi Folks! Thank you for visiting my Fishing Charter business. I was born and raised on the coast of Wilmington, NC and have always enjoyed being on the water as much as possible. Having the ocean and the marsh so close by throughout my life has made for A LOT of time spent outdoors. Fishing has always been a part of my life from a very young age but mainly revolved around offshore fishing and the occasional trip out West for trout. When I stumbled upon inshore and nearshore fishing I realized what I was missing out on and became fully invested. What I love about these areas of fishing is that they are challenging but also extremely rewarding. There is a science to it that has always kept me eager to continue to learn as much as possible. There are many variables when it comes to fishing such as the season, being able to predict where the fish will be on a given tide, water temperature, weather, etc. All of these are parts of an equation that keeps me coming back for more.

I started guiding when I realized that the four things I thoroughly enjoy doing and am passionate about (teaching, being outside, photography and fishing) could be my career with guiding. Although I don’t pick up a rod as much as I used to, I find just as much joy, if not more joy, watching a client catch a fish than if I had caught it myself. It is a job that brings me a great deal of fulfillment and happiness that I hope to share with my anglers.
