Capt Harvey is a member of the Pro Staff for Bass Pro Shops and formerly fished as a pro in the Bassmaster and FLW fishing tours. He is now living the dream, operating Salty Dawg Fishing Charters in the coastal North Carolina town of Ocean Isle Beach. With many years of experience as a recreational fisherman, tournament fisherman, and as a fishing guide, Captain Harvey can provide an enjoyable and memorable day on the water for novice anglers or experienced anglers. Captain Harvey also welcomes kids and enjoys helping them connect with, and learn more about, fishing and the outdoors through his 2 hour kids fishing charters.
Captain Harvey fishes the areas of Southport, Oak Island, Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, Calabash, down to Little River SC. It sounds like a big area, but it's just a 45 minute boat ride along these barrier islands in Brunswick County NC. Ocean Isle Beach (or OIB as everyone calls us) is situated on the NC and SC state line, which is just a few minutes north of Myrtle Beach SC and just a few minutes south of Wilmington NC. So, consider fishing with Captain Harvey on your vacation to Myrtle Beach or coastal NC!
Captain Harvey's inshore fishing charters offer opportunities to catch trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, black drum, and many other species. His near shore trolling trips target Spanish Mackerel and King Mackerel, while his near shore bottom fishing trips mostly target Sea Bass and several species of Grouper. His shark fishing charters, which are very safe and are a lot of fun, target various species of sharks from 10 to 60+ pounds.
Captain Harvey is a U.S. Army veteran, having served as a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. He later graduated from the U.S. Maritime Academy, where he earned his Master's License from the US Coast Guard. He is also certified in first aid and CPR, and prides himself on being a professional mariner that offers you the safest trip possible.
