Not only does he run a successful charter operation out of Oregon Inlet he also is the guy you call when something isn't right with your boat.  Dave has spent years in the cockpit, at the helm, and in the boat yard rebuilding motors and other hard to do expensive stuff.

Misguided Saltwater Fishing Podcast brings Capt Charles Perry to the studio for ep 3.12. A podcast by nature is about talking the talk. CP walks the walk and has the book and DVD to prove it. To say we felt like we were in over our heads talking to him is an understatement. I don't believe there is anything we have done that he hasn't done more times and definitely better. By far one of our favorite episodes we have produced. - Charle's New Book Big Fish Better...

Capt Joey Belton joins Jack and I this week on Misguided Fishing Podcsast. Once again, two offshore guys discuss what it takes to be an offshore hero fisherman. I occasionally get to chime in. I've know Joey for a long time and it has been a pleasure to watch him go from a first time in the cockpit mate to running one of the "heavy hitter" boats that fish in the Oregon Inlet Fleet. The guy is full of knowledge and readily admits he learns everyday on the water.

Jack and Donnie talk about casting to non eating fish, doing a commercial, and Jack starts to go in depth about blue fishing and techniques.  Its actually pretty informative. The give away question this week is "what is capt jack's favorite blue fin bait to troll."
