Captain Gary Dubiel
A little on the Captain's career-Captain Gary Dubiel has speaking to audiences about fishing for 20 years. Originally appearing in fly fishing clubs and as a featured fly tier. His talks now cover a vast area of inshore and nearshore fly fishing and light tackle angling, international and domestic fishing travel, conventional rod design and selection, innovative fishing strategies, lure and fly selection, fishing his Pop N Fly and European nymphing. Gary pioneered the popping cork craze for NC giant red drum, turning what was a night time bait fishery into a day time artificial lure fishery. Progressing that one step further, Gary invented the Pop-N-Fly rig and revolutionized fly fishing for these giant reds. Capt. Gary has written and lectured on both light tackle and fly fishing and he has appeared on a number of angling shows on ESPN 2, WFN, UNC-TV, NBC Sports, the Sportsman Channel and Discovery Channel (Europe). He is a frequent speaker at local and national fishing shows including the Saltwater Sportsman's National Seminar Series, the Fly Fishing Show and the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival. He has also been featured in many major sports fishing magazines and in several books. He has written a book about his Pop N Fly technique.

"I had to say thank you again for yesterday, I don't know if I will ever have a day better than that. (Can't wait to get out and try to better it though!!)
I also wanted to say thank you for what you have taught me on the water this spring. I have learned a lot, and I know it has made me a better fisherman. I'm nowhere close to being a pro yet, but I am picking up techniques and baits that I am becoming more and more confident in. In addition, I'm learning a lot about reading the water and the conditions to help maximize any opportunities I get. Gary, you are a very good teacher, and I am looking forward to next time to learn that much more.
You have quickly become a trusted friend, and I think I appreciate that more than anything.
See you next time out!!! "
"Gary and his family are some of the greatest people. He got us on all different kinds of fish and we experienced tight lines and laughs for hours! We hope to get out with him again soon! "
"Thanks very much for helping me get three generations of Greene men together for a fun time on Friday. It was more than just a fun time fishing Specs; it was a chance for me to spend quality time with my Dad and my son. I want my son to be interested in fishing and conservation, and I don't think I could have asked for a better time. My Dad gave me that gift, and you helped me give it to my son. We look forward to next time.”
"My wife and I have fished with Gary a few times. No matter the time of year, Gary always finds fish. He is incredibly knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge -he has made me a better fisherman. "
This was not my wife and I's first guided fishing charter, but it was by far the best. Gary is a true professional. The fishing was incredible, and the whole trip was extremely informative. Gary knows speckled trout fishing like no one else in the area. If you are a beginning fisherman, I'm sure you will enjoy the trip, but if you are a more experienced fisherman like my wife and I, you will enjoy it and vastly increase your knowledge of trout fishing. We literally caught over a hundred fish in five hours. That is not by chance. If you're looking for an inshore charter, go with Gary. He will definitely do his best to put you on the fish.
Captain Gary spends lots of time teaching on his trips, so if you want to become a better angler give him a shout and book you day today!
