Caption Gary Dubiel

About
Over 16 years Guiding Experience and an Expert with Both Fly and Light Tackle Fishing

Capt. Gary's passion for fishing brought him to North Carolina in the late 1980's. Starting "Spec Fever" because of his love of speckled seatrout fishing.  Moving from the Outer Banks to the Neuse River, Gary adding redfish, stripers, false albacore and so many other species to the Spec Fever hit list. 

Always looking to improve his techniques, 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. 

Join him for a fishing trips that are both enjoyable and educational days on the water!

Captain Fish Whisperer
I have been fishing with Captain Dubeil 5 times over theyears and it has been a great experience every time. The weather has variedfrom highly humid during the summer, brisk winds, and thunderstorms, to bonecold. Every time, we caught lots of fish! I appreciate Gary’s professional, hisresearch of the ecosystems, movements, and feeling preferences of the PamlicoSound and Neuse River fishery. He has ... more innovated, and shared freely techniquesand locations with fellow guides and anglers to improve anyone's fishingenjoyment. He maximizes the experience by fishing less traveled locations. Heis an expert teacher with lots of patience so amateurs like me have the bestopportunities to get the fish into the boat. Best guide for fishery knowledge,fishing techniques and fishing productivity. Most importantly, it's a pleasureto be in his boat!
