THE CAPTAIN
Captain Gray Blount, owner of the Desperado, grew up in Eastern NC. He got his start fishing with his father and brother on their family boat, Barbara B.
Captain Gray has been either mating or running a boat since the late 80s – and is a graduate of East Carolina University. He has fished both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans for the world’s most elusive fish. His favorite fish is the White Marlin, but Captain Gray loves fishing for all Billfish! And, when the Tuna are biting, he loves that too!
Captain Gray invites you to book an exciting off-shore fishing adventure with him this season on the Desperado.
