Coach Dale "Diesel" Collins and Bobby "The Bearded Wonder" Bennett visit with special guest Captain Richard Andrew owner of Tar-Pam Guide Service.

Captain Richard Andrews is the owner of Tar-Pam Guide Service and has been involved in North Carolina’s charter fishing industry since 2001. Born and raised on the Tar River in Tarboro, North Carolina, he began fishing the rivers, estuaries, and gulf stream waters of Eastern North Carolina at an early age.  The day after graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill, he moved  to Hatteras Village to fulfill a lifelong dream of working as a mate on an offshore charter boat.  Capt. Richard fished full-time for five seasons with some of the best captains in the business out of Hatteras and Oregon Inlet, commercial bluefin tuna fished in the winter, and traveled by boat to Mexico, the Bahamas, and South Florida to chase various billfish species,  A highlight of his fishing career was a 2nd Place finish in the Pirates Cove Billfish Tournament with a crew of anglers consisting of 4 boys between the ages of 7 and 13.  During these years, he was able to refine his fishing skills, develop an understanding of seasonal fish patterns within North Carolina, and cultivate the patience and experience necessary for a professional charter business.

Capt. Richard also has a masters degree in Natural Resources from N.C. State University where his graduate research focused on stream and wetland ecology.  Soon learning  that a “real job” just isn’t for him, he decided to pursue his passion of guiding inshore fishing enthusiasts to new experiences in the remote fishery of the Inner Banks region of North Carolina.   His goal is to create for you the absolute best fishing experience possible and provide a professional and consistently high level of service for his guests.  He now resides in Bath with his wife, Austin, and two sons, Tripp and Henry.

Coach Dale "Diesel" Collins, Bobby "The Bearded Wonder" Bennett, and Shannon "Big Mess" Messer start off 2022 on a good note.  A few new whiskeys mixed in with the state of the fly fishing industry makes for a pretty good start for 2022.  

We sip some Memphis Hot Toddy and a Maryland Rye in this episode.  We were pleasantly surprised by the rye and the Memphis Hot Toddy is dangerous.  Bobby says, "It's like eating Red Hots candy".  I was told it was Christmas in a bottle and I would have to agree.  Definitely check both of these out.
