ABOUT CAPTAIN 'SLICK'
Join USCG Licensed Captain Mike “Slick” Dupree as he hunts and fishes on the east coast of NC, all while letting the cameras roll. Self taught, self filmed and self produced by Slick himself. From chasing wood ducks, turkeys and freshwater fish in the piedmont to redheads, fishing tournaments inshore, and pelagic fish at the coast, he does it all. Or at least he tries! Lately, Slick has honed in on slow trolling for his favorite Wahoo. Slick runs the "X-Rayted Fishing Team" and fishes out of Cape Pointe Marina located in Harkers Island, NC. He is the Captain of Lone Wolf Sportfishing located in Town Creek Marina, in Beaufort, NC. Slick's goal is to put you on the fish! 100 percent honest and as transparent as possible, Slick will show you his “How I” not the “How To”, because we all know that in the outdoors, there is no specifically right or wrong way to do it. Slick is one of the few known charter captains that captures your adventure on camera. With your permission, Slick may just publish your fishing adventure on his YouTube channel. Slick runs out of Cape Pointe Marina and Harkers Island Fishing Center which are both located on Harkers Island, NC.
Captain Mike is fully licensed through the United States Coast Guard and insured for your fishing adventure.
Slick’s motto: “Ya better do it today because tomorrow might not show up.”
