My name is Chuck Murray and I want to be your guide for an enjoyable fishing trip or help you prepare for tournament competition. The Lord has blessed me with much success in the tournament fishing industry, especially bass fishing events. In 2008, I was the North Carolina State Champion of the NCBFN (BASS Affiliated) and the NCBF (FLW Affiliated). To my knowledge, no other individual has accomplished that feat. In 2009, I competed at the National Championship for both organizations. Three ounces short prevented me from competing in the FLW Forrest Woods Cup and two pounds and 5 ounces prevented me from participating in the biggest bass fishing event of all: THE BASSMASTER CLASSIC! I guide for bass on Kerr Lake, Falls Lake, Lake Gaston, Jordan Lake, Roanoke Rapids Lake and the Eastern Rivers such as Roanoke and the Chowan. I guide for stripers (rock fish), crappie, white perch and catfish on Kerr Lake, Gaston Lake and Falls Lake. I also guide for Stripers and Flounder from June through September in the Belhaven area in eastern NC. Please take time to see some of my pics and the fun times I have had over the years as well as my clients. I will do my best to make your experience with me on the water be a memorable one.
