Captain of the Week: Captain Pete Rae

 

Captain of the Week:  Capt. Pete Rae

Captain Pete Rae is from Morehead City, North carolina. He has been fishing all his life, but became employed as a mate on a head boat at the young age of 16. During the winter months he would commercial fish for King Mackeral and trap for Black Sea Bass. At the age of 23 Pete became the Captain of the charter boat "Tight Lines'. In 2004, Pete took a break from fishing and was a tug boat captain. It didnt take him long to realize what his true passion was and not long to get back to it. In 2005 he took a private captain's job on the "Desperado". The same year he won the Ocean City White Marlin open, still holding the largest purse ever won in the U.S. He also has Governor cup and SKA King Mackerel Tournament Wins. For the past few years, Pete has been the Captain of the "Sea Spud", a beautiful 60 Ft. B&D owned by Pat McCotter. When Pat and Pete aren't loading the fish boxes deep dropping or raising bills somewhere, the "Spud" is available for charters.
Anyone who has ever fished with Pete has left the docks with a greater education of the fish they were after that day and even greater memories to take home until the next time. He is notorious for loud music off the bridge and calling mandatories when the fishing gets slow. He is a consummate professional who makes sure everyone on board is involved and having a wonderful time.
Pete and the Sea Spud are now fishing in Isla Mujeres Mexico for the winter. He is available for charters there, and will be available again once returning back to atlantic beach north carolina, along with fishing the East coast tournaments. He also has a back country charter business that is thriving.
So, if your interested in catching sails, marlins, dolphins, sharks, tunas, pompanos, wahoos, flounders, or anthing else out there, while having a memorable time doing it, contact Captain Pete Rae.
