ABOUT



Hope you've enjoyed checking out my page, The Tar Heel Outdoorsman.  I'm Robert Daniel.  Thanks for reading my stringing some words together and for following along!  This site is a creative outlet, a place where I can jot a few words down. I hope it'll be at least partially entertaining or informative, if you want to learn about some outdoor pursuits in our great state.  

I love anything that gets me outside---hiking, camping, sailing, fishing, hunting---but my two greatest outdoors passions are fly-fishing and duck hunting.  I am by no means an expert angler, nor am I an expert water-fowler, but I really get a kick out of writing about my time outdoors.  Out in the swamp or the woods or the salt marsh, or on the sound or the river.   

Growing up in both Wilson and Raleigh, NC, I'd consider myself a Southerner, a North Carolinian, but above all, an outdoorsman.  Ever since I can remember, I've been drawn to the beauty, the peacefulness, the refuge, and the unknown that is the outdoors.  I currently live in Edenton, NC, with my beautiful wife and our basset hound and black lab.  

I attended Sweetwater Guide School, and guided at Smith Fork Ranch and additionally at  A-Bar-A Ranch.  I earned my USCG Captain's license in 2017 and guided some light tackle and fly fishing trips in and around Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, and Figure Eight Island, as well as an occasional trout trip in the mountains.  I'm a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill, finishing up with a History major and minors in Creative Writing and Spanish in the Professions.  I'm also a graduate of UNC School of Law and currently work in local government and serve  part-time as a Judge Advocate in the U.S. Army Reserve.

Chunkin' Bait

 If you've ever stumbled across any of my words online, you've probably noticed that I'm more of a fly guy.  I just love that feeling of propelling fly line through the air with the rod, feeling the bend and strength of the rod as it loads and projects the line towards your casting target.  But, occasionally, there's a time to chunk some bait.  The good news was we didn't have to leave Edenton too early.  The bite hadn't started until 9:30 in the morning or so, my buddy said.  So, thankfully, no need to wake up at the crack of dawn to make the hour or so drive to Swan Quarter.   The goal was to catch a few drum, and maybe even invite a few to dinner.  It wasn't "old drum" time of late summer, but there were still some big ones out there.  We launched Johny's Jones Brothers Cape Fisherman, idled down the canal, and jumped on a plane to get over the bar and shoaling right outside the canal.  We ran out, not too far, fishing little cov...

A Little Do-It-Yourself Boat Painting

 "Hard hard can it be?"  After hours of YouTube videos, I thought I had this whole boat painting thing figured out.   My Jones Brothers skiff was looking a bit faded.  The 20+ year old cream/off-white gel coat was in need of some major cutting and buffing, and there were some cracks and gouges and an errant screw hole for a swim ladder only filled in with silicon sealant.  Just the conditioning and buffing would be a major undertaking.  On top of that my ablative bottom paint, that wears off on its own, that I'd done myself, was starting to look rough.   Then, I'd stumbled across a picture on Facebook, of someone who'd painted the same hull as mine with the Alexseal brand topside paint with their "roll" additive, which smooths out the paint after rolling it onto a surface.  I was mesmerized with the pictures online, drawn to doom scrolling online forums like Hull Truth, and others.  It looked too good to be true.  As anyone who...

Fall in the Foothills---River Bass on the Fly

It was fall in the foothills.  It was dry and clear and the sweet-cool of the morning refreshed you.  Cool, but not cold.  A good fall day.   I'd loaded up the canoe from the coast and headed west to the in-laws' place, on the banks of the Yadkin River, outside of Winston-Salem.   There's something about a smallmouth bass on a fly rod.  Maybe it's the strength of the fish, the strength of their pull against the current.  Or maybe it's because they're the fish that really taught me about fly fishing.  My original fly fishing quarry.  In all honesty, smallmouth caught me, not the other way around, back on the banks of Rapidan River in Virginia.  I've been hooked ever since.   I met a man once, while trout fishing in the mountains, who claimed the Yadkin held the best smallie fishing in North Carolina.  Better than the New River, even the French Broad.  Maybe not in numbers, but in size.  I'll be honest, I...
