Alex Tarwater, Lead Angler

Teacher, Fisherman, Outdoor Lover, Nature Appreciator

Alex has been hooked on fishing for as long as he can remember. Whether it was “bream popping” from a canoe with his dad paddling behind or casting lines into quiet ponds with his grandparents, some of his best childhood memories were made with a fishing pole in hand.

“Fishing and camping weren’t just fun—they taught me life lessons and shaped who I am,” Alex shares.

Also a middle school social studies teacher with over a decade of experience, Alex brings that same passion for teaching into every cast and catch at camp. For him, fishing isn’t just about catching fish—it’s about building confidence, patience, respect for nature, and friendships that last beyond the shoreline.

Being a fishing instructor is truly a dream come true,” he says. “My goal this week? To help your child make memories they’ll never forget and to send them home loving fishing as much as I do!”

Dylan Phillips, Lead Angler

Fisherman, Traveler, Reptile Lover

Hey there! My name is Dylan Phillips, and I’ve been fishing the Carolinas since I could walk — literally! I grew up in a small rural town in South Carolina, where my Grandpa first introduced me to fishing on rivers, lakes, and farm ponds. That early passion stuck with me, and after high school, I made the move to the coast and dove headfirst into the world of saltwater fishing.

Over the past six years, I’ve spent my time running deep sea fishing charters and commercial fishing offshore, often staying out for weeks at a time during the winter season. From bass and bream to marlin and swordfish — if it swims, I’ve probably caught it.

Now, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with others — whether it’s helping a beginner catch their first fish or passing on tips to the next generation of anglers.

A few fun facts about me: I love to travel, spend my winters hunting, and never say no to a good seafood boil. I’m also a huge reptile enthusiast and have a few pet snakes at home!

Looking forward to fishing with you or your little one soon!
