Kelsey grew up spending the summers on the coast of North Carolina. It was there she learned everything from fishing, cast netting, clamming, crabbing, and more. She learned at young age fishing was a way for her to immerse herself into the outdoors and natural world. Her passion for fisheries led her to peruse a bachelors degree in biology and a Masters in Fisheries Conservation and Management. Kelsey founded The Beardless Fisher Inshore Charters because of her passion for fishing, the outdoors, and passing that love on to others. She looks forward to teaching guests about sustainable fishing and how to be a good environmental steward, all while you obtain the skills to catch the fish and shrimp you desire.
