Captain Mike
I love fishing and sharing my knowledge of the sport with others. I welcome friends, families, and children onto the Corona Daze with the intention of making sure everyone has fun and catches fish. It would be my pleasure to be your Captain, and guide, the next time you go fishing.
Captain Mike Hoffman is a native of coastal southeastern NC who has been fishing since he was 5-years-old. He has been a full-time fisherman since 1987. He fished the Pro Bass Tour for 11 years, and during this time he won numerous awards. He got his captain’s license in 1998 and his Master Captain’s license in 2008.
