Captain Andy Piland
Captain Andy started his fishing career around 1977, skipping school to harvest Striped Bass and White perch in the Roanoke and Chowan rivers. After mastering these fisheries, he graduated to offshore fishing, starting as mate on several of the local charter boats including the Good Times, learning the ropes of offshore fishing. Fishing the Gulf Stream waters off picturesque Hatteras Island for almost 20 years, Captain Andy has logged well over 2500 fishing trips. The merging of two great ocean currents provide anglers with an optimum fishing environment. Captain Andy's ability to create memorable fishing adventures will keep anglers returning, year after year to repeat their adventure.
The Good Times is a 47 ft. custom-made Carolina boat owned and operated by Captain Andy Piland. Built on Roanoke Island by Sheldon Midgett and powered by a 700 HP Lugger, she can cruise at over 20 knots and is equipped with up-to-date electronics and all required USCG safety equipment. She has a large cockpit equipped with a custom fighting chair and two companion chairs. The air conditioned salon is spacious with ample seating and storage for the anglers.
