Welcome to the home of Native Guide Service! Featuring Captain Bryan Goodwin, born and raised on the shore's of Taylor's Creek in Beaufort, North Carolina. Capt. Bryan has fished the waters of the Southern Outerbanks around Beaufort, Cape Lookout and Core Banks for over 25 years. He is an 8th Generation waterman, specializing in Light Tackle and Fly-Fishing for Speckle Trout, Red Drum, Flounder, Black Sea Bass, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Albacore, as well as Sharks and "Old" Drum! Capt. Bryan is also one of the few guides who specializes in Flounder Gigging. He has been gigging Flounder all his life and is as close to an expert as you will ever find. "We are blessed with a fishery here that is second to none and recognized throughout the country as one of the best!" Come enjoy it with us the way it was meant to be!

You may have seen him on TV! He is the host of over a dozen "how to" Fishing Videos and is currently producing a new television and web-base series called "DownEast Outdoors".

You can find links to our videos on the Pictures & Videos page of this site.

Capt. Bryan loves to fish and most days you'll find him on the water either guiding, shooting new fishing videos or simply scouting out "hot" fishing locations. Capt. Bryan is a full-time guide and spends as many as 250 days a year on the water!

If you are not into fishing, we offer several other on-the- water activities. We offer guided trips for kayaking, snorkeling, shrimping, clamming and crabbing and we know the most secluded and productive areas for seashell collecting. We can help you find that perfect campsite at Cape Lookout or Shackleford Banks. If a tour is what you're after we offer Sightseeing, History, and Eco Tours. You are sure to see dolphin, wild island ponies, migratory shorebirds and historic sites. Feel free to combine these activities into one or multiple trips. We have all the equipment necessary for these activities and will be happy to work with you on package deals.

We can also make arrangements for a Houseboat rental if you are so inclined.
