Meet Captain Paul Rudar
Meet Captain Paul Rudar and Buddy Buoys Charters
Captain Paul Rudar is the heart of Buddy Buoys Charters, bringing decades of fishing experience and a deep connection to the Beaufort, NC waters. Known for his calm, approachable demeanor and dedication to teaching, Captain Paul is more than just your guide—he’s a trusted resource for anglers of all skill levels. His goal isn’t just to put you on fish, but to help you understand the how and why behind every successful catch. That passion for teaching is what sets him apart and creates a laid-back yet skill-rich environment on board.
Fishing with Captain Paul is a hands-on, educational experience. He specializes in a wide range of local fishing styles—from nearshore and offshore trips to reef and wreck fishing. With hundreds of personally charted GPS coordinates, Paul knows where the fish are biting and when. His techniques vary based on conditions and target species, using everything from trolling and spinning to jigging and bottom fishing. Whether it’s light tackle on a summer morning or a deep-sea drop in fall, Paul brings the right strategy for the day.
What really stands out is his ability to tailor each trip to the group on board. Families new to fishing find him patient and encouraging, while experienced anglers appreciate his technical know-how and local insights. Each outing is designed to be informative, low-pressure, and rewarding—leaving guests with a few new techniques in their back pocket and, often, a personal best catch. It’s this balance of skill, humility, and passion that keeps anglers coming back season after season.
