I am a 65 year old Marine SSGT who is retired and lives in the mountains of Transylvania County, Brevard, NC.

I have fished hard over the past 50 years and caught a lot of fish. I’ve fished bridges, piers, jetties, shores, inlets, rivers, lakes, ponds, creeks, surf, streams, swamps, bayous, big lakes and ditches.

I worked on a charter boat as a first mate, commercial fishing on Bandit Boats, I fished water so shallow you could pick up fish and 700 feet deep where it took your 4lb weight about four minutes to hit the bottom. That’s deep! We were fishing for Tile fish and Grouper.

They call me Grandpa Carl. I invented Vibratease the fish caller in 1996 after 6 years of fishing for a living, charter boats and commercial. I’ve caught 100’s of King and Spanish Mackerel, Drum, Flounder, Sheep Head – Plus all the fresh water fish.

I have found that different fish would react so differently to the fish caller and it was all in the VIBRATION affecting the lateral line.

Semper Fidelis
