Outdoor Action Pro-Team

Teddy started guiding in 1993 but has been an outdoorsman all his life.  As a youngster Teddy was introduced to hunting and fishing by his family.  His grandfather Wilson Carr made him his constant hunting companion and his dad and uncles could not get out of the driveway to go fishing without him begging to tag along.  The art of his trade is not one learned from a book or class but is a birthright a talent that comes as easy to him as putting ones shoes on.  Teddy attended Orange County High School where he was a talented athlete that excelled on the football field.  He is quick to point out the one thing that motivates him most is competition being the best at what he does.  This trait enabled him to become a tenacious and successful Bass Tournament fisherman during the 80's and 90's.  Teddy's clients inherit this same will and determination when they spend the day fishing with him he is relentless in his efforts to produce for them.  His professional manner mixed with his down home attitude make him a joy to spend the day with.  In addition to being a professional fisherman he is a published Author, his book "Fishing Lake Anna with Teddy Carr" is a huge success. All this success is the second most important thing in Teddy's life, the most important is his wife and three kids.  Teddy married his high school sweetheart Donna and they have three kids Jon, Justin and Taylor.  Jon and Justin attend Orange County High just as their parents did.  Where they are outstanding student athletes.  Donna and Taylor being the women of the house and the bosses keep the boys straight.  Teddy and Donna both grew up in Locust Grove and still reside there today.

Captain Eric Peterson

 Eric has two passions in life besides his beautiful wife Karen and their kids Jordin, Dylan, and Morgan and that's waterfowl hunting and bass fishing.  Eric started hunting at the age of 10 when his father and uncle took him on his first quail hunt in western Kentucky.  Watching his uncle's German Short Hair and English Pointers work the fields left a lasting impression on him that would never leave.  Though Eric started off upland hunting, he soon learned that his real passion in wing shooting was waterfowl.  Eric has hunted all 4 flyways in the United States but his roots are in the Chesapeake Bay region.   Part of the experience in waterfowl hunting is watching a retriever do what they were bred for, retrieve game. Eric has a Black Lab named Andy that does the work for you so you don't have to get your feet wet and allows you to experience the waterfowling tradition as it was meant to be.  "I swear he knows every duck on the fly-way on a first name basis" quote, Teddy Carr.  When the hunting season is over, Eric gets his Bass Cat out on the waters of the Tidal Potomac to chase it's most prized fish the largemouth bass.  Growing up near the river has afforded him the time to learn the waters. Eric is intense an individual as you will ever meet when it comes to deriving success for his clients.  No detail goes undisclosed as he works for his clients.  Whether it's a guided fishing trip or hunting trip Eric cares deeply for his client's well being and success.    

Hobbies: Eric's favorite hobby is carving and collecting Chesapeake Bay decoys.  Many of the decoys in his collection were carved by the masters of the upper bay and gunned over in the early to mid 1900's on the same waters we guide on.

Boat: Eric runs a Bass Cat bass boat powered by a Mercury 225 Optimax as well as a Sea-Ark Duck Boat.

Scott "Gunny" Favors

Scott began fishing in the lakes and rivers of his native Indiana at age 5, and from then on he was tagging along with his father on outings or just setting on the dock at the family’s weekend retreat.  He became a United States Marine after graduation from high school, and after over 22 years Scott retired from the Marine Corps as a Gunnery Sergeant, and now he has settled in Virginia with his wife, son Kelley and daughter Jordan.  Scott's experience through his years of service has allowed him to fish many diverse bodies of water.  Whether finesse fishing in the deep clear lakes of southern California, or the massive grass flats of the TVA chain in Alabama Scott has been able to adapt his style to meet his needs.   Scott now enjoys the scenery of all that Virginia has to offer, from the Potomac River, Lake Anna, Buggs Island and some of the smaller fisheries as well.   Scott loves the outdoors and enjoys teaching and spending time with fellow outdoorsmen.  So don’t expect to find a tired out worn out Marine Gunny, even though his friends still refer to him as “Gunny”, he’ll be ready with a quick one liner or short story that will keep you entertained.
