Captain Tripp is a true pro
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 18, 20264 adults

The weather was brutal all week so we knew what we were getting into. But despite this, Captain Tripp worked his tail off to put us on the fish. His effort and attitude was tremendous. Clearly communicated everything we were doing and way. The guy really knows the Ocean Isle waterways. He really went out of his way to set up different rigs in a lot of different places. Once it was clear they werent biting in a spot, we were on the move. We hunted the reds and caught several really nice specks and black drum. His efforts really saved the outing in what was certainly a gloomy situation weather wise. I can’t say every captain would have done the same. Ocean Isle is a great location and we’ll definitely go back out with Captian Tripp in better conditions.

Reported catch:
Black Drum
Speckled Trout

Captain Tripp Hooks is back and as strong as ever!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 20, 20264 adults

We had anxiously awaited Tripp's return to the water and he did not disappoint. As in the past his pursuit of fish was relentless. While we started off a bit slow we ultimately landed several red fish and had a wonderful overall experience. We'll be back for more charters with Tripp!

Half Day Extended (AM) on August 11, 20252 adults2 children

Captain Tripp was a fantastic guide who knows his waters and put us on fish. We cast netted for live bait that took mere minutes and caught shrimp, mullet and shad (?) and were hooking up in the first 30 minutes. We hit our limit of trout with a mix of other catches that were fun to land on the boat. We caught a monster too and it was great for a photo op before releasing. Our second day we targeted reds and my twin boys caught their first slot reds, giving them the bug. All in all a great experience, so we’ll be back.
