If you love the idea of spending your day on the water, catching fish, then Capt'n Hook Outdoors Fishing Charters have an ideal offer for you. They run fishing trips around Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and other nearby areas in North Carolina.

Capt. Tripp Hooks invites you to join him on his 23' Famous Craft boat. This bay boat is the ultimate backwater boat. She has a second station tower to allow for more space for the anglers while getting to the fishing hole. She also features a PowerPole anchor that allows you to anchor in shallow water very quickly. The boat is powered by a 300 HP Mercury engine which can get you to your fishing spot super fast.

Once you board in Ocean Isle Beach, you will ride around 20 minutes to reach your fishing spot. Your main targets will be Sheepshead, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, or Weakfish. You'll mainly use light tackle with live bait, which will be prepared in advance.

Besides your fishing equipment, Capt. Tripp also covers your fishing license and he will clean your catch after the trip. You need to bring your snacks, drinks, and sunscreen.

Capt'n Hook Outdoors Fishing Charters provide a convenient and relaxing service that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Whether you're eager to spend a fun time in a boat on the weekends or during the week, you can rely on their services at any time, year round.

4hr AM Inshore
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 12, 20252 adults
Booked a AM Inshore for buddy and I with Capt. Tripp. Showed up, got right on the boat and off we went. Tried a couple of spots before he said. “Y’all good to try nearshore fishing?” We both said yes and boy was it the right thing to do. We caught 2 massive Redfish, a Cobia, a few flounder, toadfish, a bluefish, and a bunch of Black Sea Bass. Unfortunately the only that was legal to keep was the Sea Bass and bluefish. Redfish were too big and Cobia was just a bit too small. All an all it was a great trip and very thankful he asked if we wanted to change up the planned inshore trip to a nearshore trip. Will definitely be back to fish with Capt Tripp again!

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.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 16, 20252 adults
We thoroughly enjoyed inshore fishing with Tripp. He grew up around here and knows these waters well. Even after rainy days and cloudy water he was able to set us up to catch a nice variety that included black drum, trout, and flounder. He was also willing to answer questions and share techniques. Great guide, highly recommend!

3 Hour Trip – Evening Fishing on June 26, 20252 adults2 children
Tripp was great, especially with my grandchildren. He was hard at work for us the entire trip and kept the kids baited up and fishing. Nice boat and fishing equipment. The fish were a little uncooperative on our afternoon, but we still caught a few. He knows what he’s doing. I recommend him to anyone.
