Earning Stripes Sportfishing
Earning Stripes Sportfishing
Want to book a trip that offers variety for anglers of every skill level? Then look no further, and book a trip with Earning Stripes Sportfishing today. Captain Greg grew up surrounded by fishing and knew that he had to follow his passion and make fishing his full-time job. He will do everything he can to make sure you have a productive day out on the water, whether this is your first time fishing or your hundredth.
The day will be spent on a 45' Hatteras sportfishing boat. There is plenty of space to fish, so your group of 6 can be comfortable on the ride out and avoid crossing lines. The boat is decked out with full safety and navigational equipment so you can fish with peace of mind.
The fish will vary depending on where you choose to cast your line. Close to shore and in the bays, you can expect to reel in the likes of Red Drum (Redfish), Cobia, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Rockfish, Black Seabass, and plenty more. The captain will let you know which fish can be kept and will fillet these for you after the trip.
Children over 4 are welcome on board. They'll love the calmer waters of the bay and the great action found there. Live vests are on board for them.
If you're traveling by yourself but want to get out on the water, just join a shared trip. Families and groups of friends can book a private trip to have the boat to themselves.
Included in the price of the trip are top-quality rods and reels. These won't let you down when reeling in your dream catch! Live bait is used for some species and will be included, too. This is usually prepared before the trip.
Don't forget to bring your food and drink for the day. This can go into the captain's cooler. Grab your non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, and you're ready to go. Don't forget the mate works for tips (20% customary).
All that's left to do is book a trip with Earning Stripes Sportfishing. Capt. Greg can't wait to welcome you on board!

Bradley Mayville5.0VerifiedGreat Captain, Great Crew, Great Fishing!
Full Day Trip on August 15, 2026 • 6 adultsWe had a fantastic time with Greg on his charter! We caught six different species of fish, and Greg was beyond accommodating from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and made sure we had a great experience. The boat was very comfortable and perfect for whatever type of outing you’re looking for. His mate was highly skilled, and they kept the poles active throughout the trip. You could tell they both really cared about making sure everyone had a great time. It was an awesome day on the water, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Greg and his charter to anyone looking for a great fishing trip!
Brian TerrienRepeat angler5.0Verifiedgreat trip!
Full Day Trip on June 12, 2026 • 6 adultsit was hotter than hades that day but the captain still put us on the cobia. we had a great time the first mate was on point and the boat cabin definitely made the heat bearable
Steve GarnerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewLots of Rays this day
Half Day Bay Trip (AM) on September 5, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenSaw a few Cobia but the Rays were so thick. Loved the boat, Captain and Mate.
Bo GarnerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMy son's first cobia and Spanish Mackerel
Half Day Bay Trip (AM) on July 14, 2024 • 6 adults • 1 childCaptain Greg and crew took us out for a perfect half day of sight casting for cobia. We saw about 20-25 and casted at probably half of them while trolling for Spanish Mackerel. My son caught his first cobia and a mess of Spanish Mackerel. The boat was roomy and nice and the crew was kind and easy going. The review from my 8 year old, "it was good."
Jason JogunRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf day trip
Half Day Bay Trip (AM) on August 2, 2023 • 5 adults • 1 childWhat a fun day. Our Captain had to be switched out to another Captain but boy did we have fun. The Captain was so much fun and helped us with our catches and was friendly. Our first mate was amazing. So knowledgeable and helped us in every way. Both made our fishing trip one to remember. My son and family cannot wait to book with Earning Stripes Sportfishing next year.
Robert CarberryRepeat angler5.0VerifiedJuly 15 2021 with Captain Allman and Mate Joseph at Cape Charles
Half Day Bay Trip (AM) on July 15, 2021 • 2 adultsCaptain Allman and Mate Joseph were super. The boat was very comfortable including air conditioning that came in handy in the 90+ degree heat. They sight-fished for Cobia. We trolled for Spanish Mackerel and jig-fished over a wreck. We hit our limit with 2 Cobia that were both over 40 inches and pulled in 9 mackerel in just a half day trip. They were very helpful and committed to a successful charter. Captain Allman's experience in handling his boat made the landing of the Cobia easy. Joseph was incredible and one of the most likable persons you will ever meet. It was a great experience and we would charter with Captain Allman again.
Matt Kennedy5.0VerifiedGreat way to spend a Tuesday morning!
Half Day Bay Trip (AM) on August 6, 2024 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWeather was great, boat was clean, and the captain & mate put us on the fish quickly. I'd definitely schedule these guys again.
Kathleen Derr5.0VerifiedSuch fabulous memories were made today!
Half Day Bay Trip (AM) on July 10, 2022 • 4 adultsMy guys all reported how fabulous the trip was! Weather was snotty, seas a little rough, but Captain Greg and his first mate came through! The guys said the trip would have been fun even if the didn’t catch Cobia because of how wonderful they he atmosphere was with the crew! I can’t thank Captain and first mate enough!
Laura Cosden5.0Verified6 Hour trip
Full Day Trip on July 5, 2023 • 6 adultsWe had a great day on the water! Everyone was so nice and very patient with our beginning fisherwoman. Highly recommended!
David HartshornRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFun day on the water!!
Special 7 hours trip for David Hartshorn on June 29, 2020 • 3 adultsChad and Joseph couldn’t have been better. Weather changed on us early am but they still got the job done and put the boys on loads of sharks and fish. They took the time to explain and answer any questions my kids had and made their day quite memorable. Two good old laid back hard working gentleman that will do whatever it takes to make you have a great day on the water. Would book with them again in a heartbeat if we get back down that way. Kids are still talking about it days later. Thanks guys. It was awesome.

Bradley’s group was a fun group and very respectfull to us and the boat. They really seemed to enjoy themselves and left the mate a good tip. These guys are welcome back anytime. Good luck to the one that was getting married. Have a safe trip back!
