Great family experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 9, 20264 adults

Captain was on time, communicated well, gave us tips while fishing. All gear was well maintained and functioning. Was a great family experience for our group of 4. Would recommend and will be booking again when we return next year.

Captain Hank is awesome. He knows the right spots and helped our kids enjoy their first boat fishing trip. Though we didn't catch any keepers we enjoyed the trip and also saw a wonderful dolphin display around the boat.

Reported catch:
Bluefish (Tailor)

Thanks Matt, I appreciate your review. I really enjoyed spending the morning with you and your family. Riley and Jackson stayed engaged the entire trip - such great kids. I hope you'll come back and fish with me again next time you come down even if it's on that Boston Whaler : )

Thanks Cris, I appreciate your review. Sometimes the fishing is slow and it’s very frustrating but you guys were great. The whole trip. Hunter and Hannah were extremely patient. I hope you’ll keep me in mind when you come back and hopefully conditions will be better.  Go Mountaineers!!

Thanks Will - I appreciate your review and you guys treating me fairly, you are a class act. What a mix bag of fish. I just wish it included a few bullies. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here. I sure enjoyed spending time with you, Jim and Liam. I look forward to watching Liam playing basketball in college!

I have to credit my dad for helping me discover my love for fishing at a very young age. My dad would take me to the beach and we would seine for glass minnows when I was barely old enough to wade into the surf. Fast forward to my teenage years and it was my dad who introduced me to the Outer Banks. My first offshore fishing trip was with Rom Whitaker during his first year as a captain at Hatteras Harbor. He made a big impression on me and encouraged me to take my own small boat out to the Gulf Stream, that's how I got started.
