This Trip was originally scheduled for Aug 28, with the threat of inclement weather we rescheduled to Aug 30th, Day before Hurricane Idalia.  Had a great day, was one Red Drum away from limiting out, and caught our limit on Trout.  Caught one Over slot Red Drum (We released), and A Large Trout. We were able to catch one drum in slot and ate both of them that night at Blue Water Grill at Pirates Cove.  The rest of the trout was filleted and bagged and will go home with us.  Got rained on while cleaning the fish but it was ALL Good, will look forward to next vacation here in the OBX and Fishing with Hank.  Will try and get some pics uploaded later.

Thanks for a Great Trip.. Fred, aka, (JEFF)

We had an awesome day. It started out by getting to catch live bait for use later which was a new experience and totally worth it. We then moved on to our fishing area and although it took a little bit for the fish to bite, which hey it’s called fishing not catching, the fish did start biting. The pictures above are just 2 of the 10 fish we caught. We had some keepers and our captain did everything he could to put us in the best situation possible to give us the most opportunity to catch fish. I would highly recommend Captain Hank for a fishing trip. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful even helped my boy get more confidence at casting. Couldn’t have asked for anything more than what we had. If I could give more than five stars I definitely would.

Fishing is an inexact sport.  Finding fish is difficult and landing keepers isn’t always guaranteed.  We had a tough start catching nothing but short fish but after trying a few different spots Capt Hank had to decide whether to chase the catch where others reported bites or go with his instinct and take us back to where fish were biting but we couldn’t land a keeper.  He chose to go back to where we started and not only did we land 5 keepers, one was a jumbo 24 inch trout!  My son and I had a balland Hank went out of his way to make it fun and relaxing.  First mate Hunter was an exceptional angler and helped keep us on track the entire way.  Highly recommended!

I have had an opportunity to have been on quite a few charter boats over the past ten years in the Outer Banks, Virginia Beach, Maine, and Connecticut.  Captain Hank is the most knowledgeable, kind, and hard working Captain that I have ever personally encountered.  I can not say enough about the amount of effort he puts forth to make sure that you have every opportunity to catch a variety of fish.  I come to the Outer Banks every year and am confident I will not have to book elsewhere in the future.  Such a great experience!

What a great morning on the water with Captain Hank!! The fish were being a bit elusive but the enjoyment of the venture was priceless! I chose Captain Hank due to the reviews about the “experience” and it was worth every penny. Hank’s friendly demeanor was more than I expected. We had great rapport and shared a lot of “music” talk as I found out he plays as I do. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional and patient. I highly recommend Captain Hank for a memorable experience!!
