Captain Greg is a local who has been licensed since 2000. He and Captain Chad work together, so you will be fishing with one of the two. Captain Greg grew up on an island so being close to the water always felt natural to him. When he turned 16 he got himself a boat. When fishing feels so right to you, you have to make it your livelihood as well as your hobby and passion. So he began running charters in 2015 and hasn't looked back! One of the best parts of the job is seeing kids catch their first fish, especially when it's a big one! Capt. Greg also enjoys participating in tournaments.

Great Captain, Great Crew, Great Fishing!
Full Day Trip on August 15, 2026 • 6 adults
We 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!

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!

My son's first cobia and Spanish Mackerel
Half Day Bay Trip (AM) on July 14, 2024 • 6 adults • 1 child
Captain 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."

Half day trip
Half Day Bay Trip (AM) on August 2, 2023 • 5 adults • 1 child
What 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.
