Had a great time with captain Greg and his 1st mate joe. Both super easy going guys that made the trip enjoyable from the start. We were able to land a 40lb pound bull redfish, a stingray, and countless shark during the trip. No Cobia this trip but it certainly wasn’t due to a lack of effort on the captain and joe. Had a great trip and will certainly be hooking Up with earning stripes on our next visit to cape Charles!

Captain Chad and his deckhand Joe catered to our every need and experience level(greenhorns).  It was a half day trip, however we were lucky to have caught a few fish.  Seems like they know what they are doing!  They were very polite and professional, and definitely earned their tips.  I would recommend Earning Stripes Sportfishing to anybody who is looking for a happy fishing experience in Cape Charles.

The captain of the first mate were the best the boat was a great boat they worked hard to keep us on the fish all day and they were not in a hurry to end our trip. I would not hesitate to go out with this crew and boat again. We had a great time

I’ll start with the crew, very knowledgeable, friendly and really easy to talk with. Started the day site fishing for cobia didn’t have any luck. The capt switched up and put us in a good spot to bottom fish, which was awesome. Caught lots of sharks, rays, and we even ended up catching cobia. Overall great time and would definitely recommend

Couldn’t have been a better day and a great crew.  We had a fantastic time. Highly recommended and we’re already making plans to go stripper fishing with the crew In December.
