Awesome experience and an enjoyable time with my son. He clearly wants to get you into fish and cares about your experience. It’s fishing so obviously no guarantees; we were fortunate to catch a few and lost fight to some. If you’re looking for an experience that is tailored to your fishing skill set and adventure wants look no further. Our experiene included: successful drift casting for trout, blues, drum or whatever.Also, success with live bait anchored and more castiy. Nice wrap around boat with some shade; all gear provided and he even cleaned our fish. Would charter again.

We had the absolute pleasure of going out with Captian Hank. Having little expectations with never being on an ocean charter before, I was very pleased with our trip. Hank put us on some spanish mackerel and we even caught a couple blue fish. He was quick to get the rigs back out after each fish, but took his time to explain how things work and really show us what it takes to fish these waters. He even let our family who didn’t fish with us stop by the boat and take pictures at the dock. I would recommend Hank to any new or even experienced people out there looking to have a great time on the water.

This was our third trip with captain Hank for my son’s birthday. Normally we fish for trout but the water conditions this year were not good for that so Captain Hank switched it up and we targeted Mahi-mahi. We had an awesome time and landed 29 keepers just short of the limit.Once again Hank was very knowledgeable and knew all the proper gear and techniques to use. We will definitely try and book another trip next year.

Headed out on an extended half-day trip with Capt Hank. Started off catching bait for the day just near the launch. Caught 40 or so small croaker to live line. Ran to first spot and picked up a single trout on artificials, but bait wasn’t getting it done. Capt Hank was determined to put us on some fish, so we ran to a favorite location of his. The extra run paid off. We ended up with 5 legal trout in the cooler and released another handful of undersized trout, a few small blues and another few pesky rays.
Weather came up out of the south and Capt Hank wisely suggested we modify the trip to just a half-day. This was a wise decision. Wind picked up significantly and rain started just as we were getting back to the launch. We got back to our car safely and then the skies really opened up. The wisdom of an experienced captain making a good call saved the day for us. Would highly recommend Captain Hank for a trip while you’re in the OBX.
We will definitely be back out with him again in the future.

Hank was very friwndly. Made us feel part of his family. Took time to assist us and made us feel welcome. Fishing was slow but the day on the water was nice.
