Captain
Hank Heermann

Member since July 2022 Manteo, United States

Background: 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.
Techniques: I love to drift live baits!

Hank is awesome! He’s knowledgeable and nice. Will do as much or as little as you want him to. Unfortunately we had bad conditions so we didn’t catch much, but still caught a few fish. Would highly recommend him to anyone!

Thanks for your review, Kevin! I had a great time fishing with you and Nick. I wish the wind would have held off a little longer. Nick had the hot hand before we were forced to pull anchor. I hope I get a chance to take you guys out again in the future.

My husband and I had such a positive experience fishing with Captain Hank! Not only is his passion for sport fishing inspiring but he’s also extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much and ended the day with some great fish fighting stories to share for years to come! Look forward to our next visit to OBX and have no doubt that Captain Hank will get us hooked on the fish again!

Thanks for your review, Morgan! Dave had his hands full with one of the largest barracuda I’ve ever seen. What a fun trip - hope to take you guys out again soon.

Great day on the water - captain provides cold water which was good since it was super hot. We tried a bunch of spots today in sound but slow action in the heat - overall still a great day on the water.

Just what the headline says, fishing was pretty slow but that was through no fault of the Captain. It gave me, my dad and two cousins a chance to get out on the water during a family vacation so it was definitely worth it!

My son and I had a great trip. We fish in northern MN and wanted some guided experience in the sound. Captain Hanks is knowledgeable and very personable - we will book with him again.
