My purpose was to give my 8 year old Grandson Ethan his first salt water fishing experience. Captain Tripp Hooks made that possible. We caught a variety of fish including a small shark which made Ethan's day. Captain Hooks was very patient and made sure Ethan had the experience of bringing the fish in. We are now looking forward to cooking up out catch.
The weather was brutal all week so we knew what we were getting into. But despite this, Captain Tripp worked his tail off to put us on the fish. His effort and attitude was tremendous. Clearly communicated everything we were doing and way. The guy really knows the Ocean Isle waterways. He really went out of his way to set up different rigs in a lot of different places. Once it was clear they werent biting in a spot, we were on the move. We hunted the reds and caught several really nice specks and black drum. His efforts really saved the outing in what was certainly a gloomy situation weather wise. I can’t say every captain would have done the same. Ocean Isle is a great location and we’ll definitely go back out with Captian Tripp in better conditions.
We had anxiously awaited Tripp's return to the water and he did not disappoint. As in the past his pursuit of fish was relentless. While we started off a bit slow we ultimately landed several red fish and had a wonderful overall experience. We'll be back for more charters with Tripp!
Captain Tripp worked hard to put us on some fish, even with the bad weather conditions. Had a great time and would use Captain Tripp again!!
Another excellent day fishing with Captain Tripp. Caught some nice Reds. Looking forward to another day out with Captain Tripp later this week.
