I was born and raised in ocean isle beach, nc. My father was a charter guide for 20 years and I took over the charter fishing side of the business at 18 years old. I have been fishing this area since I was old enough to hold a fishing rod. Fishing this area has been my whole life and enjoy being able to share that with my clients.

VerifiedTrip always gets you on what you are looking for. He listens then makes it his job to find what you are looking for. Couldn’t book with a better person and captain!

VerifiedI have been fishing every year for the last 10 years that I have been going to OIB and this was by far the best! Tripp is a great captain and he knows where the fish are since he has been fishing the area since he was a kid. All of the other trips were always explained as "that's why they call it fishing and not catching." Well, this fishing trip, I went CATCHING. We maxed out our limit on Reds, the caught several Sheepshead keeper, a couple of sting rays and some random pin fish and crockers and blue fish. The only time we weren't catching fish was when we were moving from one spot to another! Tripp is a great guy and I will be using him next year and the year after that when I come back to OIB for our annual vacation. Thanks, Tripp!!! It was awesome!

VerifiedTripp is the real deal. in an hour we had an inshore slam. He is a Second Generation guide and hiscomplete knowledge of where to fish on every tide and wind variation was impressive. At the Same time he is laid back and we had alot of fun!

VerifiedCapt. Tripp worked hard to find the bite. He knew where to get the bait, and we were fishing in short order. He did not dwell on a spot too long if it wasn't producing fish. I've been on charters that all they wanted to do is make time, Capt.Tripp is not that charter. He was all over his boat, and he took care of our needs. If we got hung up, he would give us a pole he had and take ours and take care of the issue. We will definitely book with him again.
