Hatteras Harbor Marina

Stanley Stasiewicz

A group of us have been shore fishing the OBX for many years and decided to try something different year. We called around to the local bait shops for recommendations and Hook Up Charter with Capt John Canning based out of Hatteras Harbor Marina came up several times. Capt John is young but very focused on achieving your goal to catch fish. So much so that he doesn't communicate very well as to his intentions to get you those fish but if the fish are there, he will find them by talking with his fellow charters and friends as to where they are. We were supposed to fish inshore (the sound) but realized we were heading out of Ocracoke Inlet into the ocean. Capt John only told us of the change after being asked and it was because the fishing reports for the sound were not good. We rolled with it but it would have been nice to know before we started as one of the group is prone to getting seasick. Regardless, Capt John got us on several groups of blues and we had a ball. In no time we hit our quota and went looking for Spanish mackerel. If the rain hadn't started and our friend had been feeling better, we would have continued looking but we decided to call it a success and go back in. Overall it was a great experience and we'll consider doing it again next year.
