The Experience

Captain John Canning III specializes in light tackle fishing, offering a patient and authentic Outer Banks experience. Operating out of Hatteras Harbor Marina, his shallow-draft skiff can reach the skinny water spots most boats can't touch — where the big fish are hiding.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, every trip is tailored to your group's pace and goals. All tackle, bait, ice, and licenses are included.
