My girlfriend and I went fishing with John on hookup charters. John took us to some shallows and got us on the fish right away. Ended up catching our limit of drum and a nice big trout. Had a blast conversing with him , he is very knowledgeable of the area and the fishing and is a true outdoorsman with a good sense of humor. We will be fishing with him again.

We were 2 adults and 4 kids ages 12-14 and John on a half day fishing trip. John knows the area very well and has contacts on shore and out on the water. After about an hour of travel, trying 1 spot and John talking to other captains, we got into several schools of blue fin and mackerel. John was gaffing fish into the boat non-stop and helping reset lost bait and tangled lines for about 2 hours before we motored back to dock. It was a very enjoyable time and better experience than another charter that we tried a few days later.

Hands down the BEST customer service and fishing experience in the Outer Banks! Captain John Canning provided my family and me with memories to last a lifetime! Cpt. John made sure to put us on some fish the whole trip especially by collaborating with his friends the whole time to make sure where they’re biting! This man knows his stuff as we brought home more than what was expected and topped off the trip by putting me on a record Red Drum at the end of the trip! Thanks John for a heck of time that we will never forget! We will fish with you every time we visit OBX!
