Meet The Owners!
Casey and Susan Black & daughters Payton and Cameron Black
Hookin' Gingers — a play on words that came straight from our family's red hair and our love for fishing!
The name felt like the perfect mix of personality and passion, capturing both who we are and what we enjoy most. As we start this new adventure, it’s a fun and meaningful way to bring a little bit of our family onto the water with us.






Meet Our Captain.
Ryan Cooper
With a lifetime spent on the water, Ryan has been fishing out of Wilmington since day one, building both experience and passion along the North Carolina coast. Over the years, that passion has taken Ryan fishing from New York to Bermuda and throughout the Bahamas—giving him a deep understanding of Atlantic fisheries and diverse offshore conditions.
Ryan has been fortunate to compete and win tournaments across both North and South Carolina, but what matters most is consistently putting clients on fish and delivering an unforgettable experience.
