Family Adventure - so much fun
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 27, 20262 adults3 children

my sister and myself, and my three nephews went out for an adventure and we sure had one. We took a chance on FishingBooker, and Captain Jeremy and Hunter were amazing and knocked it out of the park. The nephews range from 9 to 16 but have experienced Fishing and my sister and I have been around Fishing our entire life but never actually finished. It was such a great trip. All of us caught fish captain Jeremy navigated extremely well when we got caught in a bit of a storm. I would 100% recommend the two of them to anyone coming in from inexperienced to experience. we learned about all different fish that we’ve never seen before while we caught them and it was awesome for the kids to see the different species that are out there! Bonus, we enjoyed some fish that Captain Jeremy fillet for us and then we took home to cook so delicious!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Best charter ever!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 17, 20251 adult2 children

I usually do a father/sons dishing charter everywhere we go on vacation. This year during our trip to Carolina beach we decided to do a four hour. We knew nothing of the crews or boats down here, but happened to talk to the mate on the fillet and release one night while we were walking around and he was awesome. We booked with them and it was an amazing trip. Captain got us on Spanish mackerel and the boys slayed it for hours. About 36 fish on board and they learned a ton about the area and fishing from both the captain and the first mate. These guys are the best, you Won’t go wrong with them!

8 Hour Trip- Live Bait on August 16, 20255 adults

If you’re looking for THE BEST captain and deckhand in Carolina beach, then look no further than the Fillet and release. Cpt. Jeremy put us on the fish and made us feel like life long friends. The deckhand, Hunter, was absolutely amazing. Not only did he make sure we were always taken care of, but he went above and beyond anything we could’ve expected. He taught me so much about the equipment and extremely knowledgeable about fishing and techniques. I couldn’t say enough about these two guys and everything they did for us. If you want an amazing experience on a beautiful boat, then Fillet and release is the boat for you. Amazing day and will definitely be back to fish with these guys again.
