HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Best charter ever!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 17, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 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 live bait

8 Hour Trip- Live Bait on August 16, 2025 • 5 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.

we enjoyed our trip Fillet and Release Fishing Charter. We learned about outriggers and down riggers; we caught Spanish Mackeral and Blue Fish. The weather wasn’t the most cooperative, but a fun trip. Capatsin Jeremy snd First Mate Hunter were knowledgeable and ver personable. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Book this crew!

6 Hour Trip – Live Bait on August 15, 2025 • 1 adult • 3 children

This crew was very professional and friendly. Welcomed my family and had the day planned out based off our conversation on the phone. Took us out, put us on a ton of fish! Got our limit of Amber hack in under an hour! Put us on a ton of Spanish mackerel and even took us to a great shark spot. Will book again with this crew!

Had an awesome day on this fishing boat! The crew was knowledgeable and super friendly, guiding us to a hot spot where we hauled in a bucket full of Spanish mackerel. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and perfect for a fun day on the water. Highly recommend for a fantastic fishing adventure!
