If you're looking for a charter that can provide service to both beginner anglers and families with kids, along with serious sea wolves looking for an adrenaline-rushing fight, look no further than Clearlyhooked fishing charters. They'll go above and beyond to put you on the fish and make sure you have the best experience with them possible!

Join them aboard their 28' long Contender, a center console built in 2015. She can hold up to 6 anglers in comfort, without tangling lines. She's got quite the kick behind her, with twin Yamaha engines outputting a total of 600 HP. That allows her to develop a maximum cruising speed of 45 knots, so you won't waste any time traveling to the fishing grounds! Outriggers and a live bait well are available on board, to let you focus on the fish and give you an edge over your prey.

Your teacher and assistant on this fishing adventure will be Captain Austin Eubank. He's got over two decades of fishing experience under his tackle belt, with multiple Kingfish tournaments wins. With his know-how and teaching abilities, you'll set off after Sailfish, Marlins, King and Spanish Mackerel, Groupers, Snappers, Black Seabass, Amberjacks, Cobias, and many other species. You'll get the chance to use a variety of techniques like spinning, jigging, and popping with light tackle, trolling, bottom fishing, or even kite fishing.

Clearlyhooked fishing charters have no minimum age policy for kids and invite anglers of all ages to come aboard. Captain Austin will clean and fillet your catch free of charge, if the total weight is under 70 pounds. Above that, a small fee is applied per pound. Pickup is available for clients under 10 miles away, anything further than that a flat $50 rate is charged.

SharkFishing!
Shark fishing on April 8, 20265 adults1 child
We had to rescheduledue due to terrible wind and weather. The captain was extremely accommodating and flexible to allow us to still go out later that week and work us in. The capatain warned us about Shark fishing so early in the season upfront but my kids were adamant and so we went. Although we didnt get lucky this trip the boat, ride and vibe was awesome and worth it for family fun! Nck was awesome!

Great Boat and Captain
4 Hour Trip (AM) on April 3, 20264 adults1 child
We had an unforgettable day out! The boat was in great shape and the captain was a true professional! Importantly got our mixed age crew of 4 adults and a child on the fish and went home happy and with well cleaned filets! Be sure to bring a cooler for all the fish you will catch! Easy to find the boat and plenty of places park nearby. Thank you!

The best day!
3 Hour Fishing Trip on July 25, 20254 adults
We booked this trip as a surprise gift for our twin boys 9th birthday! They have always loved fishing on the lake but this was their first experience fishing on the ocean. Both Nick & Owen went above & beyond to make our trip a great one! The boys loved learning how to “troll” for Spanish Mackerel & had some good luck & success on our trip! We even brought some fillets back home and enjoyed eating the fish we caught. Towards the end of our trip they let the boys do a little bit of shark fishing and the twins reeled in two sharks at the same time! It was crazy and such a unique experience—Must have been “twin luck” they said! Overall, we all had a wonderful time and the boys are already asking to make this an annual event when we vacation at Carolina beach!

The Highlight of Our Beach Week!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 23, 20252 adults1 child
Captain Nick & First Mate Crimson took us on a four hour trip (12-4pm). We didn't have much luck on the ocean but did better on the river, where we hooked two beautiful 25-inch red drum (which we prepared that evening with butter and jerk seasoning -- it was FACE MELTINGLY DELICIOUS) and two beautiful flounder (unfortunately they were out of season, so back they went). It was my wife and 10-year-old daughter's first fishing trip, and they LOVED IT. Seeing my daughter's face when she reeled in her first fish is a memory I'll never forget. Nick & Crimson were friendly, responsible and helpful. We'll totally be back.

Book with Clearly hooked! You won't be disappointed!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 14, 20253 adults
Clearly hooked is the way to go! The captain and mate was wonderful to work with from the time we stepped on the dock. They was friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable. They worked hard getting us on fish then was very patient when 2/3 of us became sea sick. They quickly gave us tips to try and overcome it and checked on us often. Book the the trip with clearly hooked! You won't be disappointed! Next time we book a charter we will definitely follow their advice and book with them again! These guys know the ocean and fish like the back of their hands! Thank you all for an amazing 4hr trip on the beautiful ocean!
