    Birthday Fish

    4 Hour Trip (PM)4 adults

    Got the trip for my son's 23rd birthday, he and his wife's first sea fishing. Weather was great, seas were mild, and fish started biting as soon as we got bait in the water! We caught for a good 2.5 hours then started shark fishing. Caught a baby, then hooked something pretty good sized that got off, then my son wrestled a hammerhead for 10-15 minutes to end the trip! By the time we got back to the docks, that shark was about 7ft long! (She was really about 3.5-4ft)

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel

    Absolute Blast!

    3 Hour Fishing Trip5 adults

    Our family's first offshore fishing trip was one we'll never forget! 🎣 My son caught a sand shark, (my duaghter was beyond excited to pet it!) My boyfriend reeled in a hammerhead (no idea how he will ever top that!), and we even saw dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays. The Captain (Nick) and First Mate (Max) were absolutely amazing, knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great time. When I started feeling overheated, Nick immediately made sure I was okay, which I really appreciated. We'll definitely be booking with them again next year... although I think I'll be supporting the crew from dry land next time! 😂 Highly recommend! 🦈

    An excellent afternoon fishing

    4 Hour Trip (AM)3 adults

    Captain Nick and First Mate Max are outstanding guides who are relaxed and laid back. Our first attempt to go out was rained away, but Captain Nick was great and scheduled us for later in the week. They were very helpful and answered our 13yo’s multiple questions. We caught mackerel for a couple of hours and then spent the last hour fishing for shark. We had an excellent time and look forward to fishing with Nick and his crew again on our next visit to Carolina Beach! We recommend them highly without hesitation.

    Great trip, not long enough!

    Shark fishing2 adults

    Captain Nick and first mate Max were so wonderful. They gave us the option of going out to where the big sharks were, or going to where we’d catch other fish and smaller sharks. Of course, I wanted to do both. We waited a bit too long at the first spot and only got one bite. Once we headed to the second spot, we caught a ton of fish and had various different lures/baits in the water. We couldn’t reel them fast enough. Nick gave us a bit more time since we didnt ccatch anything in the first spot. But overall, 2 hours was not enough! Highly recocmmend. Max chatted us up the entire time and was great at entertaining the guests. We had a blast and our 6 year old enjoyed his first ccharter expereince!

    Awesome for all ages!

    Shark fishing4 adults1 child

    Nick and Max took us out to catch some sharks! On board was my husband, myself, our 14 year old and our 2 year old. When looking for a tour I wanted one that was kid friendly. After reading many previous reviews, I chose this one and it definitely didn’t disappoint! We caught a sandshark, several seabass, some spanish mackerel, and some other fish. They were great at communicating what we were doing ahead of time and even stopped to let us see some dolphins! We definitely will book with them again in tbe futrue!

What's biting with Clearlyhooked Fishing Charters in Carolina Beach

The Fall Flatfish Tournament is the perfect place to try for huge doormat Flounder. This is a great local fishing event with a cheap buy-in and plenty of healthy competition.
