These guys gave us a day to remember! From start to finish, everything ran smoothly — fun, professional, and full of great energy. The crew clearly knows their stuff and made the whole experience enjoyable, even for those of us who aren’t seasoned anglers. Special shoutout to our caps mate- Super helpful, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. Whether it was baiting hooks, helping with big catches, or just keeping the vibe fun and upbeat, he nailed it. We... More

If you’re after fast-paced light-tackle fishing, Clearly Hooked Fishing Charters out of Carolina Beach is the way to go. We got into a hot Spanish mackerel bite just minutes from the inlet—steady action on spoons and light gear, with fish in the 2–4 lb range putting up a serious fight.

Our captain and first mate, Nick and Crimson were awesome.  They were welcoming and friendly right off the bat, they gave us some options of best fishing based on the morning and they weren’t wrong! We caught lots of Spanish mackerel and had to start throwing them back because we just couldn’t manage that much! We will absolutely be back next time we are back in North Carolina! Thank you for a great time!

This is the second year in a row we did this exact trip with Clearly Hooked. Had an action packed 3 hours and had plenty of fish to bring home to eat. The captain and mate were great with my two younger boys (12 & 14) teaching them about the fish they were catching and always making sure they had a pole rigged up and fresh bait in the water. Would definitely recommend Clearly Hooked to anyone and all ages.

Captain Nick and his boat mate Crimson were personable and informative, being both familiar with the fishing and Carolina Beach area in general.  They got us fish while other boats in the areas were struggling to hook up.  We were able to get Spanish Mackerel, blues and a few sharks, during our 4 hour trip.  Have been on this boat for prior trips and will come back in the future as well.
