Reel in Monster Sharks on This 5-Hour Trip

Get ready for some serious shark action on this private 5-hour charter with Jus Chillin Charters. We're talking big baits, big fights, and even bigger sharks. From September through April, we'll take you where the toothy predators lurk, giving you a shot at landing some real beauties. Whether you're a seasoned shark angler or looking to cross this off your bucket list, our crew's got you covered with all the gear and know-how you need.

What to Expect on the Water

This isn't your average fishing trip – we're going after the apex predators of the sea. For $389, you and up to five buddies can hop aboard for a shark-specific adventure. We've got room for two anglers included in the base price, with each additional shark hunter costing just $35 more. Don't sweat the details; we've got all the heavy-duty rods, reels, and shark-grade tackle you'll need. Plus, your fishing license is covered, so you can focus on the thrill of the hunt.

Shark Fishing 101

Shark fishing is a whole different ball game from your typical inshore action. We use hefty gear and massive baits to entice these underwater giants. You'll learn how to properly set up a shark rig, use chum to attract your target, and the art of the patient wait – because when a shark hits, you'll need all your strength and focus. We typically anchor up in prime shark territory and let our baits do the work. When that reel starts screaming, hold on tight – you're in for the fight of your life!

Top Catches This Season

Our waters are teeming with some real bruisers, and we're targeting the cream of the crop. Blacktip sharks are known for their acrobatic jumps and blistering runs. Bonnetheads, while smaller, put up a scrappy fight that'll keep you on your toes. And if you're lucky, you might tangle with a bull shark – these powerhouses can reach over 500 pounds and will test every ounce of your angling skills.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Blacktip Sharks are the speedsters of the shark world. These silver-sided torpedoes can hit 20 mph in short bursts and are famous for their spectacular leaps when hooked. Typically ranging from 4 to 6 feet, they're a blast to catch and release. Blacktips are most active in our waters during the cooler months, making them a perfect target for our fall and winter charters.

Bonnethead Sharks might be the "small fry" of our target species, but don't let their size fool you. These unique-looking sharks, with their distinctive shovel-shaped heads, usually clock in around 3 to 4 feet. What they lack in size, they make up for in feistiness. Bonnetheads are known for their quick, darting fights and are a great option for anglers looking to build confidence before tackling larger sharks.

Bull Sharks are the heavyweights of our inshore shark fishing. These broad-shouldered brutes can grow over 8 feet long and pack a punch that'll make your arms ache for days. Bulls are infamous for their powerful runs and dogged determination not to be boated. They're most common in our area during the warmer months, but can be caught year-round. Landing a bull shark is a true trophy experience – just be prepared for a lengthy battle!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something about shark fishing that gets in your blood. Maybe it's the anticipation as you watch that rod tip, knowing a prehistoric predator could strike at any moment. Or the rush of adrenaline when a shark the size of a small car decides your bait looks tasty. Our repeat customers rave about the pure, raw power of these fish and the bragging rights that come with landing one. Plus, with our catch-and-release policy, you'll feel good knowing you're part of sustainable fishing practices.

Learn more about the animals

Blacktip Shark

Blacktip Sharks are sleek, powerful fish that typically run 4-5 feet long, though some can reach up to 9 feet. You'll find them patrolling artificial reefs and hanging around in water anywhere from 30 to 100 feet deep. They're most active in our area from early fall through spring. These sharks are a blast to catch because of their acrobatic nature - they're known for spectacular leaps and spins when hooked. Blacktips are fast, strong fighters that'll really test your skills. Anglers love the excitement they bring to a trip. To target Blacktips, we use heavy braided line (at least 50-pound test) and circle hooks. Oily fish like mackerel or herring make great bait. Here's a pro tip: create a chum slick to draw them in. Mash up some oily fish and slowly disperse it in the water. The scent trail will bring curious Blacktips right to your boat. Watch for their distinctive black-tipped fins breaking the surface. Once hooked, hang on tight - these sharks are known for sudden, powerful runs and those famous aerial displays. It's an experience you won't forget.

Bonnethead Shark

Bonnetheads are the smallest of the hammerhead family, usually 3-4 feet long. Don't let their size fool you though - these little sharks put up a surprisingly good fight. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries, especially during the warmer months. These guys are fun to target because they're abundant and relatively easy to find. They tend to swim in schools, so where there's one, there's often more. Bonnetheads are most active here from late spring through early fall when the water's warm. Anglers enjoy catching Bonnetheads for their spunky nature and unique shovel-shaped head. They're not the biggest shark out there, but they're quick and feisty on the line. For the best results, use a medium-heavy rod with 20-pound test line and a wire leader. Here's a local secret: blue crab is bonnethead candy. Cut a fresh crab in half and hook it through one of the legs. That scent drives them wild. Keep your eyes peeled for schools cruising the shallows, and you'll be in for some fast-paced shark action.

Bull Shark

Bull Sharks are tough customers, averaging 8-12 feet long and 200-300 pounds. These stocky predators are known for their aggressive nature and ability to thrive in both salt and freshwater. You'll find them cruising shallow coastal areas, rivers, and even lakes. They're most active here from September through April. Anglers love targeting Bulls for their power and the challenge they present. When hooked, expect a serious fight - these sharks don't give up easily. To improve your chances, we use whole fish like mullet or cut mackerel as bait. Here's a pro tip: try freshwater eel if you can get it. The high oil content drives Bulls wild, and the tough skin stays on the hook. Remember, Bull Sharks have an excellent sense of smell. A good chum slick can really get them fired up. Once they're in the area, be ready for some heart-pounding action. Just make sure you've got heavy tackle - these bruisers will test your gear and your skills.
