This isn't your average fishing trip - we're focused on one thing: landing monster sharks. From September 1st to April 1st, we run these specialized charters designed to put you on some serious toothy critters. For $375, you and up to three buddies can spend 5 hours battling it out with some of the ocean's top predators.

When it comes to shark fishing, we don't mess around with tiny hooks and wimpy lines. We're all about using big baits to attract big fish. Our strategy is simple but effective - we'll set up a chum slick to get the sharks interested, then deploy large, fresh bait fish that sharks can't resist. You'll be using sturdy stand-up rods and reels spooled with heavy line, because when a shark hits, you need to be ready for a serious battle. We'll show you how to work the rod, when to give line, and how to bring these powerful fish alongside the boat for a quick photo before a safe release.
Blacktip Sharks are one of our most common catches, and they're a blast to fight. These speedsters can grow up to 6 feet long and are known for their acrobatic leaps when hooked. They're most active in the warmer months, but we can find them year-round. Blacktips are quick to take a bait and will give you a run for your money with their fast runs and aerial displays.
Bonnethead Sharks might not be the biggest sharks in the sea, but what they lack in size, they make up for in fun. These quirky-looking sharks with their distinctive hammer-shaped heads are usually around 3-4 feet long. They're abundant in our waters and are perfect for anglers who want to ease into shark fishing. Bonnetheads feed primarily on crustaceans, so we'll use special baits to target them.
Bull Sharks are the heavyweights of our inshore waters, and hooking into one of these bruisers is the highlight of any shark fishing trip. These powerful predators can reach lengths of over 8 feet and are known for their aggressive nature. Bulls are most active in the warmer months but can be caught year-round. When a Bull Shark takes your bait, hold on tight - you're in for the fight of your life as these monsters are known for their raw power and stamina.
Our shark fishing trips are all about action, but there's more to it than just dropping lines and waiting. We'll cruise to known shark hotspots, looking for signs of activity like birds diving or bait fish jumping. Once we find a promising area, we'll set up our drift and get the chum flowing. While we wait for the sharks to show up, we'll share tips on shark behavior, fishing techniques, and conservation. When a rod goes off, it's all hands on deck! You'll take turns fighting the sharks, with our crew there to guide you every step of the way. And don't worry if you're new to this - we'll make sure you're comfortable with the gear and techniques before the action starts.
Shark fishing isn't just about the catch - it's about the whole experience. There's something primal about battling these ancient predators that keeps anglers hooked. Our guests love the rush of adrenaline when a shark takes the bait, the challenge of the fight, and the bragging rights that come with landing a massive fish.

Blacktip Sharks are sleek, fast swimmers, usually 4-5 feet long but can reach up to 9 feet. You'll spot them by the black tips on their fins. These sharks love warm, coastal waters and often hang around artificial reefs. They're most active in our area from late summer through early spring. Anglers get a kick out of Blacktips because they're known for their spectacular aerial displays. When hooked, they might leap clear out of the water, spinning as they go. It's a sight you won't forget! They're also great fighters, giving you a real run for your money on light to medium tackle. Here's a tip for landing a Blacktip: use oily fish like mackerel or sardines for bait. These sharks have a great sense of smell, so a good chum slick can really bring them in. Set up multiple lines at different depths, and be ready for action. When you hook one, hang on tight – these sharks can hit 20 feet per second when they decide to run!
Bonnethead Sharks are the smallest of the hammerhead family, usually 3-4 feet long. Don't let their size fool you though – these guys put up a great fight! You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. They're most active in warmer months, so summer and early fall are prime times to target them. What's cool about Bonnetheads is their unique shovel-shaped head and their habit of swimming in small schools. They're not as intimidating as some other sharks, making them a perfect target for anglers of all skill levels. Plus, they're known for their acrobatic jumps when hooked, which always gets the adragon pumping. If you want to land a Bonnethead, here's a local trick: use fresh blue crab for bait. Cut it in half and hook it through one of the legs. These sharks can't resist it. A medium-weight rod with 20-pound test line should do the trick. Get ready for a sporty fight – these little sharks punch above their weight!
Bull Sharks are real powerhouses, typically 8-12 feet long and weighing 200-300 pounds. They're known for their aggressive nature and ability to survive in both salt and freshwater. You'll often find them in shallow coastal areas, but they can swim up rivers too. These sharks are active year-round, but we have the best luck catching them from late summer through early spring. Anglers love targeting Bull Sharks for their incredible strength and the challenge they present. When hooked, they put up a fierce fight that'll test your skills and gear. We use heavy tackle and big baits to entice these predators. Here's a pro tip: try using fresh eel as bait. Its high oil content and tough skin make it irresistible to Bulls and helps it stay on the hook. Chumming can also increase your chances of attracting these beasts. Just be ready for an intense battle when you hook one – it's an experience you won't forget!
