We typically target bull sharks, spinner sharks, and blacktips, but you never know what might show up in these waters.

Shark Fishing 101

Shark fishing isn't like your typical day on the water - it's a whole different ballgame. We use heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with braided line that can handle the strain of a big shark. The bait of choice? Usually fresh fish or large chunks of oily fish that'll attract those toothy predators. We'll set up a chum slick to bring them in close, then it's a waiting game. When a shark takes the bait, be ready for the fight of your life. These beasts can make blistering runs, so you'll need to be on your toes. Captain Ryan will be right there, coaching you through the battle. It's all catch-and-release, so after a quick photo op, we'll send these apex predators back to keep the ecosystem in balance.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Bull Sharks are the heavyweights of our local waters. These bruisers can grow up to 11 feet long and pack a serious punch. They're known for their aggressive nature and powerful builds, making them a top target for anglers looking for a challenge. Bull sharks are year-round residents, but the action really heats up in the summer months. When you hook into one of these guys, be prepared for a long, grueling fight - they don't give up easily.

Spinner Sharks are the acrobats of the shark world. True to their name, these sharks are famous for leaping out of the water and spinning in the air when hooked. They're typically smaller than bull sharks, averaging around 6 feet, but what they lack in size they make up for in speed and agility. Spinners are most common in the spring and fall, often seen chasing bait fish near the surface. Hooking one of these high-flyers is sure to get your adrenaline pumping.

Blacktip Sharks are another popular target, known for their speed and agility. These sharks are often found in shallower waters, making them accessible to both nearshore and inshore anglers. Blacktips typically run 5-6 feet long and are known for their powerful initial runs and aerial displays. They're most abundant in the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Landing a blacktip is always a thrill - they fight hard from start to finish.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something about shark fishing that gets in your blood. Maybe it's the raw power you feel when a big shark takes off with your bait. Or the rush of adrenaline as you see that massive dorsal fin break the surface. Whatever it is, once you've experienced it, you'll be hooked. Our trips are designed for anglers who want more than just a casual day on the water.
