Shark Fishing 101

Fishing for sharks isn't your typical day on the water - it's a whole different ballgame. We'll be using some serious gear to handle these powerful predators. Think big rods, strong line, and hooks that look like they could hang a truck engine. Captain Jordan's got a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to bait. We might use fresh-cut fish, whole smaller fish, or even special chum mixtures to get those sharks interested. Once we're set up, it's all about patience and being ready to spring into action. When a shark takes the bait, you'll know it. The reel will start singing, and that's when the real fun begins. It's you against one of nature's most perfect hunting machines. Don't worry if you're new to this - the captain will be right there to coach you through the fight. Just remember to lift with your legs, not your back!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Blacktip sharks are one of our most common catches, and they're a blast to fight. These speedsters can hit 6 feet long and are known for their acrobatic leaps when hooked. They're most active in our waters during the warmer months, from spring through fall. Blacktips are quick strikers and will give you a run for your money on lighter tackle.

Blue sharks are the marathon runners of the shark world. These sleek, blue-grey predators can grow up to 12 feet long and are known for their endurance. They're less common in our inshore waters but can be encountered further offshore. Blues are curious by nature and might come right up to the boat to check things out. Hooking one of these guys means you're in for a long, powerful fight.

Tiger sharks are the heavyweights of our local waters. These massive predators can top out at over 14 feet and are the ultimate trophy for shark anglers. They're less common than some other species, but when you hook one, you'll know it. Tigers are known for their power and their ability to eat just about anything - including other sharks! Catching one of these giants is an experience you'll never forget.

Bonnethead sharks might be on the smaller side, maxing out around 5 feet, but they're no less exciting to catch. These unique-looking sharks, with their hammer-shaped heads, are quick and agile. They're often found in shallower waters and can put up a surprisingly good fight for their size. Bonnetheads are most active in our area during the summer months.

Tope sharks, also known as school sharks, are sleek and fast swimmers. They typically range from 4 to 6 feet long and are known for their sudden, powerful runs when hooked. Topes are migratory and pass through our waters seasonally, usually in the cooler months. They're not as common as some other species, so landing one is always a special treat.

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 that rod bends double and line starts peeling off the reel. Or the heart-pounding moment when you see that dark shadow circling the boat. Whatever it is, once you've done it, you'll be hooked. And the waters off New Smyrna Beach are some of the best around for consistent shark action. We've had days where the bite is so hot, it's hard to keep baits in the water. Even if you don't land a monster, the thrill of the hunt and the stories you'll take home are worth the trip. Plus, with Captain Jordan's expertise, you'll pick up tips and tricks that'll up your shark fishing game for years to come.
