Shark Fishing: 3-Hour Adrenaline Rush

Our local waters are known for some of the best shark action around, and we're here to put you right in the middle of it. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, this trip is all about experiencing the raw power of these ocean predators up close and personal.

What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're out on the open water as the sun's just starting to peek over the horizon. The air's crisp, the boat's humming, and you know there's something big swimming beneath you. That's the start of our 3-hour shark fishing adventure. We kick off at 7:00 AM sharp, so you'll want to have your coffee in hand and your game face on. For $500, you and up to five of your buddies can get in on this action. It's perfect for families looking to make some wild memories or a group of friends ready to test their mettle against some of the ocean's top predators.

How We Roll on the Water

We don't mess around when it comes to shark fishing. We use a mix of techniques to make sure you're in for a real treat. We're talking deep sea fishing where the big boys play, bottom fishing to lure them up from the depths, and we'll switch between light and heavy tackle depending on what's biting. One minute you might be feeling a gentle tug, the next you're hanging on for dear life as a shark decides to take you for a ride. We've got all the gear you need, from sturdy rods to heavy-duty line that can handle those toothy giants. And don't worry, our crew knows these waters like the back of their hands - we'll put you right where the action is.

Species You'll Want to Tangle With

Tope Shark: These sleek predators are like the greyhounds of the shark world. They're fast, they're agile, and they put up one heck of a fight. Topes can grow up to 6 feet long and are known for their sudden, powerful runs that'll have your reel screaming. They're most active in the warmer months, so summer trips are your best bet for hooking one of these beauties.

Bonnethead Shark: Don't let their smaller size fool you - these little cousins of the hammerhead are feisty fighters. Usually around 3-4 feet long, bonnetheads are perfect for anglers who want a more manageable shark experience. They're curious and often found in shallower waters, making them a great target for light tackle fishing. Spring and fall are prime times to catch these guys.

Blacktip Shark: If you're looking for an acrobatic show, blacktips are your ticket. These sharks are famous for their aerial displays, often leaping clear out of the water when hooked. They average about 5 feet in length and are a favorite among sport fishermen for their energetic fights. You'll find them year-round, but they're especially active in the summer months.

Tiger Shark: Now we're talking serious business. Tiger sharks are the heavyweights of our local waters, growing up to 14 feet long. Landing one of these monsters is the holy grail of shark fishing. They're powerful, they're smart, and they'll test every bit of your fishing skills. Tiger sharks are around all year, but your best chances are in the late summer and early fall when the waters are warmest.

Blue Shark: These open-ocean wanderers are a real treat when they show up in our fishing grounds. Blues are known for their incredible stamina - hook one, and you're in for a marathon, not a sprint. They can grow up to 12 feet long and are distinguished by their sleek bodies and vibrant blue coloration. Spring and early summer are your best bets for encountering these pelagic predators.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the moment when a shark takes your bait. The rod bends, the line zips out, and suddenly you're connected to one of the ocean's apex predators. It's a rush that keeps our regulars coming back trip after trip. And it's not just about the catch - it's about being out there on the water, feeling the salt spray on your face, and sharing the excitement with your crew. Whether you're reeling in a feisty blacktip or battling a massive tiger shark, each trip is a new adventure.

Learn more about the species

Blacktip Shark

Blacktip Sharks are stocky, powerful fish known for their black-tipped fins. They usually run 4-5 feet long, maxing out around 9 feet and 270 pounds. You'll find them in coastal waters, often near beaches and in estuaries. We target Blacktips year-round, but they're most active in warmer months. They like shallow waters under 100 feet deep, especially around artificial reefs. Anglers love Blacktips for their acrobatic jumps and hard fights. They'll test your gear and skills, making for an exciting catch. To land one, use a sturdy rod with at least 20-50 pound test line. Circle hooks are a must. Chum the water with oily fish like mackerel or herring to get them interested. Live bait works best - try a frisky sardine or mullet. One pro tip: Blacktips can be skittish, so keep a low profile on the boat. When they hit, be ready for some serious runs and maybe even a spectacular leap or two.

Blue Shark

Bonnethead Shark

Tiger Sharks are impressive predators, averaging 11-14 feet long and 800-1400 pounds. Females can reach a massive 2000 pounds. You'll spot them by their distinctive dark stripes, which fade as they age. These sharks prefer warm, coastal waters but will venture into the shallows to hunt. We find Tigers year-round in tropical areas, with more activity in summer months. They're often near reefs or in waters up to 1000 feet deep. Anglers target them for their size and powerful fights. Landing a Tiger is a true test of skill and strength. To catch one, we'll use heavy tackle - 100-pound test line minimum. Live bait is key - mackerel, bluefish, or tuna work great. Chumming helps attract them. Be ready for a long battle - Tigers are known for their endurance. One local trick: use circle hooks to improve catch-and-release survival rates. Remember, these sharks are protected in many areas, so we practice responsible fishing.

Tiger Shark

Bonnethead Sharks are unique-looking creatures with spade-shaped heads. They're on the smaller side, usually 3-4 feet long. You'll spot them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. These sharks are most active in warm months, heading south for winter. We find them in waters less than 30 feet deep, often cruising over sandy or muddy bottoms. Anglers enjoy targeting Bonnetheads for their spunky fights and abundance. They're also one of the few sharks that regularly eat crustaceans. To catch one, use medium tackle - a 20-pound setup works well. Fresh cut blue crab is the go-to bait. Here's a local trick: cut the crab in half and thread your hook through a leg joint. The scent drives Bonnetheads wild. They're not the biggest sharks, but they'll give you a good tussle on light gear. Plus, their odd looks make for great photos before release.

Tope Shark

Blue Sharks are sleek, torpedo-shaped predators with a stunning deep blue color. They typically grow 7-10 feet long, with females reaching up to 400 pounds. You'll find them in open ocean waters, usually deeper than 100 feet. These sharks are curious and relatively docile, making them popular for shark fishing trips. We target Blue Sharks year-round, but summer and fall are prime seasons when water temps are in the 50s-60s F. Anglers love battling Blues for their acrobatic jumps and long runs. While not considered great eating, their beauty and fight make them a prized catch-and-release species. To land one, we'll drift fish using an oily chum slick. I like to keep baits at least 20 feet from the boat - Blues can get pretty frisky when hooked! Heavy tackle in the 80-130 pound class is a must. Patience is key - sometimes it takes an hour or more for them to find the chum, but the wait is worth it when that reel starts screaming.
