What to Expect on the Water

We'll meet up at the dock at 4:00 AM sharp - I know it's early, but trust me, it's worth it to beat the crowds and hit the best spots. Our 31-foot center console is equipped with top-of-the-line gear and fish-finding tech to get us right where we need to be. Once we're out past the breakers, we'll set up our spread and start chumming. Then it's game on! When that clicker starts screaming, be ready for the fight of your life. These sharks don't give up easy, but man is it a rush when you finally get one boatside. We've got plenty of room for 6 anglers, so bring your crew and make a day of it.

Techniques & Gear Breakdown

Shark fishing is a whole different ballgame from your typical inshore trips. We use heavy-duty stand-up rods paired with two-speed reels loaded with 80-100 lb test. Our rigs are typically wire leaders with large circle hooks, baited up with fresh bunker or mackerel. We'll be drifting and chumming, creating a nice slick to draw the sharks in. When you hook up, it's all about patience and technique. You can't muscle these guys in - it's a game of give and take, pumping the rod and reeling down. Don't worry if you're new to it, we'll coach you through every step. Just be ready for some sore arms the next day!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Thresher sharks are the showstoppers out here. These acrobatic predators are known for their incredibly long, whip-like tails that they use to stun their prey. They'll often go airborne when hooked, putting on a spectacular show. Threshers typically range from 200-400 pounds, but we've seen some pushing 500+. They're most active in our waters from late spring through fall.

Brown sharks, also known as sandbar sharks, are another common catch. They might not have the flash of a thresher, but they're stubborn fighters that'll test your stamina. These guys stick close to the bottom and can weigh up to 200 pounds. We see them pretty much year-round, but summer is prime time.

Blue sharks are the speedsters of the bunch. They're sleek, fast, and known for their long runs. Blues can grow over 10 feet long and put on quite a show at the surface. They prefer cooler water, so we tend to see more of them in late spring and early fall. Landing a big blue is always a highlight of any trip.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's just something about shark fishing that gets in your blood. Maybe it's the anticipation as you watch that balloon bob on the surface, knowing any second it could disappear in a frenzy of white water. Or the adrenaline rush when you're locked in a tug-of-war with a 300-pound predator. Every trip is different, and you never know what might show up in the slick. We've had days where we've hooked into half a dozen different species. Plus, there's nothing like being out on the open ocean, miles from shore, surrounded by nothing but blue water and good company. It's an experience that'll have you planning your next trip before we even hit the dock.
