Question 2

What Sharks Will We Be Catching?

Accepted Answer

South Florida offers some of the best shore-based shark fishing in the country. Depending on the season and conditions, common shark species we catch include:
Blacktip sharks
Spinner sharks
Bull sharks
Sandbar sharks
Lemon sharks
Hammer Head sharks
Tiger sharks
We always fish with at least two rod and reel setups to maximize your chances of catching sharks. One larger setup is dropped farther off the beach to target the bigger sharks that patrol the reef. At the same time, we keep a smaller setup closer to shore. While this setup is ideal for targeting smaller shark species, it is still fully capable of landing large sharks when they move into the shallows.
Running both setups allows us to cover the entirety of the shark's roaming waters at once, increasing action and giving our clients the best possible opportunity to hook into a shark during their trip.

Question 3

What Do I Need To Bring?

Accepted Answer

We provide everything you need for a successful shark fishing experience. That includes all rods, reels, and tackle, as well as chairs, shelter, heat when needed, a charging station for your devices, and a cooler with ice. We come fully prepared so you can focus on fishing and enjoying the experience.
All you need to bring are your personal items. For daytime trips, that may include sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, snacks, drinks, or anything else you like to have for a few hours at the beach. For evening or overnight trips, you may want to bring extra layers or any personal comfort items.
The only thing truly required is that you show up ready to have a lot of fun and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Question 4

Why Is A Deposit Required?

Accepted Answer

We require a deposit to properly prepare for your trip. Before every charter, we acquire fresh bait, ice and new tackle to make sure you have the best possible chance of success. Quality bait and gear make a big difference, and we don’t cut corners when it comes to giving our clients a great experience.

Because these items are bought specifically for your scheduled trip, a no-show or last-minute cancellation means we would lose the money already spent on bait and equipment. The deposit helps cover those upfront costs and ensures we can continue providing top-quality trips for all of our clients.

Your deposit secures your date, allows us to prepare properly, and guarantees we’re fully ready when you arrive.
