What's the Deal?

Picture this: you're out on the calm waters of Florida Bay, the sky's turning all kinds of colors as evening rolls in, and suddenly your rod doubles over. That's when the real fun begins. This trip is all about battling some of the ocean's top predators, right in their backyard.

You'll get hands-on experience setting lines, working the bait, and if luck's on our side, reeling in a shark that'll make your arms feel like jelly.

Shark Fishing 101

We don't mess around when it comes to shark fishing. We're using stout rods, big reels spooled with heavy line, and wire leaders – these fish have teeth, after all. The name of the game is chumming and patience. We'll set up a slick to bring the sharks in close, then it's all about presenting the right bait. Could be a fresh chunk of bonito or a live blue runner – whatever's working that day. When a shark takes the bait, you'll know it. These aren't your average fish; they've got some serious power behind them. Captain Jason will be right there, coaching you through the fight, making sure you're working the rod right and keeping tension on the line. It's a workout, but man, is it worth it when you see that dorsal fin break the surface.

What the Shark Hunters Say

"Captain Jason got us straight into the action with the sharks—we ended up catching three different species: lemon, nurse, and blacktip. My son had an absolute blast, and we're already excited to plan our next trip!" - Bradford

"We did a quick two-hour trip with our 9- and 11-year-olds for their first ocean fishing experience, and it couldn't have gone better. Jason knew exactly where to take us and was incredibly patient—baiting and rebaiting hooks for all of us while keeping the kids involved and excited the whole time. He even extended the trip a bit since we were on a hot snapper bite. We ended up catching a couple dozen fish and kept about half for a delicious hook-and-cook meal at Robbie's. A perfect introduction to ocean fishing for the kids!" - Mark

Toothy Targets

In Florida Bay, we've got a real shark smorgasbord. Let's break down some of the heavy hitters you might tangle with:

Blacktip Sharks: These guys are like the acrobats of the shark world. Known for their high-flying antics, blacktips will often leap clear out of the water when hooked. They average around 5 feet long but can get up to 8 feet. Blacktips are fast, powerful, and put up one heck of a fight. They're most active in the warmer months and love to cruise the shallows, making them a perfect target for our nearshore trips.

Lemon Sharks: Don't let the name fool you – there's nothing sour about hooking one of these beauties. Lemon sharks can grow up to 10 feet long and are known for their endurance. When you hook a lemon, settle in for a long battle. They're not as quick as blacktips, but they've got stamina for days. These sharks love hanging around sandy bottoms and seagrass beds, which we've got plenty of in Florida Bay.

Nurse Sharks: Now, nurse sharks might not have the teeth-baring reputation of their cousins, but don't sleep on 'em. These bottom-dwellers can grow up to 14 feet long and have powerful suction-like mouths. They're not the fastest swimmers, but when hooked, they use their weight to their advantage. Nurse sharks are nocturnal feeders, which makes our evening trips prime time for hooking into one of these gentle giants.

Bull Sharks: If you're looking for the heavyweight champion of our waters, look no further than the bull shark. These bad boys can top out at over 11 feet and 500 pounds. They're aggressive feeders and will eat just about anything, which makes them a blast to target. Bulls can tolerate freshwater too, so you might find them anywhere from the shallow flats to well up coastal rivers. Landing a bull shark is a true test of an angler's skill and strength.
