Local Species Insights: Bull Sharks
Bull sharks are among the most formidable predators in Florida's coastal waters. These powerful fish are known for their ability to thrive in both saltwater and freshwater environments, making the coastal regions around Destin perfect habitat. Bull sharks typically cruise the shallower waters, particularly during warmer months when they follow baitfish close to shore. Captain Zachary's specialized techniques for targeting these massive predators include using substantial bait presentations, proper tackle with high line capacity, and strategic placement based on tide and time of day.
While bull sharks provide exceptional sport fishing action, they require proper handling and conservation practices. Most shark fishing in Florida is strictly catch-and-release, helping preserve these important apex predators. Captain Zachary ensures all sharks are quickly photographed and safely released, maintaining the health of local shark populations while still providing clients with the thrill of a lifetime.
