What's the Catch?

Picture this: You're lounging on the warm sand when suddenly, one of our massive reels starts screaming. Before you know it, you're locked in an epic battle with a powerful shark. That's the kind of thrill we deliver on this top-rated beach shark charter. We use only the freshest bait - think chunks of tuna, mackerel, and ray - to lure in a variety of shark species. The best part? Everyone gets a shot at landing their own shark. It's all about teamwork, excitement, and making those "you should've seen it!" stories come to life.

Shark Fishing 101

Ever wonder how we catch sharks from the beach? It's not your average cast-and-wait game. We use kayaks to paddle our baits way out past the second sandbar - we're talking serious distance here. This strategy puts your line right where the big boys swim. We set you up with top-of-the-line gear, including monster 18/0 Everol reels that can handle anything the Gulf throws at us. Don't sweat it if you're new to this - our expert guides will show you the ropes and make sure you're ready when that fin decides to take a bite.

Reel Talk from Happy Anglers

"Zach and his team are first class fishermen.... We arrived at 7:00 on the beach, and they already had the gear up and the bait was going out. And I mean "out." These guys kayaked the bait WAYYYY out... well past the second sand bar..... all in an effort to get our baits in the perfect position to catch some sharks. I popped a cold beverage and inspected the shark fishing equipment.... Top of the line. Biggest damn reels I've ever seen (18/0 Everols). We didn't have to wait long until we had an incredible bite...... the shark started running away from us, pulling 50 pounds of drag like it was nothing..... We all had a turn on the reel when the unthinkable happened - our shark got crossed up with another shark down the beach, and our line got cut. While we were dejected, Zack and the guys hopped right back into their kayak and got another bait out - this time, with some fresh stingray. It took a while, but we finally got another bite, and this time, there was no one else on the beach to interfere. After an incredible 30 minute fight, we landed an 11 ft. tiger shark. Zach's crew sprang into action, pulling the shark close enough for some pics, while making sure that the shark was getting plenty of water through her gills to sustain her. Once we got the hook out, we released her to fight another day. I can't say enough good things about this trip. These guys LOVE what they do, and it shows in the way they approach their charter. If you want to catch a shark, then call Zach without delay." - Marc

Toothy Targets

The waters off Florida's Panhandle are home to a variety of shark species, and what we hook depends on the season. Here's a taste of what you might tangle with:

Blacktip Sharks: These speedsters are known for their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs. Averaging 4-5 feet in length, blacktips are a blast to catch and put up a fight that'll test your skills. They're most common in the warmer months and love to chase bait fish close to shore.

Bull Sharks: Don't let the name fool you - these bruisers are no bull when it comes to fighting. Bulls can grow up to 8 feet or more and are built like tanks. They're not picky eaters, which means they'll often be the first to snatch your bait. Catching one of these bad boys is a real notch in your angling belt.

Hammerhead Sharks: With their distinctive T-shaped heads, hammerheads are the rock stars of the shark world. Spotting one of these unique creatures is always a trip highlight. They can grow huge - some species reach over 10 feet - and hooking into one is like trying to stop a submarine. Hammerheads are less common, but when they show up, it's an unforgettable experience.

Tiger Sharks: The holy grail for many shark anglers, tiger sharks are the gentle giants of our waters. Growing up to 14 feet or more, these striped beauties are known for their power and endurance. Landing a tiger shark is a team effort and a memory that'll last a lifetime. We always prioritize the shark's well-being, ensuring a quick release after a few photos.
