Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Zachary and his crew deliver exceptional shark fishing adventures, consistently landing impressive catches including massive tiger sharks, hammerheads, blacktips, and lemon sharks. Customers regularly catch multiple species in single trips, with some landing up to nine sharks in six hours. Zachary uses top-notch equipment like 18/0 Everol reels and deploys baits hundreds of yards offshore using kayaks and drones. His deep understanding of shark movement and seasonal patterns helps him position baits perfectly for quick hookups. Zachary's passion for shark fishing creates an infectious enthusiasm that makes every trip memorable. Families especially appreciate the beach-based format that allows flexibility, while his crew handles everything from gear setup to expert fish handling and safe releases. Customers love watching the bait deployment process and getting hands-on experiences like touching sharks and learning filleting techniques. Many guests book repeat trips and consistently recommend Zachary for his knowledge, dedication, and ability to create once-in-a-lifetime fishing memories.

Our family had a great time! The guys were very knowledgeable and easy to talk too. They work very hard to make sure you get the opportunity to get a shark. Even on a cold December night. We’re from Kansas so we had ALOT of questions and they were very easy to talk with and answered all of them. They were great with my 10 yr old as well! We are already planning our next trip back. Thank you both so much!

What a trip! Zach and Cole were top notch and very good at what they do. We were able to land 2 blacktips, 2 bulls, 1 lemon, and 1 big tiger shark on our 6 hr trip. It was definitely the highlight of our trip and will be for sure booking again in the future.

We had a great time hanging out and fishing with these guys! Our guides were great and knew exactly how to get us hooked up with some awesome shark fishing. The surf was very rough that day, but our guides fought through it and kayaked the baits out to just the right spot. We were lucky enough to land a tiger and a blacktip before the sun went down. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable and amazing fishing trip. Capt. Zach provide a once in a lifetime experience. It was incredible. We reeled in a 11.5 ft hammerhead with plenty of help from his crew. what an awesome night and team effort to catch the hardest fighting fish in the ocean. We can’t leave out the hard fighting 6ft lemon shark and the 2 hard hitting black-tip sharks which lit up the reels early in the evening. All equipment is top notch and the crew very experienced.

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.
