Fourhour private charter targeting massive Seven Gill SharksSeasonal availability May through September with 6:30 AM departureHandson fishing experience for groups up to four guests
If you've been dreaming about tangling with one of the ocean's apex predators, this is your chance. Our 4-hour monster shark fishing charter puts you face-to-face with massive Seven Gill Sharks in their prime hunting grounds. Limited to just 4 anglers, this private charter runs from May through September when these prehistoric beasts are most active. We're talking about sharks that can stretch over 10 feet and pack enough power to test every ounce of your fishing skills. This isn't your typical day on the water – it's a chance to battle one of the most formidable predators swimming in our local waters.
We'll have you on the water by 6:30 AM sharp, when the sharks are actively feeding and the conditions are prime. This early start isn't just about beating the crowds – it's about timing your trip when these massive predators are most aggressive. Your captain knows exactly where these Seven Gills patrol and will position you over the rocky ledges and deep channels they call home. The atmosphere on board is electric as we set heavy tackle and prepare for what could be the fight of your life. With just 4 spots available, you'll get personalized attention and plenty of chances to get your hands on the rod when a monster takes the bait. The half-day format is perfect for groups who want serious shark action without the commitment of a full-day offshore grind.
We're fishing with heavy conventional reels spooled with 80-pound test and circle hooks that can handle these powerful sharks without causing harm. The technique is all about patience and precision – we'll set multiple lines at varying depths using fresh bait that Seven Gills can't resist. You'll learn how to properly set the drag, work the rod, and maintain steady pressure during those bone-jarring runs. These sharks don't give up easy, and neither should you. The captain will coach you through every step, from the initial hookset to the final release. We practice catch and release to keep these amazing predators thriving for future generations. The gear is tournament-grade because anything less just won't cut it when you're dealing with sharks that can weigh several hundred pounds.
The Broadnose Sevengill Shark is what legends are made of. These ancient predators have been cruising our waters for millions of years, and when you see one up close, you'll understand why they've survived so long. Seven Gills can reach lengths of 10 feet or more and are built like underwater tanks. They're most active from May through September when water temperatures hit their sweet spot, and they move into shallower areas to hunt. What makes them special is their incredible strength and endurance – a hooked Seven Gill will take long, powerful runs that'll have your arms burning and your heart pounding. They're also surprisingly intelligent, often changing tactics mid-fight to try and shake the hook. The name comes from their seven gill slits, which is unusual since most modern sharks only have five. Landing one is a badge of honor among serious shark anglers, and the photos alone are worth the trip. These sharks are the perfect target for our 4-hour window because they fight hard but don't require the marathon battles that some offshore species demand.
