Ready to tangle with some serious predators? This 5-hour private shark fishing trip with Jus Chillin Charters puts you face-to-face with the ocean's apex hunters. At $459 for up to 6 anglers, you're getting premium shark fishing action during peak season from September through April. We're talking about targeting legitimate bruisers here – Blacktip, Bonnethead, and Bull Sharks that'll test your tackle and your nerve. Everything's included: rods, reels, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses, so you can focus on what matters most – putting sharks in the boat.
This isn't your typical inshore fishing trip. We run a serious shark operation using heavy tackle and proven techniques that consistently produce results. The boat heads out to productive shark grounds where we set up a proper chum slick and deploy multiple lines with circle hooks and wire leaders. You'll be fishing with stout rods rated for 50-80 pound class fish, paired with high-capacity reels loaded with heavy braid. The crew knows these waters and the seasonal patterns that bring sharks into feeding mode. September through April is prime time when water temperatures and baitfish movements create ideal conditions. The 5-hour window gives us plenty of time to locate active fish and work different spots if needed. Expect periods of setting up and waiting mixed with bursts of intense action when sharks move in to feed.
We run a big bait, big fish philosophy that consistently produces trophy-class sharks. The standard rig features 12/0 to 16/0 circle hooks on 6-foot wire leaders connected to 100-pound mono shock leaders. Fresh cut bait like bonito, mackerel, and bluefish chunks get sharks fired up, while whole baits target the bigger specimens. We deploy a strategic spread with different baits at varying depths – some on the bottom, others suspended in mid-water column. The chum operation is key to drawing sharks from distance, creating a scent trail that pulls them into our zone. All rods stay in heavy-duty rod holders with drags set appropriately for the targeted species. When a shark takes the bait, the crew talks you through the fight, managing the boat position and coaching your technique to maximize your success rate.
Blacktip Sharks are the speed demons of this fishery, typically running 20-40 pounds with occasional specimens pushing 50+ pounds. These aggressive feeders hit baits hard and immediately launch into spectacular aerial displays, jumping multiple times during the fight. Peak season runs October through March when they school up in large numbers. What makes Blacktips special is their combination of size and athleticism – they're big enough to bend your rod in half but athletic enough to put on a show that'll have you grinning for weeks.
Bonnethead Sharks might be the smallest of our target species at 2-8 pounds, but they're scrappy fighters that surprise anglers with their power-to-weight ratio. These unique hammerhead relatives are abundant during fall and winter months, often showing up in schools when conditions align. They're perfect for getting kids or new anglers into shark fishing since they're manageable size-wise but still deliver that authentic shark fishing experience. Their distinctive shovel-shaped heads make them instantly recognizable and always generate excitement when they come boatside.
Bull Sharks represent the apex predator experience every serious angler craves. These thick-bodied bruisers range from 50-200+ pounds and possess the raw power to test both your tackle and your endurance. Bulls are ambush predators that hit baits with bone-jarring force, then use their incredible strength to make long, powerful runs that'll have your drag screaming. Winter months produce the best Bull Shark action when larger specimens move into our area following bait schools. Landing a legitimate Bull Shark is a badge of honor that separates casual anglers from serious shark hunters.

Hit the open water aboard our 2018 Bayliner 19-foot center console, your perfect platform for targeting serious sharks during this 5-hour adventure. This fishing machine seats up to 6 anglers comfortably and cuts through the waves with a reliable 115HP Mercury engine, reaching speeds up to 50 knots to get you to the prime shark grounds quickly. The boat's center console design gives everyone plenty of room to fight these powerful fish, while the GPS navigation system guides us straight to productive wreck sites where big sharks patrol. Our fish finder technology helps locate schools of baitfish that attract hungry predators lurking below. When you hook into a bull shark or blacktip, you'll appreciate having solid deck space to battle these fish properly. The onboard facilities include a toilet for longer trips, so you can stay focused on fishing without worrying about comfort. Whether you're casting live bait around structure or bottom fishing near wrecks, this Bayliner delivers the stability and performance serious shark anglers demand for pursuing these apex predators.
Carcharhinus LimbatusBlacktips are the acrobats of the shark world, famous for those distinctive black-tipped fins and their habit of launching clean out of the water when hooked. These sleek, streamlined sharks typically run 4-5 feet but can reach up to 9 feet. You'll find them patrolling artificial reefs and structure in 30-100 feet of water, hunting mackerel, herring, and sardines. They're most active during our cooler months when baitfish are thick. What makes them special is their explosive jumps – they can rocket 20+ feet in the air, spinning and thrashing. Guests love the aerial show and their spirited fight. They're social feeders, so where there's one, there's usually more. Best tip: use oily baits like fresh sardines or mackerel, and get your chum working to draw them in.
Sphyrna TiburoBonnetheads are the smallest hammerheads you'll see, with that distinctive shovel-shaped head that sets them apart. These greyish-brown sharks typically run 3-4 feet and are much more approachable than their bigger cousins – shy by nature and completely harmless to people. You'll find them cruising shallow bays, estuaries, and near-shore waters where they hunt crabs and small fish. They school up in groups of 10-15, especially during our fall and winter season when they migrate south for warmer water. What guests enjoy is their spunky fight despite their size – they're tough little scrapper that'll give you a solid battle on lighter tackle. My go-to trick is cutting blue crab in half and hooking it through a leg – bonnetheads can't resist fresh crab.
Carcharhinus LeucasBull sharks are the heavy hitters you'll encounter on our trips – thick, powerful fish that average 8-12 feet and can push 300 pounds. These gray-topped predators are built like tanks with broad, triangular teeth that mean business. What makes them special is their ability to handle both salt and freshwater, so they cruise shallow coastal areas and even venture up rivers. Our September through April season is prime time when they're most active in warmer waters. Guests love the raw power these fish bring – once hooked, you're in for a serious battle. They'll take big baits hard and fight dirty. Pro tip: fresh eel works magic due to its high oil content and tough skin that stays on the hook.
