Looking for a fishing adventure that'll get your heart pumping? Our 5-hour shark fishing trip out of Brunswick puts you face-to-face with some of Georgia's most powerful predators. This isn't your typical inshore fishing – we're talking about real apex hunters that'll test every bit of your angling skills. With just 2 spots available per trip, you get personalized attention from our experienced captain who knows exactly where these sharks like to prowl. Brunswick's waters are prime territory for multiple shark species, and we've got the local knowledge to put you on the fish when they're feeding.
This top-rated charter takes you into the deeper waters off Brunswick where the big sharks hunt. We'll start early to make the most of prime feeding times, heading out to proven spots where blacktip, lemon, and bull sharks are actively patrolling. The boat's equipped with heavy-duty tackle designed specifically for these powerful fish – we're talking about animals that can weigh hundreds of pounds and fight like nothing else in Georgia waters. You'll learn proper shark fishing techniques, from setting up the right bait presentations to handling these incredible fish safely. The small group size means you get hands-on coaching throughout the trip, whether you're a seasoned angler or new to shark fishing. Don't worry about bringing lunch – this is a half-day trip that gets you back to shore with plenty of time to grab a meal and share your stories.
Shark fishing requires specialized gear and techniques that are completely different from typical inshore fishing. We use heavy conventional reels spooled with high-test line, paired with rods that can handle the incredible power these fish deliver. The terminal tackle includes wire leaders – essential when dealing with sharks' razor-sharp teeth – and circle hooks that ensure safe catch and release practices. We'll show you how to present cut bait and whole fish in ways that trigger aggressive strikes from cruising sharks. The key is understanding how sharks hunt and feed in these Georgia waters. We use a combination of chumming and strategic bait placement to draw them in close to the boat. You'll learn how to read your rod tip, recognize when a shark is investigating your bait, and when to set the hook for maximum success.

Blacktip sharks are the speed demons of Brunswick waters, known for their acrobatic fights and lightning-fast runs. These sharks typically range from 3 to 6 feet and are most active during warmer months when they move into shallower waters to feed. What makes blacktips so exciting is their tendency to jump completely out of the water during the fight – a sight that'll have you reaching for your camera. They're aggressive feeders and respond well to fresh cut bait, making them a customer favorite for anglers wanting consistent action.
Lemon sharks bring a different kind of challenge to your Brunswick fishing adventure. These golden-colored predators are built for power rather than speed, often reaching 8 feet or more in local waters. They're bottom-oriented hunters with incredible strength that'll test your tackle and technique. Lemons are year-round residents in Georgia's coastal waters, but they're most cooperative during spring and fall when water temperatures are optimal. Their fighting style is all about bulldogging runs and using their weight against you – pure muscle that makes every battle memorable.
Bull sharks are the ultimate prize for serious shark anglers in Brunswick. These thick-bodied powerhouses are known for their aggressive nature and incredible strength – pound for pound, they're among the strongest fish you can hook in Georgia waters. Bulls can grow over 10 feet and are opportunistic feeders that patrol both deep and shallow areas. They're most active during summer months when baitfish are abundant. Landing a bull shark requires patience, proper technique, and respect for these apex predators. The fight is intense and sustained, often lasting 30 minutes or more with a fish that refuses to give up.

Book your spot now and get ready for some of the best shark fishing Georgia has to offer.
Carcharhinus LimbatusBlacktips are some of the most active sharks you'll encounter off Brunswick. These sleek predators average 4-5 feet but can stretch to 9 feet, easily recognized by those distinctive black-tipped fins. They love our shallow coastal waters, typically cruising 30-100 feet deep around structure and muddy bays. Spring through fall brings the best action when they're feeding heavily on mackerel, herring, and croaker. What makes them special? They jump! Blacktips will leap clean out of the water during the fight, spinning and thrashing like no other shark. They're excitable fish that travel in groups, so once you hook one, be ready for multiple hookups. My go-to trick is using fresh Atlantic croaker chunks - they go absolutely crazy for it here in Georgia waters. Heavy braided line and circle hooks are essential since these guys get pretty worked up once hooked.
Carcharhinus LeucasBulls are the heavyweight champions of our inshore waters - thick, powerful, and absolutely relentless once hooked. These bruisers average 8-10 feet and pack serious muscle, with females often topping 300 pounds. What makes bulls unique is they'll hunt everywhere from deep channels to skinny creeks, even pushing into freshwater rivers. Late spring through early fall is peak season when they move into our estuaries to feed and breed. The fight is all raw power - no fancy jumps, just bulldogging runs that'll smoke your reel. Guests love them because they're the ultimate test of angler versus fish. Bulls hit hard and don't give up easy. Here's my secret weapon: fresh eel chunks work better than anything else. The high oil content drives them crazy, and the tough skin stays on the hook through multiple hits. Fish it on a fish-finder rig in 15-40 feet near structure during moving water.
Negaprion BrevirostrisLemon sharks are crowd favorites for good reason - they're big, beautiful, and put up a serious scrap. These golden-colored bruisers typically run 6-8 feet in our Georgia waters, though 10-footers show up regularly. You'll find them prowling sandy flats and mangrove creeks in 10-50 feet of water, especially around Jekyll and St. Simons. Summer months are prime time when water temps climb above 75 degrees. What sets lemons apart is their attitude - they're curious and aggressive, making for heart-pounding close encounters. The fight is pure power with long runs and stubborn head shakes that'll test your drag. They're also one of the few sharks that actually taste great if you decide to keep one for dinner. Pro tip: fish the incoming tide around dawn or dusk using fresh stingray or big live pinfish. Set your drag light initially - lemons have soft mouths and will throw the hook if you horse them early in the fight.
