Shore Fishing
Fivehour nighttime shore fishing targeting multiple shark speciesStarts at sunset, runs baits through the night hoursSmall group experience with maximum three guest capacity
Picture this: the sun's setting over Florida's coastline, painting the sky in brilliant oranges and reds, and you're getting ready for one of the most adrenaline-pumping fishing experiences the state has to offer. This 5-hour shore-based shark fishing trip starts at 8 PM and runs deep into the night, when these apex predators are most active and hungry. You'll be targeting some of Florida's most sought-after shark species right from the beach, using heavy tackle and proven techniques that have been putting anglers onto monster fish for years. With spots for just 3 anglers, this isn't your typical crowded charter experience – it's an intimate night hunt for some of the ocean's most powerful predators.
This shore-based shark fishing adventure kicks off right as the day anglers are packing up and heading home. That's when the real action begins. You'll be fishing from prime beach locations along Florida's coast, where deep water runs close to shore and creates perfect hunting grounds for big sharks. The guide will have you set up with multiple heavy rods, each rigged with circle hooks and wire leaders designed to handle whatever decides to take your bait. As darkness settles in, you'll deploy baits at various distances from the beach, creating a spread that covers different depth zones where sharks patrol. The night fishing element isn't just for show – sharks are naturally more active after dark, and your chances of hooking into something serious increase dramatically once the sun goes down. You'll spend the evening watching rod tips, listening for screaming reels, and getting ready to battle fish that can easily stretch 6, 7, or even 8 feet long.
Shore shark fishing requires serious tackle, and this trip comes equipped with everything you need to handle Florida's biggest predators. You'll be fishing with heavy conventional reels spooled with 50-80 pound test line, mounted on stout rods that can handle the punishment these fish dish out. The terminal tackle setup includes heavy wire leaders – essential when you're dealing with fish that have mouths full of razor-sharp teeth. Circle hooks are the standard here, designed to hook fish in the corner of the mouth for better survival rates and easier releases. Baits typically include fresh bonito, mackerel, or other oily fish that create a strong scent trail in the water. The guide will set up a kayak operation to get baits out beyond the surf zone, placing them in 15-30 feet of water where sharks cruise the drop-offs and structure. Between the multiple rods and strategic bait placement, you'll have lines covering prime real estate that these predators can't resist.
"BUYER BEWARE! My wife and I had been trying to cancel and refund our trip for well over the last month with no luck. We paid in full months in advance, but when circumstances out of our control arose and could no longer make the trip, we tried to cancel. (well over a month out) My wife called and was told they dont give refunds. I have tried getting a response via email and have got no reply, NOTHING from anyone. I cant speak to the quality of fishing/guiding, but if you want to book a trip, dont pay up front. If you have to cancel, even WELL in advance, they keep EVERYTHING not just the deposit. Pick literally anybody else." - Aaron Dehart
Tiger Sharks are the holy grail of Florida shore fishing, and for good reason. These massive predators can reach lengths of 10-14 feet and are known for their aggressive nature and willingness to take just about any bait you put in front of them. Tigers are most active during the warmer months from May through October, when water temperatures climb and baitfish populations are at their peak. What makes tiger sharks so special is their fearless attitude – they'll hit baits in surprisingly shallow water and put up fights that can last 45 minutes or more. Their distinctive stripes and broad head make them unmistakable, and landing one from shore is considered a major achievement among serious shark anglers.
Lemon Sharks offer a different kind of excitement, known more for their speed and agility than raw power. These golden-colored sharks typically run 6-8 feet from shore and are incredibly common along Florida's coast year-round. What makes lemons special is their predictable behavior – they patrol the same areas consistently, making them reliable targets when other species are being finicky. They're also one of the most photogenic sharks you'll encounter, with their bright yellow coloration really popping under camera lights. Lemons are perfect for anglers new to shark fishing, as they fight hard but are generally more manageable than their larger cousins.
Bull Sharks bring the raw power that serious anglers crave. These thick-bodied predators are pound-for-pound some of the strongest fish swimming in Florida waters, with the ability to make blistering runs that can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds. Bulls are year-round residents but peak during summer months when they move into shallow water to feed and reproduce. What sets bull sharks apart is their aggressive nature and willingness to fight right up to the beach – they don't give up easy, and landing one requires serious skill and heavy tackle. Their broad shoulders and muscular build make them incredibly powerful, and a 7-foot bull can easily outfight sharks that are 2-3 feet longer.
Florida's shark fishing scene doesn't get much better than this 5-hour night trip. With only 3 spots available, you're guaranteed personalized attention and prime positioning for the best action. The combination of prime beach locations, proven techniques, and peak feeding times creates the perfect storm for landing the shark of a lifetime. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to add new species to your list or someone ready to experience the rush of battling apex predators from shore, this trip delivers the goods.
Carcharhinus LeucasBulls are the bruisers of our night trips - thick, powerful sharks that pack serious attitude into an 8-12 foot frame. These gray torpedoes are unique because they can handle both salt and freshwater, so you'll find them everywhere from deep channels to surprisingly shallow coastal waters. Summer months are prime time here in Florida, especially when water temps climb above 75 degrees. What guests love about bulls is their raw power and unpredictable fight - they'll charge straight at the boat or make blistering runs without warning. Their broad, jagged teeth mean they're not picky eaters either. The real game-changer for bulls is fresh eel - its high oil content and tough skin make it irresistible bait that stays on the hook through their aggressive strikes. Just make sure your drag is set right because these fish don't give up easy.
Negaprion BrevirostrisLemon sharks are one of Florida's most reliable night fighters. These golden-colored sharks typically measure 8-10 feet and weigh around 200 pounds, making them perfect for anglers wanting a strong fight without the massive size of a tiger. They love shallow sandy flats and mangrove edges, often moving into surprisingly shallow water after dark to hunt crabs and small fish. Spring through fall are prime months, especially on warmer nights when they're most active. What makes lemons special is their aggressive nature once hooked - they'll make long runs and jump occasionally, putting on a real show. They also tend to travel in loose groups, so landing one often means more action is coming. The key with lemons is using smaller baits like pilchards or cut mullet on circle hooks - they can be picky feeders compared to other shark species.
Galeocerdo CuvierThese apex predators are what nighttime shark fishing is all about. Tigers typically run 11-14 feet and can push 1,400 pounds, with the big females reaching even larger sizes. They're named for those distinctive dark stripes that fade as they age. You'll find them cruising Florida's coastal waters year-round, but they really turn on during warmer months when they follow the warm currents closer to shore. Tigers hunt at night, which makes our evening trips perfect timing. They're built like tanks and fight with incredible power - once hooked, you're in for a battle that'll test your gear and endurance. My go-to trick? Fresh mackerel or tuna chunks work great, but the real secret is being patient with your drag settings - these fish have serious staying power.
