There's something special about hunting sharks after the sun goes down – and Captain George with Reel Naughty Sportfishing knows exactly how to make it happen. This 4-hour evening charter departs at 7:00 PM and runs from May 1st through July 10th, giving you prime access to Ocean City's top-rated shark fishing when these apex predators are most active. You'll beat the heat, enjoy cooler evening temperatures, and experience the rush of battling powerful sharks under a canopy of stars. With all tackle, lures, and live bait included, plus a seasoned crew handling the details, you can focus purely on the fishing and soak up this world-class experience.
Your evening starts with a 7:00 PM departure from Ocean City's marina, where Captain George and his crew will have everything prepped and ready. The boat accommodates up to 6 anglers, making it perfect for families, friend groups, or anyone wanting a more intimate fishing experience without the crowds. As daylight fades, you'll head to productive shark grounds where the crew will set you up with the right tackle and fresh bait. The cooler evening air makes for comfortable fishing conditions, and there's something genuinely exciting about working these waters as darkness settles in. Your captain knows these local waters like the back of his hand and will position you over the best structure and current breaks where sharks patrol for their next meal. The 4-hour timeframe gives you solid fishing time without feeling rushed, and the crew stays busy keeping lines baited, helping with hookups, and making sure everyone gets their shot at these powerful predators.
Shark fishing requires the right approach, and this crew has it dialed in. You'll fish with heavy conventional reels spooled with strong line, paired with sturdy rods built to handle the torque and power these fish deliver. The terminal tackle includes heavy-duty circle hooks, wire leaders, and sinkers designed to get your bait down where sharks are cruising. Live bait is the name of the game here – fresh bunker, mackerel, and other oily fish that sharks can't resist. The crew will handle rigging your lines with the proper setup, adjusting weights based on current and depth, and making sure your drag is set correctly for the fight ahead. Techniques focus on bottom fishing and drift fishing, letting natural currents carry your bait through productive water. When a shark picks up your offering, you'll feel that unmistakable weight and power as the fish loads up the rod. The crew coaches you through the fight, helping with proper technique to land your fish safely and efficiently. All gear is included, so whether you're new to shark fishing or a seasoned angler, you'll have everything needed for success.

The Shortfin Mako Shark is the crown jewel of Ocean City's evening shark scene, and for good reason. These sleek predators are built for speed and power, capable of reaching 45 mph in short bursts and making spectacular jumps when hooked. Makos typically range from 50 to 200 pounds in these waters, though larger specimens patrol the deeper edges. They're most active during low-light periods, making evening trips prime time for encounters. What makes mako fishing so addictive is their fighting style – they'll make blistering runs, leap clear of the water, and test every ounce of your tackle and technique. The May through July timeframe coincides perfectly with their seasonal movement patterns as they follow baitfish north along the coast. Ocean City's continental shelf structure and temperature breaks create ideal mako habitat, with good numbers of fish moving through during this window. The cooler evening temperatures also make the fight more comfortable for anglers, as you won't be battling both the fish and the summer heat. Makos are also excellent table fare if you choose to keep your catch, with firm white meat that's prized by seafood lovers. The combination of incredible fights, acrobatic displays, and the challenge of outsmarting one of the ocean's most efficient predators keeps anglers coming back for more.
Evening shark fishing represents some of Ocean City's best angling opportunities, and Captain George's proven track record speaks for itself. The May 1st through July 10th season window is relatively short, and prime evening slots fill up fast with both locals and visiting anglers. With all tackle, bait, and expertise included, plus a captain who knows how to put you on fish, this charter delivers serious value for shark fishing enthusiasts. The 6-angler capacity creates a more personal experience than larger boats, ensuring you get plenty of hands-on time and individual attention from the crew. Keep in mind that deposits are non-refundable, and additional fuel surcharges may apply if marina fuel exceeds $4 per gallon – it's worth contacting Captain George directly for current pricing and availability. Whether you're targeting your first shark or adding to an already impressive list, this evening charter offers the perfect combination of productive fishing, comfortable conditions, and professional guidance. Don't wait too long to secure your dates – the best shark fishing of the season won't last forever.
