Sharks — and a Mixed Bag of Game Fish
The charter targets sharks but regularly produces other game species, including tarpon, cobia, redfish, Spanish mackerel, sea trout, sheepshead, triple tail, and jack crevalle — a rolling list that keeps every trip unpredictable and exciting.
Top-line Tackle and Onboard Essentials
The operator supplies premium rods, reels and tackle along with ice, bait, first aid, water and a cooler for drinks; fish are cleaned after the trip and can be professionally mounted if desired.
What to Expect Through the Year
Seasonal expectations vary: winter brings sheepshead, redfish and sea trout; spring adds sharks and cobia (May); summer opens tarpon, triple tail, mackerel and more; fall commonly yields redfish, sea trout and flounder.
