You'll learn the art of land-based shark fishing, from reading the surf to properly setting the hook when a big one strikes. Be prepared for some serious battles as you work to bring in powerful sharks like bulls, tigers, and lemons. The adrenaline rush when you feel that first big run is unbeatable!

Gearing Up for Giants

We use only top-of-the-line equipment designed to handle the biggest sharks cruising our waters. Think heavy-duty surf rods, oversized reels spooled with hundreds of yards of line, and wire leaders that can withstand razor-sharp teeth. Our arsenal includes kayaks for paddling out baits and setting up a proper spread to attract the big boys. You'll also learn how to use specialized tools like sand spikes, bait deployment systems, and shark-safe release gear. Safety is always our top priority, so we'll go over proper handling techniques to ensure both you and the sharks stay protected during the excitement.

Top Catches This Season

The Florida Panhandle is a shark fishing paradise, offering consistent action year-round. In recent months, we've had customers land some absolute monsters. Multiple bull sharks in the 7-8 foot range have been brought to shore, along with a couple of tigers pushing 10 feet! Lemon sharks in the 6-7 foot class are fairly common, and we even had one angler hook into a massive 12-foot hammerhead (though that one got away after an epic 2-hour fight). The diversity of species you can encounter here is incredible.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Bonnethead Shark: Don't let their smaller size fool you - these feisty sharks put up an impressive fight for their size. Typically 3-4 feet long, bonnetheads are known for their uniquely shaped heads and acrobatic jumps when hooked. They're often found cruising the shallows and make for great action when the bigger sharks are playing hard to get. Bonnetheads are most active in the warmer months and are a blast to catch on lighter tackle.

Tiger Shark: The apex predator of the Panhandle, tiger sharks are the prize catch for many land-based shark anglers. These massive sharks can reach lengths of 15 feet or more and are known for their distinctive striped pattern. Tigers are opportunistic feeders, which makes them great targets for our fishing techniques. They're most common in the summer and fall months when water temperatures are warmest. Landing a tiger shark is a true test of an angler's skill and endurance - be prepared for long, intense battles that can last hours!

Lemon Shark: With their yellowish-brown coloration, lemon sharks are easily recognizable and a favorite among our customers. They typically range from 6-9 feet in length and are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Lemon sharks are often found in shallower coastal waters, making them ideal targets for land-based fishing. They're most active in the spring and summer months. What makes lemon sharks so exciting is their tendency to travel in groups, so hooking one often leads to multiple catches!

Bull Shark: Pound for pound, bull sharks might be the strongest fighters in the shark world. These stocky, aggressive predators are known for their powerful bodies and relentless stamina. Bulls typically range from 7-11 feet in length and can weigh over 500 pounds. They're year-round residents in the Panhandle but are especially active in the late spring and summer. Bull sharks are famous for their ability to survive in both saltwater and freshwater, often venturing far up coastal rivers. When you hook into a bull shark, be ready for an all-out war - these guys don't give up easily!
