Trip Overview

We'll kick things off bright and early at 7 AM, giving us prime time on the water when the sharks are most active. This trip is perfect for small groups, with space for up to three anglers (and the option to add more if you've got a bigger crew). Don't worry about lugging your own gear - we've got you covered with all the heavy-duty rods, reels, and tackle you'll need to battle these bruisers. Your captain will set you up with the right baits and techniques to get those reels screaming. Just remember to grab your Texas fishing license before you hop aboard, and you'll be all set for a day of non-stop shark action.

Shark Fishing 101

If you've never gone after sharks before, you're in for a real treat. We'll be using some serious gear - think big circle hooks, wire leaders, and chunky baits that'll tempt even the wariest sharks. Your captain will show you the ropes on how to set up your rig and handle these powerful fish safely. We'll likely be drifting or anchored up, with baits deployed at different depths to cover our bases. When that rod doubles over, hang on tight! Fighting a shark is a whole different ballgame from your average fish - it's a test of endurance that'll have your arms burning and your adrenaline pumping. Don't worry if you're new to this; your guide will be right there to coach you through the fight and help you land that toothy trophy.

What to Expect on the Water

Galveston's waters are teeming with shark activity, especially during the warmer months. We'll be targeting areas where these predators like to hunt - think drop-offs, channels, and bait-rich zones. The beauty of shark fishing is that you never know what size fish you'll hook into. It could be a scrappy 3-footer or a 200-pound behemoth that'll test your stamina and your gear. While we're primarily after sharks, don't be surprised if we tangle with other hard-fighting species like jack crevalle or bull reds. The name of the game out here is versatility, so come prepared for anything!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Blacktip Sharks are one of our most common catches, and boy, do they put up a fight! These acrobatic predators are known for their blistering runs and spectacular aerial displays. Blacktips typically range from 4 to 6 feet long, but even the smaller ones will give you a run for your money. They're most abundant in our waters from spring through fall, making them a reliable target for much of the year. Anglers love tangling with Blacktips because of their aggressive strikes and the sheer thrill of watching one of these sleek hunters clear the water as it tries to throw the hook.

Bull Sharks are the heavyweights of our local shark population, and hooking into one of these brutes is an experience you won't soon forget. These tough customers can grow to over 8 feet long and pack some serious muscle. Bulls are known for their stubborn fights - expect long, powerful runs and a fish that seems to get a second wind just when you think you've got it beat. They're here year-round but are especially active in the warmer months. What makes Bull Sharks so exciting is their sheer power and the bragging rights that come with landing one of these apex predators.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something addictive about shark fishing that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the raw power you feel when that line starts peeling off the reel, or the rush of adrenaline when you see that dorsal fin cutting through the water. Our trips are set up to give you the best shot at hooking into these ocean predators, but we also make sure you're comfortable and having a blast the whole time. Even if you're not an experienced angler, our crew will have you feeling like a pro in no time. And let's be honest - there's nothing quite like the photo op with a shark you just landed. It's the kind of fishing story your buddies back home won't believe until you show them the pictures!
