Night shark fishing on May 29, 2025
me and a buddy who are used to bass fishing in east Tn decided to do the night shark fishing charter and had an absolute blast. We caught about 5 or 6 sharks with the biggest one being 7ft which put up a hell of a fight and was very fun. Even got to take one home and grill it which was absolutely delicious. Captain Pica was an awesome dude, we had some awesome conversations and he set us up with everything we needed. We had an overall awesome time 10/10 worth the money and would recommend

Meet your captain
Naples, Florida, United States
I started running charters in the 1980s. The feeling it gave me showing people all our area has to offer was addictive, and knowing I could provide anglers with memories they would have for a lifetime got me hooked! The look on someone’s face after catching their first Tarpon or Permit is priceless!
