Make the most of your time along any beach in Florida and go shark fishing with Run For The Reels. With Captain Carson, you'll benefit from over a decade of knowledge and experience.
These waters are known for Tiger Shark, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Lemon Shark, Mako Shark, Nurse Shark, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. During the trip, you will be fishing with heavy tackle, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Carson welcomes children, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Your guides run trips off beaches and jetties along anywhere on the Florida Coast. They will provide all the necessary rods and reels. Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before starting your adventure, you'll need to buy a local saltwater fishing license for everyone in your group and complete the Shark smart fishing course (Free). This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Run For The Reels.

This was my second time out with Run for the Reels and everything worked out perfectly. I brought some friends that had never been shark fishing before and the crew did great explaining everything and making sure everyone was comfortable. Also everything was set up, professional… chairs, tent, rods and rigs, they even had a few lines already in the water at the start time of our charter. Our crew for this trip was Ridge and Anthony and they both were great, knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional. You can tell these guys are passionate about what they do and we will be coming back! Recommend to anyone interested in relaxing on the beach with the opportunity to catch some amazing creatures!
What a magical majestic fishing experience. Guys were first class and offered classic true southern hospitality and work ethic. They went the extra mile and worked super hard- We had it all, beautiful sunset, stars, then Sharks and more sharks, then lightning storm, beautiful moon, insane rain, and through it all we had such a good time. Guys were super cool to my kid too. Also most importantly they were great stewards towards the awesomeness of the shark, preserving the opportunity to catch them again. great trip
Me and my buddy recently spent the night shark fishing with Carson, and even though we didn’t land a catch, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Carson is incredibly knowledgeable about shark fishing—he explained techniques, species behavior, and rig setups in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely fascinating. His passion for the sport shines through in every tip and bit of guidance he shared. Beyond his expertise, Carson is an exceptionally friendly and welcoming guide. He made the whole trip enjoyable with his patient, positive attitude and willingness to answer questions, no matter how basic. He checked in on everyone’s safety and comfort, kept the mood light, and fostered a great group dynamic that made the day feel special. If you’re looking for a shark fishing adventure and want to learn from someone who truly knows the water, Carson is the person to go with. Even without a bite, the experience was memorable, educational, and fun from start to finish. Highly recommended will be coming back!
Great guys! Very nice setup! We caught a good bull shark it took several of us to reel him in! The kids had a blast.
