Wreckless Surf Fishing Outfitters is here to get you the fish of a lifetime. Get seasick? No Worries! This is land-based Shark Fishing.

Here you'll have access to the beautiful beach Gulf of Mexico. While you wait for 'Jaws' your guide will have several rods out for Pompano, Whiting, Drum, and other fish for you to reel in. The name of the game around here is heavy tackle fishing, which is what you'll be doing on the day of your trip. Astro and crew will provide rods and reels, as well as lures and live bait.

The fish in these waters include Tiger Shark, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Lemon Shark, Nurse Shark, and more. Note that Captain Astro practices catch-and-release for shark species. most sharks in Florida are protected, so you won't be taking any sharks home with you after the trip. As many as 6 people can join these excursions. You'll make your way to the fishing grounds on foot, so be sure to dress for current weather conditions and bring only as much as you can carry. Expect to get in touch with Astro before the trip so you know where to meet and how to get there.

Everyone in your group should buy a local fishing license ahead of time. Also, a completed Shark-Smart Fishing Educational Course and the Shore-Based Shark Fishing Permit are necessary. (Both of these are free, but are required by the state of Florida for anyone age 16 or older.) You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply.

Plan to dress in layers and appropriate footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen, bottled water, and sunglasses, rain or shine. This is a kid-friendly experience, so feel free to bring the whole family along and pack any snacks or extra clothing they need.

Fishing in Boca Grande is just a click away, with Wreckless Surf Fishing Outfitters!

Outstanding fishing trip
7 Hour Trip – Land Based Shark on December 20, 20234 adults

We decided to book with Wreckless December 2023 since this is our first time to the area. We are avid surf fishermen and wanted to learn how to shark fish from an expert and man, we were not disappointed!! Astro was all set up when we arrived at the beach, with drinks and camp chairs. His first mate had trouble getting there that day, so he did all the baiting and kayaking of baits out past the sandbars to get to where the big ones are. Even in the cold water! Each of us hooked and landed a 6-7ft sandbar shark. Biggest fish of our lives. Astro took care to protect the amazing animals and released them back to fight another day. I would highly recommend Wreckless if you aren’t a fan of boats or want to get to know the area.

Shark Fishing with Astro
7 Hour Trip – Land Based Shark on August 18, 2023

My husband, son Jackson and myself went shark fishing with Astro and his team. It was a blast going out learning how they do everything. They had glow sticks for the fishing poles, they kayaked out one of the fishing pole lines for more yards and even brought corn hole and hammocks for the evening. They had about 6-8 poles in the water and we caught an awesome huge shark and a Goliath Grouper off the shore. They were very accommodating with teaching my son (8) how they did everything, let him cut up some bait and put some shark bait (fish) on the line. He even was reeling in a shark. The sunset was beautiful, playing corn hole with my son was fun. They made the trip very eventful. Even though we were shark fishing catching the giant Goliath Grouper was the highlight of the evening as well. I had never caught such an amazing fish off the shoreline. We caught an awesome shark that made my arms very sore from reeling in but it was an awesome trip. We look forward to going again shark fishing with Astro and his team, they made it fun and we learned a lot about it all.

7 Hour Trip – Land Based Shark on January 8, 2023

This was my first time going fishing for sharks. We got to our spot and start setting up. At that point Astro explained the what type of rods, reals, line, hooks, weights, and bait he uses to catch sharks from the shore. Shortly after that he was paddling the bait out. He set 3 baits out. It took a little while to get a bite but when we did it was on! Astro and his crew help get the real adjusted to be the right drag. The fight was hard but nothing less than awesome. Fighting a shark from shore gave me even more respect for the power they have. The fight lasted 20 -25 minutes. When the shark came close to shore the crew was fast to identify the shark to make sure we followed all regulations to the catch and release process. I got to help release the shark, what a thrill. I will definitely be fishing with Astro again in the future.

Capt. Astro runs trips out of Boca Grande. These waters are known for different species of Sharks and he will show you how to catch them from the beach. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
