shark fishing
6 Hour – Shark (Landbased) (AM) on September 26, 20252 adults3 children

I met up with Eli early on a friday morning, the target for the day was sharks. We went out onto the beach he gave me a run down of the best time the sharks should be coming by and we set up and waited. Almost immediately when the “window” opened up we landed a 9’ lemon shark. I was impressed with Eli’s knowledge of the local waters. I ended up booking a second day with him and chatching another big shark. Eli is super friendly, he even took my kids out on the kayak to drop the bait. 10/10 if your looking for a fishing guide who gives a shit and can get you put on some fish, then book with my new lowcountry friend Eli!

Reported catch:
Lemon Shark
Blacktip Shark

Great Day with The Salty Savage Experience
6 Hour – Shark (Landbased) (AM) on July 25, 20256 adults

We had the best day with Eli, The Salty Savage Experience! We caught 3 monster sharks including a bull! My teenage son had a blast! The beach is beautiful and we felt like we had it all to ourselves. Better experience than being stuck on a boat and better interactions with the sea life! Eli hustles and is an expert at reeling g in the big sharks! Planning on trying the night fishing excursion next year! Don’t miss out! (Bathrooms available on location)

7 sharks, 3 different species, and an amazing experience!!
6 Hour Trip – Shark (Landbased) on July 23, 20242 adults

If you have thought of going shark fishing, book with the Salty Savage Experience!! Eli and his team are set up to give you the best experience. They brought the best baits and operated as a well oiled machine. They know the area, the tides and the sharks. We were set up and hooked up quickly. The time went by so fast. We caught black tips, a fine tooth, & 2 lemons the largest being 8.5 feet! I would highly recommend this trip and plan to come back soon!

Reported catch:
