  The Best Fishing Trip I've EVER Done

  4 timers Hajfiskeri - 19:00 den September 7, 2026 • 2 voksne • 1 barn

  I have purchased my fair share of fishing trips. I have to say, without a doubt, this was the best one I have EVER been on. We booked for a Sunday, but I received a call that afternoon that conditions were not necessarily the best and that we would have better chances the following night. He could have just kept the booking and taken our money, but he didn't. We rescheduled for the next evening. Very honest guy. He gave us easy to follow directions to the beach parking and then sent us a map of how to locate him and his crew. It was very easy. We brought snacks and drinks and that was all we needed. We met at the Destin East Jetty. He had a chair for each of us and poles were in the ground when we arrived. We walked up right at start time. He was fully prepared with bait and began kayaking out immediately. He was great at explaining things to my 11 year old son and teaching him how to be a shark fisherman. He had four huge heavy rods. We didn't even have all of the bait out yet when we got our first hit. He ran over, set the hook, and got my boy to reeling immediately. It was great! A few minutes later, we got our second shark....this time a blacktip! About 10 minutes before the end, the reel went crazy! MONSTER HAMMER! He immediately assured us he was staying as long as it took to get it in. it took about 70 minutes, but we wrangled it in finally. 14 feet 7 inches. My boy and I couldn't get a photo with her because of where she ended up, but he was able to get there. What a beast and what an experience! This trip fully exceeded my expectations. He worked the entire time we were out there. He did everything within his power to make sure we had a good time and had the best chance at catching fish, and that's all we can ask for. He has a camera person there to record everything and we got tons of photos and videos. The only regret I have with booking this trip is that it was the greatest trip my son has ever been on, and he will not stop begging me to take him back and do it again! We will be back! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  Awesome birthday

  5 timers Hajfiskeri Jagt den August 29, 2026

  What an awesome experience; from the poles, reels, and rigs to getting to hook, reel, and hold in our hands, 2 sharks. One of which was a 10’ Lemon, just may be his personal best for that species. Ricardo is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. He understands the different species with their travel paths and why they travel in such a way. He matches that with the moon phase and tide chart to give you the best possible outcome. The compassion comes from his understanding that these are living creatures, and are to be respected and treated humanely. It showed when our two sharks were caught. I will be booking again. His Instagram page is full of catches!

  So much fun

  5 Timers Tur – Hajfiskeri Pursuit den August 31, 2026 • 3 voksne

  Ricardo worked so hard to give us a great experience, and that’s exactly what we had. He was very knowledgeable about fishing and knew how to read the conditions for the trip. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and really wants his clients to have a good time. I would recommend him and fishing this way on the beach over any boat. This was such a fun and unique thing to do, and it is something we will remember forever.

  Great Trip

  5hr Shark Fishing Pursuit den June 10, 2026 • 3 voksne • 1 barn

  Ricardo and his team did a great job. He is patient, knowledgeable, and clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to shore shark fishing. He brought excellent bait and top-notch gear, and he made all 10 of us feel comfortable throughout the trip. He went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great experience. If you're looking for a chance to catch a monster shark from the beach, I highly recommend booking a trip with Ricardo. He is passionate about what he does, and I have no doubt he will become a star in the shore shark fishing world. Thanks again for an unforgettable trip!

  Best shark fishing experience from shore!

  5hr Shark Fishing Pursuit den June 8, 2026 • 3 voksne • 1 barn

  My family and I traveled to Destin for our first time together and chose Ricardo as our guide to help us with our very first ever shark fishing experience. He was very social, friendly, knowledgeable and overall very helpful making the entire experience comfortable and we really had a great time. He has a huge passion for shark fishing and you can definitely tell. He brought all the bait, poles, and gear that you’d need and had it completely set up when we arrived. Ricardo had 5 different poles set up and used bait such as sheep head fish and stingrays to catch a great variety of sharks. Ricardo also had chairs set up as well making it easier on everyone and for comfort while we stayed at the beach during our 5 hour experience. We were able to catch a Bull shark and a Blacktip shark during our visit. Ricardo will show you how to do the entire process but will also do it for you if needed. Everyone helped one another throughout the entire experience with no stress and no worries he will make certain that you and your family stay safe and have fun! I highly recommend booking with him and trusting him as your guide. He is most definitely in great shape and can handle these sharks with no issues. We were extremely impressed and we will be back again one day!
