    (6 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore)

    Great Experience

    This is the second year in a row we’ve come from Knoxville Tennessee to Hilton head to fish with Captain Buddy’s crew. Last year was Captain Buddy and this year was Captain Jay. This group has consistently given us a great experience, from the boat & gear, knowledge of the area to find fish, and the professional and friendly demeanor of our guide each time. We didn’t have to bring anything except ourselves. We plan to use them again next year!

    Amazing experience!

    Captain Christian took us to all the great spots and we were reeling in all sorts of species within minutes after our first anchor! Wonderful Florida fishing experience I was looking for my father’s 80th birthday present!

Blacktip Shark fishing is all about fast runs, quick turns, and steady action. These Sharks are common near beaches and bays, so many trips stay close to shore. Anglers love them for light-tackle fights and exciting surface strikes.

You can target Blacktip Shark while inshore fishing or nearshore drift fishing. Spinning gear with wire leader works well. Many captains use chumming, which means scattering small bait pieces to draw Sharks in. Live or cut bait like Mullet or Menhaden is popular. Fly fishing can work when fish are active near the surface. Circle hooks help with solid hookups and safer releases.

Expect a hands-on, energetic trip with strong, dogged runs and the occasional jump. This is a great option for first-timers and families, with steady guidance from the crew. Wear sun protection and non-slip shoes. Pack snacks, water, and any motion-sickness medicine you prefer. Most boats provide tackle, bait, and safety gear, but confirm what’s included before you go.

Regulations for Sharks vary by area and can change often. Check local fishing license and permit rules before your trip. Review current seasons, harvest limits, and required gear for handling and measuring Sharks. When in doubt, ask your captain about the latest rules and best practices for ethical catch-and-release.
