Half Day
Great experience and amazing time! Crazy night to catch a 10-11 ft hammer head. Everything was accommodated!
- 5.0/5(Half Day Trip (AM))
Awesome fishing trip!
Overall it was a great experience. there were a few hiccups early on but Captain Bart more than made up for it. He helped my son with all aspects of fishing and by the end of the trip he was baiting his own line. We caught more fish than we could count including 3 different types of sharks! We also left with some filets to have for lunch. Would highly recommend Captain Bart for your next fishing charter.

About Bonnethead Shark fishing
Bonnethead Shark fishing is all about light tackle action in calm, inshore waters. The Bonnethead is the smallest Hammerhead and a favorite for new anglers and families. It fights hard for its size, makes quick runs, and often cruises shallow flats where you can see the strike.
You can target Bonnetheads while inshore fishing around bays, estuaries, channels, and grassy flats. Spinning gear with 10–20 lb line works well. Many anglers use small blue crab, shrimp, or cut bait. Chumming is not always needed because these Sharks often feed near the surface. Fly fishing can be great on clear, shallow flats when fish are visible.
Expect steady bites, short but spirited runs, and fun sight-fishing when the water is clear. Most fish measure a couple of feet, so they are perfect for light tackle. This trip suits first-timers, kids, and anyone who wants action without a long boat ride. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses for spotting fish, a hat, and quick-dry clothing. Your captain will advise on tackle and safe handling, including quick photos and gentle release when required or preferred.
Before you go, check local rules. Confirm fishing license and permit needs, seasons, and harvest limits. Regulations can change by area, so review them close to your trip date.
