    Great fishing and great guide

    Captain David was great teaching us the ropes. Most of us had never deep sea fishes before. Caught more than 20 in total, 14 right kind to keep. If you have more experience, pretty sure you would have caught more because all the spots David took us to were great. We even hooked a lemon shark!

About Lemon Shark fishing

Size
8 to 10ft
Food Value
Average
Game Quality
Excellent

Lemon Shark fishing is all about close-quarters action in shallow coastal water. These stocky Sharks are powerful, steady fighters that test your arms and tackle. Anglers target them for strong runs, exciting sight shots, and great photos before release.

You can catch Lemon Sharks while inshore fishing around bays, flats, channels, and mangroves. Common tactics include chumming, which spreads a scented mix to draw fish in, and sight casting baits to cruising Sharks. Guides often use heavy spinning or conventional gear, wire leaders to prevent bite-offs, and circle hooks, which are designed to hook in the corner of the mouth. Natural bait like Mackerel or Bonito works well, and fly fishing can be effective when fish cruise clear shallows.

Expect a controlled, hard pull rather than blistering speed. Fights are close to the boat and perfect for anglers who enjoy steady pressure battles. This suits first-timers, families, and seasoned Shark fans alike. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses for spotting fish, and non-slip shoes. Listen to your crew on safe handling and quick release for the fish’s health. Night fishing can also be productive when Sharks feed more actively.

Regulations for Sharks change by location and season. Many areas emphasize catch and release for Lemon Sharks and may have strict rules on harvest. Always check local fishing license and permit needs, along with current season, gear, and harvest regulations before your trip. Your captain will explain the latest rules and best practices on the day.
