    Perfect 8 Hour Deployment Trip! • 2 adults

    What a magical majestic fishing experience. Guys were first class and offered classic true southern hospitality and work ethic. They went the extra mile and worked super hard- We had it all, beautiful sunset, stars, then Sharks and more sharks, then lightning storm, beautiful moon, insane rain, and through it all we had such a good time. Guys were super cool to my kid too. Also most importantly they were great stewards towards the awesomeness of the shark, preserving the opportunity to catch them again. great trip

    100% worth it we had a great time highly recommended

    Perfect 8 Hour Deployment Trip! • 2 adults

    Me and my buddy recently spent the night shark fishing with Carson, and even though we didn’t land a catch, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Carson is incredibly knowledgeable about shark fishing—he explained techniques, species behavior, and rig setups in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely fascinating. His passion for the sport shines through in every tip and bit of guidance he shared. Beyond his expertise, Carson is an exceptionally friendly and welcoming guide. He made the whole trip enjoyable with his patient, positive attitude and willingness to answer questions, no matter how basic. He checked in on everyone’s safety and comfort, kept the mood light, and fostered a great group dynamic that made the day feel special. If you’re looking for a shark fishing adventure and want to learn from someone who truly knows the water, Carson is the person to go with. Even without a bite, the experience was memorable, educational, and fun from start to finish. Highly recommended will be coming back!

    Great Family Trip

    8 Hour Trip – Perfect Deployment • 5 adults

    Catching a shark from the beach has been a bucket list item and we were able to complete this by reeling in a 7ft bull shark. Chris and Dex were amazing and guided us through everything and were a pleasure to visit with during the downtime. I would recommend to anyone looking for knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides.

    Reported catch:
    Bull Shark

    8' Lemon shark!

    8 Hour Trip – Perfect Deployment • 8 adults • 1 child

    The tent and chairs made it nice for the family. My father in law is on oxygen. Nothing was a problem for these young men. We were treated like part of the family. From the 10 year old to the 70 year old out the 9 of us we all had a great time. Thanks.
