    6hr deployment with Carson

    6 Hour Trip – Deployment

    100% will come back! Went for the 6hr deployment with Carson and Lauren, cannot say enough good things! They were professional, very knowledgeable and willing to do anything in their power to get us on some sharks! The bite was slow for our trip but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Luckily the next charter was nice enough to let us share the experience with their 8’5” Bull shark. If you want to have an awesome fishing experience without the sea sickness or waking up at the crack of dawn- this is the place and these are the guys. I took my wife and it was very enjoyable for both us watching the sunset on the beach and relaxing waiting for a lurking giant Ham to bite. Thank you Carson and Lauren we will be in touch!

    Reported catch:
    Bull Shark
    Hammerhead Shark
    Tiger Shark
    Blacktip Shark

    GREAT EXPERIENCE - CARSON AND CREW ARE GREAT!

    6 Hour Trip – Deployment • 10 adults

    Went out with 11 people for a bachelor party and we all had a great time and unique experience. Carson and his crew are extremely knowledgable and have cool insights about the area and sharks if you care to ask! Aside from the fishing, Carson went above and beyond providing chairs, food, snacks, and drinks for the whole party. 100% would recommend booking through Carson and adding this to your itinerary if you are in the area!

    Awesome trip

    6 Hour Trip – Deployment • 7 adults • 1 child

    Took the 6 hour shark fishing trip. Carson and Nick wwrllwre awesome. Helped my 2 boys catch bait for their small fishing poles that they brought with them. They caught a few fish with their poles. Set us up our shark bait poles, went above and beyond. We ended up catching 1 nurse shark it was 8 foot 6in. Such an awesome experience will definitely be going shark fishing with them again.

    Shark Fishing Trip

    6 Hour Trip – Deployment • 3 adults • 1 child

    Carson and crew are great. From booking until our trip, Carson was great at communicating, flexible, and easy going. Trip was about as stress free as possible. The crew has a top notch setup and tries hard to catch as many sharks as possible. Getting baits in the water efficiently and get as excited as we did when they get a run and/or hook a shark. Will 100% book this trip again.

    Reported catch:
    Bull Shark

    Great experience with the family

    6 Hour Trip – Deployment • 5 adults

    We booked the trip for my son's 18th birthday and were thrilled with how the whole set up was prepared. There were comfortable chairs and music and the crew made sure everyone know how to handle the gear safely. My son and his friends had a blast and we caught several sharks. Highly enjoyed and hope to book trips again in the future!

Deep sea fishing is winding down, but you are still likely to catch Tuna and Mahi Mahi, with the possibility of a Wahoo or Sailfish, too. Nearshore fishing for bottom dwellers is promising as always.
