Drop Zone Fishing Charters

Member since June 2024 Destin, United States
Background
Drop Zone Shark Fishing was created by Captain Zach in 2021 to give others the opportunity to catch sharks from the beach. We are located in Destin, Navarre, Santa Rosa Beach and Panama City. We offer custom trips in other parts of Florida and the Eastern Coast of the United States. We have all custom reels and make our own rigs and gear. We use drone and professional kayakers to deploy the bait up to 800 yards off the beach. We can fish in up to 50 mph and 7 foot waves so we do not cancel on you. If you are looking for the best shark fishing experience in the Gulf this is it. Fishing for sharks off the beach in our eyes is superior to pulling them beside the boat and leaving the hook in their mouth. From the beach we can get a proper family photo and release. We specialize in bull, tiger and greater hammerhead shark fishing in the warmer months and Dusky and other pelagic sharks during the colder months here on the panhandle. Shark fishing is our life and we are on the sand everyday the weather permits either running trips, catching bait or dialing in the bite for an upcoming trip. We have spent years studying the migrations of every shark species here. We have many what would have been record sharks if killed. This is a new style of fishing only possible with modern gear. We are the most experienced in the area and showed the ropes to many of sharkers all over the world. Sharks are highly migratory so contact us about whats biting. Come shark fishing with the pros!
