    Great Trip

    8 HOUR (Late) • 6 adults

    We booked a beachside shark fishing trip had a great overall experience, even though the sharks just weren’t cooperating that day. The only fish we ended up catching were bait fish, but we know that’s the nature of fishing—especially when targeting sharks. The guide was knowledgeable, professional, and worked hard throughout the trip. They made sure we had everything we needed, explained the process, and did everything they could to give us the best chance at success. The setup was well organized, and we still enjoyed spending time on the beach and experiencing something different. While we would have loved to land a shark, we understand there are no guarantees in fishing. We’d gladly book with them again and hope for better luck next time.

    amazing

    6 Hour Trip - 5:00 PM • 11 adults

    Had an awesome experience booking through FishingBooker! Even though we didn’t land a shark this time, the trip itself was still well worth it. The weather was unpredictable and the tide was lower than expected, which made conditions tough, but the captain stayed positive, professional, and worked hard to put us on fish. Great atmosphere, great memories, and an overall amazing experience on the water. I’d definitely book again!

    Captain put us on the fish.

    4 HOUR • 4 adults • 1 child

    we were able to catch 3 differnet species of fish and did end up landing a shark during the trip. The captain and his crew went above and beyond and made the most of our trip. It was a much better experience than we had in Florida the previous year!

    Well worth it, amazing experience!

    6 HOUR (EVENING) • 5 adults

    Love fishing 🎣 and know that not every time will you catch but we were able to catch a sandbar shark 🦈 that was 6 feet and around 150 pounds. Steven had everything setup before we arrived, fishing poles already ready, chairs, fire pit, and drone/kayak to take bait out far. Great experience and will do again soon. Also was able to catch a red drum that was around 40 pounds.

    Reported catch:
    Southern Kingfish
    Blacktip Shark
    Redfish

    Awesome Day in Bolivar!

    4 HOUR (Day) • 1 adult

    The owner and crew could not have been kinder, and I had a blast. I fish almost weekly offshore, and this was my first time fishing from the beach for sharks. The experience did not disappoint and highly recommend to anyone.
