Mid Summer Shark Bannaza-Nearshore Trip

Aug 12, 2024 Galveston

Our nearshore shark action is heating up. Trips ranging from 5-20 sharks a trip. We are mostly catching spinner and blacktip sharks ranging from 30-160 lbs. On these trips we are likely to encounter Tarpon, Jacks, Ling and Bull Reds. This trip continues to get better and better until late October. If you are allergic to catching “Big Sharks “ then this is not your trip.

Your husband caught 5 big sharks and couldn’t reel in another one. You started throwing up and ask me to take everyone back. Upon reaching the dock you claimed you were ok so I took your crew back out.

The kids caught fish and had a good time. Before leaving you asked if your kids could get a picture with me in front of my locker.
I think your trip was full of entertainment and there will be memories for your kids for a long time.

It’s too bad you can’t realize that. Anyone looking at the attached pictures will notice you all had a good time.

Thanks Karrie
