What are Boca Grande Shark Fishing Charters known for?
Looking for a big bad shark that will give you the fight of your life? Boca Grande and the surrounding waters are the place to come. Home to some of the world's biggest hammerhead sharks as well as aggressive groups of huge bull sharks, Boca Grande will provide you with a drag-screaming thrill. Bull sharks up to 9ft ,weighing over 300lbs, are common during the tarpon run. Hammerheads as long as a boat can be seen and targeted during that time as well.
Sharks of all shapes & sizes can be targeted and even sight-fished with great confidence.
What other species will we catch on our Boca Grande Shark Fishing Charter?
The fun begins with catching the bait. We will catch jacks, ladyfish & bonita to use for bait. We will also fish with a bow & arrow for various species of ray which happen to be high on the sharks wish list. The fun is non-stop on our shark charters.
Many species of shark can be found including - hammerhead, bull, black tip, spinner, lemon, sandbar, sharpnose & nurse. All provide a great test of stength and skill and can be targeted with great confidence throughout the year.
Bait & Tackle
Heavy spinning & conventional tackle with artificial, live, or cut bait.
Boca Grande fishing charters require tackle that not only helps you hook the fish but also help you to successfully land your catch. Quantum & Fin-Nor reels matched with custom Sewell rods are up to the task and are the best in the industry. They are spooled with 50-100lb Power Pro braid & Seaguar flourocarbon leader to make the ultimate shark rigs.
