What's the Deal?

Here's the scoop: We launch at 7 AM sharp from The Galveston Yacht Marina. Our 26-foot Robalo Bay Boat is a beast, powered by twin 200HP Mercury engines that'll get us to the hotspots in no time. We've got room for up to 6 folks, so bring your crew. Just remember, everyone needs a valid Texas fishing license - no exceptions. We'll be prowling Galveston Bay and venturing into the Gulf of Mexico, following the scent of shark action. And hey, if plans change, we offer free cancellation up to a week before your trip date.

Shark Fishing 101

Alright, let's talk shark fishing. This ain't your grandpa's bass fishing - we're using heavy-duty gear to handle these monsters. We typically use stout rods paired with large capacity reels spooled with braided line. For bait, we're talking big chunks of fresh fish or whole smaller fish to attract the big boys. We'll set up a chum slick to bring them in close, then it's game on. When that reel starts screaming, you better hold on tight! Fighting a shark is a full-body workout, so come prepared to sweat. We practice catch and release for these apex predators, ensuring the sustainable future of our fishery.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Blacktip Sharks: These speedsters are a common catch in our waters. Known for their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs, Blacktips typically range from 4 to 6 feet long. They're most active in the warmer months, making them perfect targets for our summer charters. Anglers love the fight these sharks put up - it's like hooking a missile!

Bull Sharks: Now we're talking serious business. Bulls are the bruisers of the shark world, thick-bodied and aggressive. They can grow up to 8 feet or more in our area. These guys are known for their power and tenacity - when a Bull takes your bait, you're in for the fight of your life. They're around all summer, but seem to be most active in August and September.

Hammerhead Sharks: If you're lucky, you might tangle with one of these bizarre-looking predators. Great Hammerheads can reach massive sizes, though the ones we typically encounter are in the 6 to 8 foot range. Their unique head shape isn't just for show - it gives them an edge in hunting. Landing a Hammerhead is a true trophy experience that'll have you grinning for weeks.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the rush of hooking into a shark. It's a whole different ballgame from your typical inshore fishing. The anticipation as you wait for that bite, the explosive moment when line starts peeling off your reel, and the arm-burning battle that follows - it's addictive stuff. Plus, the bragging rights are pretty sweet. Imagine showing your buddies a photo of you next to a 6-foot shark you just landed. That's the kind of memory that sticks with you.
