What can I expect if I catch one?
Hooking a shark is an adrenaline-pumping experience! These powerful, fast, and unpredictable predators put up an intense fight with long runs, deep dives, and aggressive headshakes. The size and fight depend on the species, but even smaller sharks will test your gear and strength. The Blacktip Shark (3-6 feet) – Hard runs, acrobatic jumps, and aggressive. The Bull Shark (5-10 feet, VERY Strong) – One of the hardest-fighting sharks in the Gulf. The Hammerhead Shark (5-12 feet, Epic Fight) – Long runs and intense power. The Tiger Shark (6-14 feet, Monster Shark) – Rare, but will test any angler’s strength. The Spinner Shark (3-6 feet, Jumps Like Crazy) – High-flying action like a tarpon!
Can you eat them?
Yes, you can eat shark, but not all species are good for consumption. Due to many regulations around catching sharks, we only do catch and release trips for sharks.
How far out do we need to go to catch them?
Sharks can be found everywhere in the Gulf of America. Larger Bull Sharks are often found 5 to 15 miles offshore. The biggest sharks in the Gulf—Mako, Tiger, and Great Hammerhead—are usually found 30+ miles offshore.
