AJ Rotondella

Independent Guide
Born and raised in New Jersey, AJ grew up chasing inshore favorites like Fluke, Striped Bass, and Bluefish. But after nearly two decades of “normal” fishing, everything changed the moment he hooked into his first shark from the beach. That single experience sparked an obsession that still drives him today.

What started as curiosity quickly turned into a way of life. AJ has since spent years studying tides, moon phases, beach structure, and every possible condition to perfect the art of land-based shark fishing. He’s logged countless nights on the sand—not just catching sharks himself, but helping others do it too.

AJ offers fully guided, land-based shark fishing trips that are hands-on, all-inclusive, and family-friendly. You won’t need to worry about boats or seasickness—just show up ready for an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s your first time holding a rod or you’re chasing a personal best, AJ provides the gear, the knowledge, and the dedication to help you land your shark—and watch it swim off strong.

His deeper mission? To replace fear with respect by showing people just how incredible these...

About Your Trip

Four to six hours on the shore at Jensen Beach with AJ puts your group in the water during the prime activity windows when blacktip shark action along this stretch of Florida's Treasure Coast is at its most consistent. AJ times these trips around the best conditions of the day, with start times adjusted seasonally to align with sunrise and sunset windows that trigger feeding activity and maximize your group's time on the most productive bite.

Blacktip sharks are the sole target, an aggressive and hard-fighting species that provides the kind of shore fishing excitement that is difficult to match anywhere along the Florida coast. Jensen Beach sits in the heart of blacktip territory, and AJ's knowledge of the local conditions, tides, and seasonal patterns is what puts your group in front of fish rather than waiting on an empty line.

The shore-based format makes this an accessible and high-energy experience for anglers of any background. There is no boat involved, just your group, the beach, and the kind of focused shark fishing that AJ has built his trips around. If the bite is firing and your group wants to keep going, the option to extend to a full six hours is available on the water.

Start times are confirmed quickly after booking to make sure your group is in position during the most productive window for the time of year.

All gear is provided. Book with AJ today and come experience one of the Treasure Coast's most exciting shore fishing opportunities.
