Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for hammerhead shark as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are bottom fishing, heavy tackle fishing, and light tackle fishing but trolling and live bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do hammerhead shark fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    What an incredible experience we had with Captain John John and Tyler. They took us out for a shark fishing excursion…after coming off an 8 hr fishing trip. They accommodated our family to get everyone involved and put us on some sharks right off. I appreciate the excellent hospitality and great personable experience they gave our family. What a memorable trip for our family. Will be using them again for sure! Top notch guys!! Thank you again!

    Trip: Panama City Shark Spectacular

  • ★★★★★
    Kind of bummed. Day of charter a large storm was coming into the Galveston area. We met the guide and discussed that there was no way to get the full day in. We were told we could switch to half day, which we really didn’t get that in either. After the trip I was told again we would get a refund for the half day charter. Never received the refund. We did catch some fish but we paid for a shark trip and took home a couple of trout. Not sure if this is normal but apparently once you lock in your stuck. Probably should have never got on the boat but after traveling 900 miles thought we would get in what we could and took their word that we could change the charter times. Definitely wasn’t a trip of a lifetime. We could have caught fish like this a mile away from the house.

    Trip: Bachelor Party Fishing Fun!

    The morning we spent with Zack was great! I was with my two teenage sons and son-in-law. Zack clearly has the experience and knowledge of someone who has been doing this for a long time. He was awesome to work with and was a lot of fun. We would do again for sure if we make it out to Hilton Head in the future.
