Shark Fishing Florida

Shark fishing.

Ah, shark fishing! Now you’re talking about one of the most thrilling adventures we can offer off the coast of Panama City Beach. Florida’s warm waters are home to a variety of shark species, and they offer a truly exhilarating challenge for anglers.

The sharks we typically encounter here include Bull Sharks, Hammerheads, Blacktips, and sometimes even Tiger Sharks. The size of these creatures varies greatly. Some are just a few feet long, while others, like the Bull Shark and Tiger Shark, can grow to over 10 feet long and weigh several hundred pounds.

Our largest shark to date is a 14 ft. hammerhead that took us 4 hours to land and was estimated at 800 pounds.

Shark Fishing Details:

• 4-hour, 6-hour, 8-hour, 10-hour, or 12-hour trips
• Sharks are in the 6 to 10 ft. range.
• Takes Time and Patience
• Fighting sharks can be 10 min or over Four hours
• Bull sharks are the most common in PCB

What time of year is good for shark fishing in florida.

When we set out specifically for shark fishing, we usually go during the warmer months, when sharks are most active in the Gulf of Mexico. We’ll typically head out in the late afternoon or evening because many shark species are most active during the twilight and nighttime hours.

What is it like to go Shark Fishing?

The tackle we use for shark fishing is heavy-duty. We’re talking about very strong rods and reels, high-test line, and wire leaders to prevent the sharks from biting through.

Safety is always a top priority, and handling these powerful creatures requires a high degree of expertise.

When a shark bites, the fight that follows is unlike any other in sport fishing. It’s a test of strength and endurance, and it requires a lot of skill to bring a large shark alongside the boat. But don’t worry, our captain will be there to guide you every step of the way.

Most species we catch must be released due to regulation. If you do catch a legal species, we give you the choice to harvest that fish.

Catch and release is typically practiced for shark fishing to ensure the preservation of these incredible creatures. We handle these creatures with care and respect, minimizing stress during their release back into the water.

Fishing for sharks isn’t for the faint of heart, but for those seeking the thrill of a big catch, it’s an unforgettable experience. Out here in the Gulf of Panama City Beach , we’re lucky to have such a diverse and exciting range of fishing opportunities.

We had a great time, as fishing goes the first couple hours were dead but then about 5 hours into the trip we had 2 lines hit at the same time, ended up losing one, but were able to real in 6' sandbar shark, incredible experience for my kids and myself. Jaden was our guide and was great with my kids 12 and 10 year old teaching them and answering their questions. Just plan for a day at the beach, everything seems to bite at dusk or around high tide.

You're driving a truck with full ads for your company and you drive like a manic on the road! You almost hit my car by cutting me off and not having your turning signal on! What the heck is wrong with you!

Well if negative stars was an option that would def be negative. I was referred to this guy Matt by Navarre pier. Which I was sure to make known they should stop recommending this guy. It should have been a red flag how insisting he was to be paid prior to the event. But I ignored it. Booked him weeks in advance. We paid for 5 people and my brother in-law has crones disease and his stomach hurt and wasn't going to be able to make it. Matt wouldn't refund him which I can understand so I found another person to take my bro in-laws spot. We got there and setup and 2 other groups besides mine were also there. Matt never showed up and the guy he sent brought the bait out and was in his truck more than on the beach. Luckily I am able to rig the other rods for my kids so I didn't need him. While talking to the 2 other groups which 1 group had 2 paying people the other was also 2 paying people. The group from Texas was as mad as me. Why the guy wasn't around Matt didn't bother to show up and the experience for both groups and our kids was terrible. I'm an avid fisherman. Reguardless if if we had caught anything or not can never be the experience you pay for. Its called fishing not catching for a reason. If there had maybe been more conversation or more than 3 rods for 9 paying customers things may have been different. If anyone is interested in shark fishing off the beach I'd recommend NO BONES FISHING out of Navarre. The owner will is amazing as well as his wife and family. After sharing how I had gotten ripped off by off the beach he offers to take my kid and I to catch sharks in Navarre where we were staying. It was a great experience. We caught multiple sharks one of which was a great hammerhead. The best part is it was where we were staying. Which was great because Matt had me drive with 5 people 2-1/2 hours to hang out with strange people that were all mad like me they had been ripped off as well . Before we packed up and left I let the guys from Texas know we were going to try and file a claim with PayPal to be refunded. He said he was also doing that. Then when I was telling this to the third group they told me they were there tonite because they had paid for the previous day and not caught anything. I then talked to the guy Matt did send out there he told me that Matt don't make it to the beach much anymore since he purchased a boat. If I had to do this over again I would insist that Matt be the guy doing the tour as advertised and I would have said I would pay when we meet prior to fishing. Like everyone else on the gulf does. I pay people to take me fishing every year and know what to expect. This guy is a rip-off artist.

What is tiger shark fishing in Panama City Beach all about?

Tiger shark fishing in Panama City Beach, Florida, is an exciting endeavor that attracts anglers seeking a thrilling challenge. These apex predators are known for their formidable size, strength, and tenacity, making them a prized catch for experienced anglers. While tiger sharks can be found in offshore waters worldwide, they are particularly abundant in the warm Gulf of Mexico waters off the coast of Florida, including Panama City Beach. Anglers targeting tiger sharks in Panama City Beach typically venture offshore to deeper waters where these predators roam. They often employ a variety of fishing techniques, including drift fishing, trolling, and bottom fishing, to attract and hook these powerful creatures. Large live or dead bait, such as bonito, mackerel, or barracuda, is commonly used to entice tiger sharks into biting. Due to their size and strength, tiger sharks put up a formidable fight once hooked, requiring anglers to use heavy-duty tackle and strong fishing gear to handle them. Catching a tiger shark can be a test of endurance and skill, as these predators are known for their aggressive behavior and ability to put up a lengthy battle. Anglers who successfully land a tiger shark in Panama City Beach often have an unforgettable fishing experience and a trophy-worthy catch to show for their efforts.

What are the most popular months to fish for tiger shark in Panama City Beach?

Tiger shark fishing in Panama City Beach, Florida, can be pursued year-round, as these apex predators inhabit the waters off the Gulf Coast consistently. However, certain seasons may offer more favorable conditions for targeting tiger sharks. During the warmer months of spring and summer, tiger sharks are often more active and abundant in the region's waters, making them more accessible to anglers. Warmer water temperatures tend to attract a variety of prey species, which, in turn, draws tiger sharks closer to the shore. While tiger shark fishing can be productive throughout the year in Panama City Beach, anglers may find that certain months yield better results than others. In the spring and early summer, from March to June, tiger sharks are commonly sighted along the Gulf Coast as they migrate northward. During this time, anglers have a higher chance of encountering these predators in nearshore and offshore waters. Additionally, fall months, particularly September and October, can also be fruitful for tiger shark fishing as the waters remain warm, and baitfish populations thrive. It's important for anglers to be mindful of seasonal changes and weather patterns when planning a tiger shark fishing trip in Panama City Beach. While these predators can be found year-round, factors such as water temperature, baitfish migrations, and weather conditions can influence their behavior and movement patterns. By staying informed about seasonal trends and local fishing reports, anglers can increase their chances of success when targeting tiger sharks in Panama City Beach's rich and diverse waters.

What techniques are popular for catching tiger shark in Panama City Beach?

When it comes to tiger shark fishing in Panama City Beach, Florida, anglers often employ a variety of techniques to maximize their chances of success. One popular method is offshore trolling, where anglers use large, deep-diving lures or natural baits such as whole fish or squid rigged on heavy-duty tackle. Trolling allows anglers to cover a wide area of water and target tiger sharks that roam the deeper offshore waters in search of prey. It's essential to use sturdy tackle and strong hooks when trolling for tiger sharks to handle their powerful strikes and immense size. Another effective technique for tiger shark fishing in Panama City Beach is bottom fishing, particularly around reefs, wrecks, and other underwater structures where tiger sharks are known to frequent. Anglers anchor their boats near these structures and deploy large baitfish or chunks of fish on heavy-duty bottom rigs to attract tiger sharks. This method requires patience as anglers wait for tiger sharks to locate and take the bait. Using chum, such as mashed-up fish or fish oil, can also help attract tiger sharks to the area and increase fishing success. For anglers looking for a more adrenaline-pumping experience, shark fishing from the beach or pier is a popular option in Panama City Beach. Using stout surf rods and heavy-duty tackle, anglers cast large baits such as whole fish, squid, or chunks of bonito into the surf and wait for tiger sharks to pick up the scent. This method requires strong fishing gear and careful handling of hooked tiger sharks once they're brought to shore. It's essential to follow local regulations and guidelines when beach or pier fishing for tiger sharks to ensure the safety of both anglers and the sharks themselves.

What other species are popular in Panama City Beach?

In addition to tiger sharks, Panama City Beach offers a diverse range of fish species for anglers to target, providing plenty of opportunities for exciting and rewarding fishing experiences. One popular species among anglers is the red snapper, known for its delicious taste and fighting spirit. Red snapper can be found around offshore reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottoms, where they often gather in schools. Anglers typically use bottom fishing techniques with live bait or artificial lures to attract these prized fish. Red snapper season in Panama City Beach usually opens in June and lasts through the summer months, offering anglers ample opportunities to reel in this coveted species. Another sought-after species in the waters of Panama City Beach is the grouper, known for its robust size and challenging fight. Several species of grouper inhabit the offshore waters, including gag, red, and black grouper. These fish are commonly found around reefs, ledges, and underwater structures, where they ambush prey. Anglers often target grouper using bottom fishing techniques with live bait or jigs, as well as trolling near reef systems. Grouper fishing season typically runs year-round in Panama City Beach, with peak fishing occurring during the spring and fall months. For anglers looking for fast-paced action and a thrilling fight, king mackerel, also known as kingfish, are a popular target species in Panama City Beach. These speedy predators patrol the nearshore and offshore waters in search of baitfish, making them accessible to anglers fishing from boats, piers, and even the beach. King mackerel are often targeted using trolling techniques with live bait or artificial lures, as well as drifting with live baitfish or jigging near bait schools. King mackerel season in Panama City Beach typically peaks during the spring and fall months when these fish migrate along the coast in large numbers, providing excellent opportunities for anglers to hook into these powerful game fish.

The Ultimate Guide for Shark Fishing in Panama City Beach Florida

Do you want to learn more about Shark Fishing in Panama City Beach? If so, then this is the ideal guide for you.

We’ll teach you everything there is to know about shark fishing here in Panama City Beach and why it’s such a popular activity among locals and tourists alike!

You can even read some of our favorite tips from experienced anglers who have been catching sharks on the beach for decades.

So what are you waiting for? Keep reading, and we promise that by the end of this article, your knowledge of shark fishing will be second-to-none!

Can you fish sharks in Panama City Beach?

Yes, you can! However, the State of Florida has put some restrictions on shark fishing. You can’t keep any shark longer than seven feet, and you can only keep one shark per day.

What kind of sharks can I catch in Panama City Beach?

There are several species of sharks that can be caught on the beach here in Panama City Beach. Here are some of the most usual ones.

Blacktip shark:  

A smallish shark that’s often confused with the Spinner Shark. However, it can be special by its long and gently curved pectoral fins.

Blacknose shark:  

This species of sharks are often found off the coast of Panama City Beach during the winter months. During the summer, though, they’re often found in the Atlantic Ocean.

What’s the best bait to use for shark fishing?

The most common bait for shark bottom fishing is mullet. However, you can also use menhaden, pilchards, king mackerel Spanish mackerel, and ballyhoo.

Is Panama City Beach safe to swim in?

Yes, it is. Panama Beach is one of the safest beaches in Florida to swim in because of its small tides and gentle waves!

How do you catch a shark in Panama City Beach?

A lot of shark fishing in Panama City Beach is done on a kayak. But you can also catch sharks from the beach, piers, and boats!

However, if you do opt for the kayak, here’s what you need to remember.

• Always wear a life jacket or wetsuit when you’re out on the water.
• Make sure that your vessel is equipped with a working compass. The last thing that you want to do is get lost out on the water!
• Try not to go shark fishing during stormy weather conditions.
• You should also exercise some common sense when it comes to keeping your distance from larger fish. At most, sharks are not the only fish that can be dangerous!

How do you shark fish at night?

A lot of shark fishing in Panama City Beach is done at night. However, you’ll need one or two lights to see what you’re doing. You can also use red lights because it doesn’t affect the shark’s eyesight.

But make sure that you use glow sticks to mark your fishing line so that other boats don’t accidentally cut it.

What is the beach with the most shark attacks?

New Smyrna Beach Florida, is the location with the most recorded shark attacks. This makes sense as developed nations such as America and Australia have more thorough documentation of these types (attacks).

On the other hand, developing coastlines like South Africa only document them when they happen, making it difficult to collect accurate statistics on how often these creatures target humans compared to those living elsewhere worldwide!

What time of year is best for shark fishing

The best time to go deep-sea fishing is in May, June, and July when you can catch your biggest fish. The other months are good for small shark rod or reel fishers – Spring (April) and Fall (September). If it snows, then winter will be prime bait!

Spring can be very good as well. Most of our anglers do well after hurricane season is over, and the water gets clear, warm, and baitfish move inshore.

Do sharks like low tide or high tide?

Most attacks happen in the near-shore waters, typically inshore of a sandbar or between bars where sharks live and can become trapped at low tide .

When tides get high , though, they have an opportunity to find another bar closer towards the shore that’s exposed enough for them during high water.

The Ichthyology Department at Florida International University states, “Sharks are attracted to areas with easy prey, which often includes swimmers.”

Can you catch a shark in the morning?

It’s best to go fishing charters in the morning when there’s no wind at all! If you wish to catch more sharks, you must also look for the right tide .

“Morning is usually best, especially if you are fishing with live baits, as the fish are feeding when the sun comes up.

What sharks are in Panama City Beach?

The Gulf of Mexico is home to many different species, including Bull Sharks, Thresher Sharks, and Nurse sharks.

But you’ll find Hammerheads in abundance, too, along with other large sea creatures like Mako Shark or Blacknose Shark!

The oceanic whitetip shark has white tips on its fins while an Oceanid’s tip appears blacker than coal; it also goes by “blacktip.”

There are two types of shortfin Mako (armed) males called switchblade swords because they can attack from either side depending on whether prey moves towards them during feeding time.

Are there great white sharks in Panama?

There are many unfounded myths about great whites in Panama City waters.

Although Jaws made people think they were everywhere, actually, this is quite uncommon as the water temperature generally doesn’t produce enough nutrients for them to survive here onshore with us humans!

But there have been cases where fisherman found their nets filled up by what looked like teeth marks–maybe these sharks come into shore when currents bring back old habits from the sea.

How many shark attacks have there been in Panama City Beach?

The sharks of Panama City Beach are usually pretty shy and don’t like people much.

Of course, this is rare for them to be seen up close- even though there have only been eight attacks in history that involved a human!

The two most fatal incidents happened when someone was free diving or snorkeling near the water’s surface; we’ll let you know what those were about as soon as possible so stay tuned!

Are there alligators in Panama City Beach Florida?

We do have alligators in the area , but they tend to stay in the swamps and marshes. However, if you’re looking for more dangerous animals, you can always go to the zoo and see for yourself!

Alligators are well-known to come out of rivers and ponds , so it’s always a good idea to use caution when going in the water. When fishing for sharks off the coast, you’ll need a boat – they are typically caught around three miles away from shore.

What should you not wear in Panama?

People in Panama City love to dress up, but they also have a sense of style that’s more relaxed than in many other countries.

If you’re going for an easy fishing trip , stick with fitted clothing and sleek shoes, as this will help avoid the tourist vibe.

Often people wear neutral colors, so they don’t stand out too greatly from one another – it all hangs on what YOU want your experience here to be!

So, you want to know how to shark fish in Panama City Beach? Well, that’s a lot of questions! To answer them all at once, no. Sharks can’t be caught with hooks or fishing lines because they’re not bony fish and don’t have scales on their bodies like most other species do. 

However: there are many different ways to catch sharks depending on the time of day and location where you go fishing for shark and mahi mahi . 

If you are looking for bait options , try using fresh bait, which includes squid, herring roe (fish eggs), mackerels canned in oil, or any other oily fish such as sardines; this type of fishing will help attract more sharks since they love hunting.
