As always March has filled up fast but we still have a few dates available:
🦈 SPRING BREAK IS FOR PREDATORS
Everybody else is chasing parties.
You’re chasing apex predators.
While they’re posting bar selfies…
You’ll be knee-deep in the surf with a rod doubled over and something massive trying to spool you.
This is not a sightseeing trip.
This is not a dolphin tour.
This is not “we caught a cute little shark.”
This is LAND-BASED SHARK FISHING.
From the beach.
After dark.
Real fights. Real power. Real adrenaline.
📍 Spring Break trips now booking in:
• Panama City Beach
• Panama City
• Mexico Beach
• Port St. Joe
• Cape San Blas
• St. George Island
✔️ Heavy shark tackle provided
✔️ No experience needed
✔️ Perfect for Spring Break groups
✔️ Epic photos + bragging rights included
You can go home with a hangover…
Or go home with a story nobody else has.
Limited dates.
First come, first served.

Due to business demand and growth we are happy to announce the addition of Glenn Mckeown & Michael Graham to the chum em up crew. Michael and Glenn will be running overflow land based shark trips for me. Previous clients do not be afraid as I intend to fish with y'all and keep those relationships because if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here. This is an opportunity for Michael and Glenn to start building their own clientele and from reviews it won't take long.
