Picture this: You're out on the open water, the salty breeze in your hair, and your line's set for some serious action. We're talking about reeling in Atlantic Sharpnose and Blacktip sharks – the kind of fish that'll give you a run for your money.

When it comes to shark fishing, we don't mess around. We use heavy-duty tackle that's up to the task of wrestling these powerful predators. You'll be using stout rods, reels packed with braided line, and wire leaders that can stand up to those razor-sharp teeth. We'll show you the ropes on how to handle the gear and what to do when you get a hit. It's all about teamwork out here – you'll take turns on the rod, and everyone gets a shot at glory. We typically use fresh cut bait to lure in the sharks, and sometimes we'll even chum the water to really get them fired up. Just a heads up – when that reel starts screaming, be ready for the fight of your life!
Calabash might be famous for its seafood restaurants, but let me tell you, the real action is out on the water. We've been having a killer season so far, with anglers pulling in some serious sharks. Just last week, we had a group land a 6-foot Blacktip that put on one heck of a show. Another crew managed to hook into a massive Atlantic Sharpnose that had everyone on board cheering. And it's not just about size – the sheer number of sharks we've been seeing is off the charts. Even on slower days, the excitement of knowing there are predators circling below keeps everyone on their toes.
Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks are the bread and butter of our trips. These feisty little guys might not be the biggest sharks in the sea, but what they lack in size, they make up for in attitude. Typically ranging from 3 to 4 feet long, they're known for their acrobatic leaps and fast runs. They're abundant in our waters from spring through fall, making them a reliable target for our trips. Sharpnose sharks are fun to catch and great for beginners looking to cut their teeth on shark fishing.
Blacktip Sharks are the heavyweight champs of our local waters. These bad boys can grow up to 6 feet long and put up a fight that'll leave your arms burning. They're known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs that can strip yards of line off your reel in seconds. Blacktips are most common here in the warmer months, especially from late spring to early fall. Landing one of these beauties is a real accomplishment – they're smart, strong, and not afraid to show off with some impressive jumps during the fight.
Let's be real – there's something special about shark fishing that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the rush you get when that rod bends double and line starts peeling off the reel. Or maybe it's the bragging rights that come with landing a toothy predator. Whatever it is, our trips deliver the goods. We've got repeat customers who book with us every season, and newbies who get hooked after just one trip. It's not just about the fishing, either – the camaraderie on board, the stunning coastal views, and the chance to disconnect from the daily grind all add up to an experience you won't forget.

These small but feisty sharks are a blast to catch around Calabash. Usually 2-3 feet long, they're quick and put up a good fight for their size. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, especially near beaches and in estuaries. They're here year-round, but summer's prime time when they're most active. Folks love targeting these sharks because they're abundant and relatively easy to hook - they'll go after just about any bait. Their meat's pretty tasty too. For best results, use small live baits or cut fish on a circle hook. These sharks have sharp teeth, so bring gloves for handling. Watch for their distinctive white spots and black-tipped fins when you're reeling one in. They might be small, but landing an Atlantic Sharpnose always gets the adrenaline going.

Blacktips are one of the most exciting sharks to catch off Calabash. These powerful swimmers typically run 4-5 feet long and put up an impressive fight. Look for them in coastal waters, often near artificial reefs or in muddy bays. They're most active in warmer months, especially summer. Anglers love blacktips for their acrobatic jumps - they've been known to leap 20 feet in the air! Use heavy braided line (at least 50 lb test) and circle hooks to handle their strength. Oily fish like mackerel or herring make great bait. Here's a local trick: chum the water with a fish paste to really get them excited. Just be ready when they hit - these sharks can be pretty excitable once they smell food. Landing a blacktip is always a thrill, but keep an eye out - they've been known to jump into boats!
