Ready for a heart-pounding shark fishing adventure? Our 4-hour Monster Shark Fishing Charter puts you face-to-face with one of the ocean's top predators - the powerful Seven Gill Shark. From May through September, we'll take you and up to 3 friends on a private charter to the local hotspots where these monsters lurk. Leaving at the crack of dawn, you'll have prime time on the water to battle it out with these impressive sharks. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the game, this trip delivers non-stop action and unforgettable encounters.
We kick off early, setting sail at 6:30 AM to make the most of prime shark fishing hours. This half-day trip is perfect for those who want a serious shark fishing experience without burning a whole day. Your expert captain knows exactly where these beasts hang out and will put you right in the thick of the action. You'll be hands-on from start to finish - setting lines, handling gear, and of course, fighting these powerful fish. It's a true test of skill and strength that'll have you grinning from ear to ear, whether you land a monster or just enjoy the thrill of the hunt.
Targeting Seven Gill Sharks isn't your average fishing trip. We use heavy-duty gear designed to handle these powerful predators. Think thick mono leaders, circle hooks, and sturdy rods that can take a beating. We'll likely be chumming to attract the sharks and then dropping baited lines. When a shark takes the bait, hold on tight! These giants can put up a fight that'll leave your arms feeling like jelly. Your captain will guide you through the whole process, from setting the hook to playing the fish. And don't worry - we practice catch and release to keep these awesome creatures in the ecosystem.
The Broadnose Sevengill Shark is the star of this show, and for good reason. These prehistoric-looking predators can grow up to 10 feet long and pack a serious punch. Unlike most sharks that have five gill slits, these bad boys rock seven - hence the name. They're known for their broad, blunt snouts and powerful bodies. Seven Gills are opportunistic feeders, chomping down on everything from fish to seals. When you hook one, be ready for a battle royale. They're known for their initial burst of speed followed by bulldog-like stubbornness. May through September is prime time for targeting these sharks in our local waters, as they move inshore to feed and potentially mate.
This isn't your average fishing trip - it's an adrenaline-pumping adventure that'll have you hooked from the get-go. The sheer power of these sharks is something you've got to experience to believe. Even seasoned anglers get a kick out of the challenge. Plus, the bragging rights of tangling with a prehistoric predator? Priceless. Our guests love the hands-on nature of the trip - you're not just along for the ride, you're part of the action. And with a max of 4 guests, you get plenty of personal attention and chances to reel in a monster.
Come prepared for a morning on the water. Dress in layers - it can be chilly when we head out but warm up quick once the sun's up. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses to cut the glare. We recommend non-slip shoes for safety on deck. Don't forget your camera or phone in a waterproof case - you'll want to capture the moment when you're battling one of these beasts. We've got all the fishing gear covered, so no need to lug your own unless you've got a lucky rod you can't leave behind. Oh, and pack some snacks and drinks - fighting sharks works up an appetite!
While we're all about the thrill of the catch, we're also big on protecting these awesome predators. Seven Gill Sharks play a crucial role in our local marine ecosystem, keeping other populations in check. That's why we practice catch and release, ensuring these sharks swim off to fight another day. We use circle hooks to minimize harm and keep handling time to a minimum. Your captain will walk you through proper release techniques, so you can feel good knowing you're helping preserve these incredible animals for future generations of anglers.
While Seven Gills are the main attraction, keep your eyes peeled for other marine life. Depending on the season, we might spot seals, sea lions, or even the occasional whale. Birds like pelicans and gulls often put on a show, diving for fish. It's not just about what's on the end of your line - the whole experience of being out on the water is something special. Your captain's got a keen eye and loads of local knowledge, so don't be shy about asking questions or pointing out anything interesting you spot.
If you're itching for a fishing adventure that'll get your heart racing, our Monster Shark Fishing Charter is calling your name.

Don't let this chance slip away - book now and get ready for the fight of your life!
These prehistoric-looking sharks are a real treat to target. Growing up to 7 feet long, they're one of the biggest predators in our local waters. Sevengills hang out near kelp beds and rocky areas, often in shallower depths than you'd expect for a shark this size. Spring's your best bet, when they gather to breed. Anglers love 'em for the challenge – they're not the strongest fighters, but they're crafty. That single dorsal fin and wide head make 'em unmistakable when you get one to the boat. We typically use heavy tackle, 40-50 pound class, with wire leaders. Whole fish baits work well – mackerel or salmon bellies are go-to choices. One local trick: keep an eye on your line after the bite. These sharks are flexible enough to bend around and bite through gear if you're not quick on the uptake. It's always a rush when you hook into one of these living fossils.
