Book a shark fishing charter with Salty Dawg Charters

Do you love sharks? Are you a fan of Shark Week on TV? Maybe you just want to catch a big fish? If you want to learn more about Sharks, where they live, what they eat, how to fish for them, how to safely (for you and them) handle them, and how to avoid thinking of sharks with the "Jaws" stereotype then you've come to the right place! Captain Harvey loves sharks, has been fascinated by them since he was a kid, and loves to catch them and release them back into the wild unharmed. And yes, Jaws is his favorite movie regardless of stereotypes! :)


Shark Fishing Charter in OIB Ocean Isle Beach NC

Capt Harvey runs his Shark Fishing Charters from June 1st through September 30th each year (most other fishing charters are year-round). Captain Harvey will meet you at the public boat ramp below the Ocean Isle Beach Bridge at 65 Causeway Drive, Ocean Isle Beach, NC. If you're staying in Sunset Beach, Holden Beach, or Calabash then we can pick you up at a boat ramp in the beach town that you're staying in. After we meet, we will be making a 10-20 minute run in our Sea Hunt center console bay boat to to any of several locations that we might be fishing that day. The boat ride will be calm, relaxing, and will be an enjoyable part of the trip. Not to worry, this is a very safe and family-friendly fishing trip and is nothing like Jaws. Captain Harvey will keep you and your family very safe and teach you a lot about sharks. All shark trips are catch and live release only, but you will have a chance to get some great pics before we let them swim away.

Holden Beach shark fishing charter trips

We will be fishing for Black Tip Sharks in the 20-40 pound range, which put up quite a fight on light/medium, tackle. Occasionally, we will hook into sharks of 100 pounds or more, which is a lot of fun. We'll fish in and around our local ocean inlets from Little River SC all the way north to the Cape Fear River in NC.

We will fish with live and cut bait. The fishing rod and reel combos we use are well maintained casting outfits. Captain Harvey will be happy to teach anyone aboard how to properly cast, retrieve, and hook fish. We will bait your hooks and help you land your fish, too.
