Ocean Isle Beach Shark Fishing Charter
North Carolina is a great state for shark fishing charters. South Carolina has awesome shark fishing, too. Were lucky to be sitting in Ocean Isle Beach NC, right on the NC / SC border, with access to great Shark Fishing in both states.
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 of Sharks -and of crusty old sea Captains :)
Captain Harvey will meet you at the public boat ramp below the Ocean Isle Beach Bridge at 67 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. Captain Harvey will keep you and your family very safe and teach you a lot about sharks.
All shark trips are catch and release only, but you will have a chance to get some great pics and video before we let them swim away.
Shark Species We Target
We will be fishing for Black Tip Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Sandbar Sharks, Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks, and various other shark species in the 20-80 pound range (with the occasional 100+ pounder), which put up quite a fight on medium tackle.
Atlantic sharpnose sharks are perfect for beginners due to their smaller size and aggressive feeding habits. You will likely encounter Sharpnose sharks on your shark fishing charter.
Blacktip Sharks are abundant in late Spring and Summer when baitfish move into nearshore waters.
Hammerheads frequent the area of Shallotte Inlet and Little River Inlet during the warmer months, attracted by the abundance of stingrays and other prey.
Sandbar Sharks, known for their size and strength, are commonly found near Ocean Isle Beach's inlets and reefs during the summer and early fall, making them an exciting target for anglers looking to catch a large shark, or their personal best shark.
What to Expect on Your Shark Fishing Charter
For your Shark Fishing Charter, we will meet at 67 Causeway Drive, Ocean Isle Beach NC 28469. This is under the Ocean Isle Beach Bridge, and just down the street from the Ocean Isle Beach Pier and the Museum of Coastal Carolina.
If you're staying in a vacation home on any of the islands in Brunswick County that have a boat dock, please ask Captain Harvey about picking you up at your dock for your fishing charter. If possible, I'll be glad to help.
We'll fish just offshore of Ocean Isle Beach and will likely stay between Holden Beach, Ocean Isle, Sunset Beach, and Little River SC. We will mostly fish between Shallotte Inlet and Little River Inlet, where the baitfish draw in sharks.
We will fish with natural cut bait, typically bluefish, mullet, etc...
The fishing rod and reel combos you will use are well maintained casting outfits.
Captain Harvey will be happy to teach anyone aboard how to properly cast, retrieve, and hook fish. He will bait your hooks and help you land your fish, too (with a gaff or net once you've gotten them to the boat -you're reeling them in!). If the shark is larger than 5 feet in length, we'll leave them in the water, snap a pic of you with your shark by the side of the boat, and then Captain Harvey will release the shark unharmed.
A private restroom is available on our boat. There are also public restrooms available nearby, as we do have several marinas and parks along the ICW that have public facilities.
This trip is all-inclusive; all safety gear, fishing gear, fishing licenses, and bait are included in the price of your fishing charter.
The following items are recommended to be brought along: Camera or camera phone, packable rain jacket, snacks, drinks, and a cooler to take home any fish that you choose to keep (sharks are catch and release only). The following are required to bring along: Sunglasses or some other form of eye protection (from hooks, etc...).
This trip is all inclusive with no hidden fees. So, stop searching for "Shark Fishing Charter Near Me" and book now!
