Adventure

What started as a passion for fishing the shores of New Smyrna Beach grew into Shark Bait Boys—a charter built to share the thrill of land-based shark fishing with others. From our first battles on the sand to guiding guests today, our journey has always been about adventure, respect for the ocean, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

​

What You Can Expect:

​

• Fully Equipped Shark Expeditions
  Each trip includes top-quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait. We use proven fishing techniques designed to safely and effectively target species like Bull, Blacktip, Lemon, Tiger, and Hammerhead sharks.

​​

• Hands-On Bait Preparation
  Be part of the action by helping prepare and rig bait to draw in these incredible fish. Our crew will guide you through every step, from bait selection to proper hook setting.

​​

• The Ultimate Fight
  Experience the raw strength of a shark in direct, stand-up battles—no fighting chairs, just you, the rod, and the power of the sea. Many anglers land multiple sharks in a single trip, with catches ranging from medium-sized fighters to giants over 8 feet long.

​​

• Catch-and-Release Commitment
  We prioritize ethical fishing practices, using gear and techniques that reduce stress on the animal and ensure a safe, quick release. Conservation is a core value, helping protect Florida’s shark populations for generations to come.

​​

• Trips for Every Angler
  From 6-hour excursions to full-day expeditions, we tailor each outing to match your goals. We welcome anglers of all skill levels, offering coaching, tips, and a safe, fun environment.
