Shark Night: PCB's Ultimate Predator Chase

Get ready for a heart-pounding adventure on the Gulf waters after dark! Our Shark Night fishing trip with Got'em Fishing Charters is the real deal for thrill-seekers looking to tangle with some of the ocean's top predators. We're talking big sharks, starry skies, and the kind of stories you'll be telling for years. This ain't your average day on the water – it's a chance to test your mettle against some seriously toothy customers.

What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're out on the Gulf of Mexico as the sun dips below the horizon. The air's got that salty tang, and there's a buzz of excitement on board. Captain Jeremy's at the helm, ready to put you on the shark hotspots he knows like the back of his hand. We're not messing around with small fry here – we're after the big boys, the kind that'll make your arms ache and your adrenaline spike. It's four hours of non-stop action, perfect for a group of up to four looking to make some unforgettable memories.

How We Roll on Shark Night

Alright, let's talk shop. We use heavy-duty tackle that's up to the task of battling these underwater beasts. We're talking thick mono leaders, circle hooks, and reels that can handle the pressure when a shark decides to take you for a ride. Captain Jeremy's got a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to bait – we're using the good stuff that sharks can't resist. We'll be setting up just off the coast where the sharks like to cruise, dropping our lines and waiting for that heart-stopping moment when the rod bends double. And let me tell you, when a big shark hits, you'll know it!

Now, here's the deal with landing these bad boys: we don't bring sharks on board. It's not safe for you or the fish. If we hook into a legal-sized shark that Captain Jeremy thinks we can safely handle, we might bring it in. But here's a heads up – if we do land a keeper and you change your mind about taking it home, there's a $250 fee. We're all about responsible fishing here, so we want to make sure nothing goes to waste.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk about the stars of the show – the sharks themselves. We're mainly targeting two species that'll give you a run for your money:

Shortfin Mako Shark: These are the speedsters of the shark world. They're known to leap clear out of the water when hooked, putting on a show that'll have your heart in your throat. Makos are smart, they're fast, and they fight like their life depends on it. They're most active in the cooler months, so if you're here in spring or fall, you might just hit the jackpot. Makos can grow up to 12 feet long, so when you hook one, you better hold on tight!

Blacktip Shark: Don't let their smaller size fool you – blacktips are pound-for-pound some of the scrappiest fighters in the Gulf. These guys are known for their acrobatics, often spinning and jumping when they feel the hook. They're more common in the warmer months, so summer anglers, this one's for you. Blacktips usually run about 5-6 feet long, but what they lack in size, they make up for in attitude. When you're reeling one in, it's like trying to land a tornado!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I can tell you – there's nothing quite like shark fishing at night. The atmosphere is electric. You've got the stars overhead, the glow of the lights on the water, and the knowledge that just below the surface, some of nature's perfect predators are cruising by. It's a whole different ballgame from daytime fishing.

Plus, there's something about the camaraderie that develops when you're out there in the dark, waiting for that big hit. You're all in it together, sharing the anticipation, the excitement, and yeah, sometimes a little bit of fear (but don't worry, I've got your back). It's the kind of experience that turns strangers into fishing buddies for life.

Time to Book Your Spot

Alright, let's cut to the chase. If you're looking for a fishing trip that'll get your blood pumping and give you bragging rights for years to come, this is it. Our Shark Night trips are some of the most popular charters we run, and spots fill up fast – especially during peak season. So if you're ready to face off against some of the Gulf's most impressive predators, don't wait. Grab your buddies, pick a date, and let's get you out on the water. Trust me, once you've felt the power of a big shark on the end of your line, you'll be hooked for life. Book now, and let's make some shark fishing magic happen!

Learn more about the species

Blacktip Shark

Shortfin makos are the speedsters of the shark world, capable of bursts over 40 mph. These open ocean predators average 6-8 feet long but can reach 12 feet. You'll find them patrolling offshore waters, often near the surface. Summer and early fall are prime time for makos off Panama City Beach. They follow the bait schools, so we look for areas holding tuna and mackerel. Chumming is key - a nice oily slick will bring them right to the boat. Anglers love makos for their insane fight. Once hooked, they'll make blistering runs and leap clear out of the water. It's an arm-wrenching battle that can last hours. Their meat is also prized for its quality. Here's a pro tip: Use wire leaders at least 15 feet long. Makos have razor-sharp teeth and will often bite the line above a short leader. Also, be ready for anything - these sharks are known to jump into boats! It's an adrenaline rush you won't forget.

Blacktip Shark

Shortfin Mako Shark

Blacktip sharks are a popular target here in Panama City Beach, typically growing to about 5 feet long. You'll find them cruising the shallows near beaches and in bays, often in water less than 100 feet deep. These sharks are known for their acrobatic jumps and quick runs when hooked, giving anglers an exciting fight. We usually have the best luck catching blacktips from spring through fall when the water's warmer. They're attracted to oily fish, so we'll chum with ground-up mackerel or herring to bring them in close. Live bait like mullet or blue runners works great too. Folks love targeting blacktips because they're abundant, feisty, and good eating if you decide to keep one. Just be ready for some high-flying action - these sharks are known to leap clear out of the water! Here's a local tip: When you feel that first bite, let the shark run with it for a few seconds before setting the hook. That'll help ensure a solid hookup in the corner of the mouth. Tight lines!
