Before You Go
What to Expect
You do not need gear, experience, or any idea what you are doing. You need shoes you can get wet and the willingness to stay up late. Here is exactly how the night runs.
4–6 Hours, After Dark
No Experience Needed
Max 4 Rods
All Gear Provided
What You Bring
Four things,
and that is it
Shoes you can get wet
You will be standing in the wash at some point. Old sneakers or strapped sandals, not flip-flops you care about.
A layer for after midnight
South Florida gets cooler on the sand than people expect, especially with wind and spray. A hoodie is usually enough.
Water and food
Four to six hours is a long time. Bring what you want to drink and eat. There is nowhere to buy anything at 2 a.m.
Your permit and license
Every angler 16 and up carries their own. We walk you through signing up before the trip — it takes about 30 minutes and is mostly free.
What We Bring
Everything
between you
and the shark
- Rods, reels, and every rig
- Bait and the paddleboard
- Fighting harness and belt
- Lights, chairs, and cutters
The gear is the same setup I fish myself. See the full spec.
Honest Answers
Things people
ask quietly
Is it physical? The harness carries the weight, not your arms. If you can stand up for a while, you can do this. A big fish can take twenty minutes or an hour, and you can hand the rod off any time you want.
Do I have to touch the shark? No. Your guide handles every leader, hook, and release. You stay on the sand and the shark stays in the water.
Can kids come?Anglers 16 and up need their own permit and license. Younger kids are welcome on the sand with a parent and fish under an adult's supervision.
What if nothing bites? That happens, and nobody honest promises otherwise. You still get a night on a dark beach with heavy rods out, which is most of why people come.
Do I get photos? Yes. Quick ones, in the wash, while the shark stays wet. The release always wins over the photo.
The Night
How it actually
goes
We meet at a legal public beach around sunset and rig up together. Baits go out past the sandbar on a paddleboard once it is dark. Then the rods sit in the spikes, the clickers go on, and we wait — which is the part nobody expects to enjoy and most people do.
When a clicker screams, you clip into the harness and it is your fish. Everything after that is coaching, and then a release in the shallow wash.
