The Reds are on fire on Fort Myers Beach

It’s that time of year again; time to hunt for sharks on our shark fishing trips! Many people don’t know this, but shark can be tasty eating. Here, in the Gulf of Mexico, sharks such as Great Whites are rare. However, you can easily find a Hammerhead, Bull, Tiger, Lemon, Atlantic Sharp Nose, Black Tip, or Bonnet shark swimming the warm waters of Fort Myers Beach, especially during the summer season. Don’t worry, you normally won’t find them unless you’re chumming the waters with bait, which is exactly what Luck o’ The Irish Fishing Charters is great at doing! We love this time of year because shark fishing is a great sport. Hooking into one is such a fun feeling, and reeling it in is twice the satisfaction. We offer morning, day and nighttime shark trips at Luck o’ The Irish Fishing Charters. We offer these trips at $650 for 4 hours, and $100 per extra hour with a maximum of four anglers per boat. You’ll get a chance to see the different species of shark that Southwest Florida has to offer in the back bay and near the shoreline of Fort Myers Beach. Shark fishing is the only style of fishing we use chum for. Some of the bait that we use is Bonita and Pin fish. You’ll have the opportunity to keep your shark for dinner (within legal perimeters) or choose catch-and-release. Shark fishing is a growing sport, which means slots fill up pretty quickly for us this time of year. To book your trip in a timely manner, don’t delay! Schedule your fishing charter with Capt. Rich today!
