What a great experience.  I love fishing for sharks.  I have caught many from a boat, but never from the beach.  Knowing it was going to be a long, cold evening, Captain Dustin went out of his way to make sure Jeff and I were comfortable, including chairs, a fire, beverages, a near-by port-a-poddy and the music of our choice. 

After several hours of inactivity, the moon came out at 10:27.  A few minutes later, we had a strike and landed a nice 6-foot sand shark (nose to the tip of the tail).  It put up a great fight, much more of challenge than bringing in similar sized sharks from a boat.  Jeff and I teamed up to land it.  Captain and his team, had it photographed, tagged for NOAA, and released.within minutes. We were very proud to contribute to shark research.  The experience was more than just fishing, it was an adventure.  Captain Dustin, his team and Jeff and I have also become fast friends. 

I went on the trip with Dustin and his helper, Reed. They where both very knowledgeable and knew what they where doing the whole time. They were engaged and worked for the sharks the whole time and taught me so much I didn’t already know and I fish a lot. Very eye opening experience and would recommend it to anyone who likes to fish in any way.

FYI, bringing extra Busch light for the captain Dustin earns you brownie points!

We highly recommend the beach fishing with New Smyrna Beach Shark Hunters. Location was convenient and easy to get to. The crew was friendly and personable, and we felt like we had made good friends by the end of the night. While we didn’t catch our target, it certainly wasn’t for lack of trying.  The crew worked hard from the start, right up to the last minutes. We had a great time, and will try again, hoping for less wind and current.  Overall, a terrific experience!
