Bull Sharks, Lemon Sharks, Black tip Sharks, Hammerhead
Sharks, Tiger Sharks, and Nurse Sharks… just to name the
more popular species. While targeting sharks, we also catch

Here in Myrtle Beach, shark fishing charters are mostly done in the protected waters of the inlets and at the Jetties with the
fishing grounds just a few minutes from the pickup point. While out on your trip you will see many of the historic sites and natural
beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Captain Jordan Pate caters to anglers of all skill levels so virtually no experience is needed for shark fishing in Myrtle Beach,
however please be advised that some sharks we catch often push the 200lb mark so be prepared to do battle with a fish of a
lifetime. Shark fishing charters are great fun for the entire family and especially the kids.

While some species of sharks are available for consumption here in Myrtle Beach, we take great pride in our natural resources and
sharks are a vital part of our eco-system, therefore all sharks are catch and release only. Ensuring that there will be plenty of fish
for the next generation to enjoy is our policy on sharks.
