Virginia Beach Shark Fishing Charter

If you are into shark fishing and want to charter a boat in Virginia Beach to catch a shark, we have the trip for you. Most shark fishing in Virginia is catch and release however, upon request, if a shark is legal to catch, and retain, Matador Charters will do so, but not wastefully. The shark must be processed. It's worth noting that sharks that are caught and released over 6 feet in length are eligible for Virginia release citation trophy and if you release your trophy catch, the actual carcass of the shark is not needed to get a mount of the fish. Many taxidermy companies such as grays and fish unlimited have special deals with matador charters to get mounts and only measurements of the shark and photos are required to get a mount. Matador charters encourages safe catch and release of most sharks, but also understands that the fish of a lifetime when edible, should be brought home and eaten. Here are the Virginia beach shark fishing trips Matador charters offers:
 
Half day inshore shark fishing (4 hours $550 for up to six people) : mostly during the summer from June to October, inshore waters off Virginia Beach are teaming with sharks. This half day inshore shark fishing trip is a family favorite as this is a quick trip close to shore, and we safely show family's and children about shark fishing. The sharks we catch on this trip tend to be on the smaller end of the scale as far as shark sizes are concerned, usually 3 to 5 feet but people who are new to fishing in the ocean and kids love seeing these sharks. Most of the sharks we catch on this half day inshore shark charter fishing trip are released, but nonetheless they are fun to catch and we educate everyone about the sharks and they even get to have their picture with the sharks before they are released. The shark species commonly caught on this trip are typically blacktip, spinner, juvenile hammerhead, juvenile sandbar, juvenile bull, sharp nose, and occasionally we may see a larger shark on the half day shark trip.
 
Full day inshore shark fishing charter ($1000 up to 8 hours and up to 6 people June to October) This shark fishing charter is a little more for the seasoned angler looking to catch bigger sharks than the half day shark trip. On this full day inshore trip, we have more time to go further from the inlet and this gives us more options for targeting larger sharks. Typical species caught on this trip include all the species of the half day trip, plus sand tiger sharks, adult sandbar, adult bull, adult hammerhead sharks, and occasionally we will catch a tiger shark or dusky on this trip.
 
Feeding time happy hour inshore shark fishing trip (evenings June to October $1000 up to 6 hours up to 6 people) It is well known that sharks tend to bite best during the evening hours and during the first couple hours of darkness. This 6 hour evening fishing trip puts our charters where the sharks are when they are feeding. This trip breaks out the heavy tackle and targets big sharks, and often times we get results. Typical species caught are similar to the full day inshore shark fishing, however, the experience of shark fishing at night is so much fun and the sharks tend to be most cooperative during this time of day.
 
Offshore shark fishing charter (mostly year round $2000 up to 14 hours up to 6 anglers) This shark fishing charter is for the hard core charter group of anglers who want to catch monster sharks. This trip goes out to the deep where the monster sharks live and spends the day targeting big sharks. Anywhere from 30 to 60 miles offshore the huge pelagic sharks can be found roaming the ocean and we put out the big reels and the fighting chair and catch monster sharks on this trip.
 
Overnight shark fishing charter (mostly year round $3600 up to 36 hours up to 6 anglers) this trip spends a day and a half fishing targeting the biggest sharks in the ocean. On this trip we have caught huge hammerhead sharks, monster makos, and even a couple great white sharks amongst a multitude of other shark species. This is the longest trip we offer and produces the most results. Call for details about this shark fishing charter.

VA Beach Inshore Fishing Charters

In Virginia Beach we have very good fishing in our inshore waters, year round for a multitude of species. An inshore fishing trip can be a great option especially for families who want to get out and spend a day on the water. Inshore charter trips can be full, half, and three quarter day and are typically a much easier going relaxing fishing day than an offshore trip. The runs to and from the fishing grounds are shorter and we typically stay in the Atlantic Ocean or Chesapeake Bay where there is plenty to catch.
 
 
On an inshore trip out of Virginia beach, you never know what you are going to catch. In the winter months we typically catch striped bass, sea bass, flounder, tautog, bluefish and dogfish. During the summer months we catch sea bass, flounder, spot, croaker, spanish mackerel, cobia, bluefish, spadefish, red drum, black drum, several different species of sharks, and amberjacks. Our half day inshore trips are very popular with families during the summertime and are great for kids. On a half day inshore during the summer, you can typically plan to catch spanish mackerel, bluefish, lots of sharks, and an occasional cobia or red drum. There are many other options, but this is what we usually target and what is usually the most readily available to catch. Matador charters does a ron of inshore fishing and we know what's biting and how to get them.
 

VA Beach Shark Fishing Charters

VA Beach Shark Fishing Charters
 
The waters off Virginia Beach and Rudee Inlet are some of the best fishing grounds in the world for sharks. The nutrient rich waters of the Chesapeake bay, the Labrador current, and gulf stream all converge off the coast of Virginia creating a great place to fish for sharks. Matador charters does a LOT of shark fishing. Many people prefer to charter the boat for an inshore trip to catch sharks. This is a great option for the family. Although we do catch some really huge sharks inshore, most of the sharks we catch are smaller juvenile sharks like blacktip sharks, spinner sharks, hammerhead sharks, sharpnose sharks and bull sharks. These sharks are catch and release for the most part, but still very fun to catch and kids really have a blast watching these sharks come in and feed, and a little kid holding a shark makes a great photo.
 
Virginia Beach Shark Fishing
 
Do you want to catch a fish bigger than you? We can also fish for sharks on an offshore charter trip and an overnight charter trip. The sharks you will catch on these trips are huge. We use big baits, big rods, and we catch some really huge sharks offshore of Virginia Beach. Sharks are available offshore in Virginia most of the year and we regularly catch hammerhead sharks, mako sharks, dusky sharks, tiger sharks, and its not even all that uncommon to see a great white shark. These things are true beasts from the deep. They fight hard and are very impressive fish. Either way whether its inshore or offshore Matador charters can take you to catch the biggest meanest fish in the ocean.
