Get ready for a heart-pounding evening on the water with King Slayer Charters' quick cast guided shark fishing trip. We're talking about 3 hours of pure adrenaline as you target some of the ocean's top predators under the cover of darkness. This isn't your average fishing trip - it's a chance to test your skills against some of the most powerful fish in the sea, right off the coast of Panama City Beach.
From April 1st through October 31st, we run these night shark trips starting around 7:10 PM. But don't worry if that time doesn't work for you - we're flexible and can adjust the departure to fit your schedule. The captain's got all the gear you need, so you just need to show up ready for action. One thing to keep in mind: live bait isn't included, so either bring your own or give us a heads up, and we'll sort you out. Trust me, using the right bait can make all the difference when you're after these big boys.
Shark fishing at night is a whole different ball game. We'll head out to the deep waters where the big ones lurk, and that's when the fun begins. The captain will set you up with heavy-duty rods and reels - this ain't no panfish we're after. We use a mix of techniques, from bottom fishing with chunky baits to slow-trolling live ones near the surface. The key is patience and being ready for that moment when your line suddenly goes tight. When a shark hits, hold on tight - the fight is on, and it's you against one of nature's perfect predators.

On these trips, we're primarily after the porbeagle shark, a cousin of the great white that's known for its power and fight. These sharks typically range from 4 to 8 feet long, with some monsters pushing 11 feet. They're fast, strong, and love cold water, which makes them a prime target in the evenings when they come up to feed. Porbeagles are known for their intelligence and endurance - hooking one is just the start of an epic battle that can last over an hour. What makes them such a blast to catch is their initial run - when a porbeagle feels the hook, it'll take off like a freight train, peeling line off your reel faster than you can blink. It's the kind of rush that keeps anglers coming back for more.
Look, if you're after a fishing trip that'll get your heart racing and give you stories to tell for years, this is it. With King Slayer Charters, you're not just going fishing - you're signing up for an adventure. We've got the knowledge, the gear, and the drive to put you on some serious sharks. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time going after the big ones, we've got you covered. Spaces fill up fast, especially during peak season, so don't wait. Grab your spot now, and get ready for a night of fishing you won't forget. Trust me, once you feel that first hit and hear that reel screaming, you'll be hooked for life.

Porbeagles are powerhouse sharks that'll test your skills. These torpedo-shaped bruisers average 5-7 feet but can hit 11 feet and 550 pounds. They're cold-water specialists, hanging out in deeper zones but coming up shallower at night. We find 'em mostly offshore, but they'll push in closer during summer. That's prime time to target them here. Porbeagles are prized for their strong fights and occasional airborne antics. They're opportunistic feeders, so a whole mackerel makes great bait. For gear, go heavy - their rough skin can shred lighter line. I like using a 7-10 foot rod with 200-400 pound mono. Here's a local tip: chum with some oily fish parts to get them interested. Once hooked, be ready for a battle. These sharks have serious stamina and won't give up easily.
