Fins and Family Fishing's nearshore shark fishing charters feature great shark fishing excitement within 3 miles of the beaches of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Our Orange Beach shark fishing charters feature the opportunity ti catch several species of the worlds greatest predators such as Bull Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Finetooth, Hammerhead, Sharpnose and more. Nearshore shark fishing charters are considered best for ages ten and up, guests under 300 pounds, and groups of four of fewer. Our private shark fishing charters are offered year round and feature trips of three and four hours and rates to fit most any budget. Nearshore shark fishing charters frequently focus on drifting live and dead baits, dropping bottom rigs under chum, and fishing drift lines. While most sharks are heavily protected and are not legal to harvest, some species can be kept and eaten. We feel sharks are a valuable part of our local ecosystem and we do not kill sharks just to harvest fins, jaws, or to hang dead for a few pictures. We instead focus on harvesting legal species to eat and then safely taking pictures and videos and honoring those we will not eat by releasing it safely back into the wild.
