Shark Fishing & Fireworks: Ocean City's Ultimate 4th

Ready for a 4th of July you'll never forget? Hop aboard our 3-hour Fireworks Shark Trip and get ready to reel in some serious excitement. We're talking big sharks, bright skies, and the best seat in the house for Ocean City's spectacular fireworks show. It's the perfect combo of fishing and festivity – and trust me, once you've experienced it, you'll wonder why you ever celebrated on land.

Night Fishing with a Bang

Picture this: You're out on the water as the sun sets, rod in hand, waiting for that telltale tug. Suddenly, the sky erupts in a dazzling display of red, white, and blue. That's the magic of our 4th of July trip. We leave the dock at 7:30 PM, just in time to get you settled and fishing before the fireworks kick off. You'll be targeting some of the ocean's most powerful predators while enjoying a light show that puts anything on land to shame. And don't worry about gear – we've got you covered with top-notch equipment and a crew that knows these waters like the back of their hand.

Shark Fishing 101

If you've never gone after sharks before, you're in for a treat. We use heavy-duty gear and chum the waters to attract these big boys. Once we've got 'em interested, it's all about patience and quick reflexes. When a shark takes the bait, hold on tight – these guys don't go down without a fight. Our crew will be right there with you, offering tips and making sure you're handling the tackle safely. It's an adrenaline rush like no other, especially when you're doing it under a sky full of fireworks.

Meet the Shortfin Mako

Our main target on this trip is the shortfin mako shark, and let me tell you, these aren't your average fish. Makos are the speedsters of the shark world, known to clock in at over 60 mph when they're really booking it. They're also famous for their acrobatics – don't be surprised if you see one leap clear out of the water during a fight. These sharks typically range from 6 to 10 feet long, but bigger ones aren't uncommon. The best part? Mako meat is considered some of the tastiest in the shark family, so if you land a legal one, you might just have your 4th of July dinner sorted.

Makos are most active in our waters during the warmer months, making this July trip prime time for hooking into one. They're attracted to the same baitfish that draw in tuna, so where there's one, there's often the other. Keep an eye out for their distinctive pointed snout and metallic blue coloring – it's a sight that'll get your heart racing every time.

Time to Lock in Your Trip

Look, I've been running charters in Ocean City for years, and I can tell you this 4th of July trip is something special. Where else can you battle sharks and watch fireworks at the same time? It's the kind of experience that turns first-timers into regulars and gives seasoned anglers a whole new appreciation for nighttime fishing.

We've only got room for six guests, so don't wait to book your spot. Whether you're looking to make some unforgettable family memories or just want to fish with your buddies in style, this is the trip for you. Give us a call or hit that 'Book Now' button – we'll take care of the rest. Just remember to bring your camera and maybe a light jacket – Ocean City nights can get breezy, even in July.

One last thing – we want to keep things transparent, so heads up that there might be a fuel surcharge if marina prices go over $4 a gallon. It's not common, but it's best to check with us before you book if you're concerned. And remember, deposits are non-refundable, so make sure you're good to go before you lock it in.

Alright, that's enough talk. Time to get you out on the water for some shark fishing and fireworks. Trust me, once you've done the 4th of July Reel Naughty style, you'll never want to celebrate any other way. Let's make some memories!

Shortfin Mako Shark

Shortfin makos are the speed demons of the shark world, clocking in at over 30 mph. These powerful predators average 6-10 feet long and put up one heck of a fight. We typically find them in the open ocean, often near the surface but they'll dive deep too. Summer and early fall are prime time for makos off Ocean City. Anglers love targeting makos for their acrobatic jumps and sheer power on the line. Their meat is also top-notch eating. Fair warning though - these sharks are smart and will use every trick to get free, even jumping into boats! My go-to trick is chumming with a mix of ground mackerel and tuna to get them interested. Then I'll use live bluefish as bait - makos can't resist 'em. Make sure you've got heavy gear - at least 50 lb class tackle. And keep your eyes peeled - once hooked, these guys like to go airborne!
