Why Families Keep Coming Back

Species You'll Want to Hook

Southern Stingray: These flat, diamond-shaped creatures are a real crowd-pleaser. They glide through the water like underwater kites and put up a surprising fight when hooked. Kids love watching them "fly" through the water as we reel them in. Stingrays are around all year, but they're especially active in the warmer months. Don't worry – we'll teach everyone how to handle them safely, and the looks on your kids' faces when they see one up close are priceless.

Atlantic Sharpnose Shark: Now here's a catch that'll get the adrenaline pumping! These small sharks are perfect for our family trips – big enough to be exciting, but not so big they're overwhelming. They're quick, feisty, and put up a great fight on light tackle. Sharpnose sharks are common in our waters from spring through fall, and they're often the highlight of the trip for many young anglers. It's not every day you can say you caught a shark, after all!

Time to Book Your Spot

Ready to make some waves with the family? This 2-hour trip is the perfect taste of Brunswick's fishing scene without overwhelming the little ones. It's just long enough to get everyone excited about fishing, but short enough to keep attention spans in check. Remember, the memories you make out here last way longer than any souvenir. So round up the crew, grab some sunscreen, and let's get out on the water. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your family's next big adventure. Give us a call or book online – we can't wait to show you what Brunswick fishing is all about!

Atlantic Sharpnose Shark

Southern Stingrays are impressive creatures, with females reaching up to 5 feet across and 50 pounds. You'll often spot them gliding along the sandy bottom in our shallow coastal waters, especially around piers and in estuaries. They're most active in warmer months but can be caught year-round. Fishing for stingrays is a unique experience – they put up a strong, steady fight that'll test your stamina. It's like reeling in a big, flat kite. Kids especially get a kick out of their alien-like appearance. Just remember, we always release these guys to keep our local population healthy. To hook one, use live bait like small fish or shrimp. Let it sit on the bottom and be patient. When you feel a bite, don't yank – give a slow, steady pull to set the hook. Then get ready for a workout! My best tip: if you're fishing from shore, try to lead them away from your feet. That tail isn't just for show, and you don't want to find out firsthand why they're called stingrays.

Atlantic Sharpnose Shark

Southern Stingray

Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks are small but feisty, usually 2-3.5 feet long and 6-9 pounds. You'll find them year-round in our warm coastal waters, especially near the surf zone and in bays. These little sharks put up a good fight for their size, making them fun for anglers of all skill levels. They're not picky eaters, so almost any bait works – live or dead. Just be ready when they strike, as they're quick and strong swimmers. Kids love catching these sharks because they're manageable but still exciting. Plus, you get to see those distinctive white spots along their sides up close. Watch out for their sharp teeth, though. I always tell folks to bring a good landing net and wear gloves when handling them. One tip: if you're after other fish and keep losing bait to these guys, try using slightly larger hooks. It won't stop them completely, but it'll give your target fish a better chance. Whether you're looking for a tasty meal or just want the thrill of reeling in a shark, Atlantic Sharpnose are a great option for our nearshore trips.
