St. Simons Island Shark Fishing with Island Lure Charters
It’s almost that time of the year when the shark season begins in the Golden Isle of Georgia! Captain Jeremy Petro of Island Lure Charters, also sometimes referred to as “Shark Boss,” is the ideal captain to get you up close with the sharks.

You can catch several types of sharks on any trip with Captain Jeremy, such as Hammerhead, Black Tip, Spinner, Atlantic Sharpnose, Black Nose, Lemon, Bull, Tiger, and Bonnethead sharks.
The Jekyll and Cumberland Islands are among the world’s largest breeding grounds for sharks. This is why there are so many species and numbers of sharks in the area. Since it’s a breeding ground, you can catch plenty of juvenile sharks, but there are also larger sharks out there looking for your hook. The Island Lure Charters Shark Trips are the most sought-after charters for anglers looking for some fun. During these nearshore trips, you’ll typically find sharks that are about 4′ to 6′ in size, but some can get even larger. Captain Jeremy will guide you to where the shrimp trawlers are because that’s where many sharks are feeding on what falls out of the net. Drifting behind these boats will put you on sharks and lots of them.
Island Lure Charters offers Shark Trips from late April to September, which take you along the stunning coastal barrier islands. There are three trip options available: 4, 6, and 8-hour trips. Each trip can accommodate a maximum of six anglers per charter. If you’re a larger group, Captain Jeremy can arrange transportation for your entire party.
With so many sharks in the water, it’s likely that you’ll catch one or more of these feisty fish on your charter trip with Island Lure Charters. On the Kids Trip and Inshore Charter, you can expect to find baby and juvenile sharks ranging in size from 1′ to 4′ long. However, if you want to experience the thrill of reeling in a large shark, you should book a Shark Charter with Captain Jeremy and Island Lure Charters. These charters are very popular and often sell out, so it’s best to book well in advance if you want a chance to catch the big one.
