    shark fishing

    6 Hour – Shark (Landbased) (AM) on September 26, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 children

    I met up with Eli early on a friday morning, the target for the day was sharks. We went out onto the beach he gave me a run down of the best time the sharks should be coming by and we set up and waited. Almost immediately when the “window” opened up we landed a 9’ lemon shark. I was impressed with Eli’s knowledge of the local waters. I ended up booking a second day with him and chatching another big shark. Eli is super friendly, he even took my kids out on the kayak to drop the bait. 10/10 if your looking for a fishing guide who gives a shit and can get you put on some fish, then book with my new lowcountry friend Eli!

    Great Day with The Salty Savage Experience

    6 Hour – Shark (Landbased) (AM) on July 25, 2025 • 6 adults

    We had the best day with Eli, The Salty Savage Experience! We caught 3 monster sharks including a bull! My teenage son had a blast! The beach is beautiful and we felt like we had it all to ourselves. Better experience than being stuck on a boat and better interactions with the sea life! Eli hustles and is an expert at reeling g in the big sharks! Planning on trying the night fishing excursion next year! Don’t miss out! (Bathrooms available on location)

    7 sharks, 3 different species, and an amazing experience!!

    6 Hour Trip – Shark (Landbased) on July 23, 2024 • 2 adults

    If you have thought of going shark fishing, book with the Salty Savage Experience!! Eli and his team are set up to give you the best experience. They brought the best baits and operated as a well oiled machine. They know the area, the tides and the sharks. We were set up and hooked up quickly. The time went by so fast. We caught black tips, a fine tooth, & 2 lemons the largest being 8.5 feet! I would highly recommend this trip and plan to come back soon!

    Do it

    6 Hour Trip – Shark (Landbased) on October 15, 2024 • 2 adults

    These guys are on it. It’s unconventional bc it’s on the beach but they’ve got the system. We caught bull sharks and sandbars at the end of the season. Wish we had got there during the summer when it was warmer. Eli put in work getting the shark to the wash and AJ put in work helping us reel them in. 10/10. I’ve fished for sharks offshore and this was the best experience from the guys to the equipment. Bigger rods and reels with a fighting belt.

    Great guys, unfavorable conditions.

    6 Hour Trip – Shark (Landbased) on August 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    Unfortunately our trip to catch sharks did not yield any catches. That is not however a knock on Eli and Jerry. They are a great couple of guys who do this a lot, and they obviously said from the very beginning that there is no guarantee. That’s not for a lack of trying either. They pulled out all the stops and threw everything they could at the attempts to carch some fish…. to include the kitchen sink! We did fortunately have a lot of great conversation and a lot of laughs. While this trip didn’t go as originally intended it wasn’t a total bust, and again I can’t stress this enough…. It wasn’t due to any fault from the crew. Sometimes fhe fish just aren’t around or biting! I’m calling a mulligan on it though and we will be back to get a do over…. Next time with a lot of fish to show for it! Thabks for your efforts Eli and Jerry. You’re good guys, We’ll be back to get our redemption. See you down the way, may you have tight lines and fair seas! take it easy.
