Exclusive Report for Ryan's Sharkin' Adventure

Ryan DuVernay, co-owner of 7 Mile Watersports in Marathon, had a hankering to try his hand at sharkin' with Capt. Chris Johnson and SeaSquared Charters. They set out from the 7 Mile Marina on an outgoing tide to test a new spot in about five feet of water just off the 7 Mile Bridge.

Less than an hour after coloring the water red and baiting it with a smorgasbord of irrestible shark treats, their first guests arrived in the form of stingrays. Close behind on the buffet line were bonnethead and nurse sharks. Finally, the guests of honor arrived, the lemon sharks.

Ryan set to action and caught a total of seven lemons, ranging in length from six to seven and a half feet. An eighth ran so hard and fast, when it broke off, the rod snapped back and whapped Ryan in the forehead. He proudly displayed his quarter inch shark ""wound"" back at the dock!

SeaSquared sharkin' adventures have become quite popular with experienced and novice anglers alike. It is especially good family fun fishing. SeaSquared practices 100% catch-and-release shark fishing using IGFA sanctioned circle hooks. All sharks are released unharmed to fight another day. To book your adventure, give us a call at 305-743-5305.
