4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on August 1, 2024

My husband and I took our 7 and 10 year old sons on a 4 hour trip! The crew were nothing short of amazing with them! We caught our first shark within 5 minutes of having the bait in the water. If you are looking for a crew that is very family oriented and knows how to make 4 hours feel like 30 they are definitely the crew to have! Just a few highlights: Excitement filled the air at 5:15 in the morning! This trip was nothing short of amazing because of the MandaLu crew! They put us on sharks immediately and we had a blast reeling in shark after shark! 🦈10 yo reeled in a 200 pound Sand Tiger Shark 💨Fun fact: Tiger sharks do in fact fart and burp! This might have been the funniest part of the trip for the 2 nasty boys as they learned this fact when bubs first shark let loose! 🎣7 yo and I tag teamed reeling in our second shark of the day - let’s just say reeling these suckers in are not for the weak! Expect every muscle to ache the next day! 🦈🦈 Husband and 10 yo hooked 2 sharks at the same time and fought them both to the boat! 🧑🧑🧒🧒As a family we caught over 10 sharks!

4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 10, 2024

We had a great experience on our shark fishing trip! Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable and his enthusiasm had us all excited to fish. We had five in our group and everyone surfaced a shark. Best of all, we had a lot of fun doing so! We caught sand tiger and dusky sharks and we learned a lot about fishing in the local area. Captain Brenden was very helpful in ensuring we had a productive trip. Nice surprise in the end to learn that the crew took photos and videos and shared them with us. Great experience and highly recommend!

8 Hour Trip on June 28, 2024

Captain n crew were true professionals. They found the fish, showed us how to get them on the hook, and kept up with our squad measuring for keepers and baiting our lines! First mate Conner was very attentive and genuinely gave best effort to keep the fun flowing from the moment we stepped on board MandaLu. Great day on the water thanks to Captain n crew!!!

8 Hour Trip on May 18, 2024

The first half of our trip was slow, but Captain Jeff and crew were determined to get us some fish. After changing spots a couple times, the Seabass started biting, and they didn’t stop. Big shout out to the crew for keeping us out on the water for longer than planned because the action was so good. Great crew, great time!

Great time on the MandaLu. Very experienced lead crew fisherman and shark catcher/releaser. Didn’t lose a bite and sharks were big! Roomy boat for fishing and relaxing. Just do it!
