Bravo, Capt. Dustin! What an experience! I visited Daytona with my family and, rather on a whim, I decided to take my 10 year old sons shark fishing. I contemplated giving it a go for sharks on my own without a guide since I am an avid angler with varied skills and I brought my own heavy surf fishing gear. But with experience we learn to “leave it to the pros”, and I’m really glad I followed my instincts on this point. Capt. Dustin is a pro at shark fishing, and passionate shark fishing!  It takes a fishing nut to really know a fishing nut! Having the tackle and knowing a good beach is a fraction of what Dustin brings to the experience. In the first 30 seconds I knew Capt. Dustin was a fun and engaging guy and within five minutes I saw that he was a passionate and knowledgeable and charter guide, confirming to me that I made the right choice for this beach fishing adventure by booking with NSB Shark Hunters. He and his first mate Shel have their program nailed down tight and my boys and I learned so much about the right ways to equip for shark fishing, how to hook, fight and land them (safely). Tagging them for the NOAA and Dustin’s commitment to careful shark handling for the health of the sharks was particularly rewarding. We had great luck with 4 sharks landed and several other missed chances owed to what I’ll shyly call my own “operator error”. So goes fishing, right? My boys handled the whole thing fighting 55-65” black tip sharks, and though not necessary we caught our bait while we were at it! The experience that Capt. Dustin facilitated was for me truly a father’s dream. To be able to bring such an adventure to my boys - battling an apex ocean predator with my sons - was a memory maker among the very best. Dustin and NSB Shark Hunters: a sincere thank you for being an educator, a good sport, an entertainer, and a heck of a fishing guide. Thanks my man! Tight lines!

Took my son for his 18th birthday. Him and his 11 year old sister both reeled in a Shark- hers was 6.5 feet and his was a little shorter. Both crew were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They made it an extremely enjoyable experience. In particular, they made sure both my son and daughter had the opportunity to reel in a shark and made sure my daughter didn’t lose her shark. We already want to go again!

We’ve been visiting NSB for 50+ yrs and wanted to give night time shark fishing a try. Had a great time with Dustin & Cole. We had a few good bites, just no catches. A beautiful night, bright shining moon over the ocean, good tunes, best of all met new friends!! We will definitely be hooking up Dustin & Cole next trip to NSB for shark fishing!! 🎣 This is your team right here, look no further!!

We didn’t land any sharks, but Captain Dustin and his wife Shell were fantastic—super welcoming, great with the kids, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. The kids had a blast, even without a catch. We’d definitely book again—just remember, the sharks don’t always RSVP! 😄
