Highlights of Inshore Bottom Fishing Adventure

This Cedar Point charter showcased the diversity of our local inshore waters with multiple species landed during peak summer conditions. The 23-inch Bonnethead Shark and 21-inch Redfish demonstrated the quality fishing available just minutes from our launch point. Clear water visibility and active fish behavior made for ideal conditions, with bottom fishing and surf casting producing steady action throughout the afternoon.

The variety of techniques employed—from traditional bottom rigs to trolling presentations—kept the crew engaged while maximizing opportunities for different species. Cedar Point's unique geography creates perfect habitat for both sharks and drum species, offering anglers the chance to experience diverse fishing action in a single trip.

Local Species Insights: Atlantic Sharpnose Shark

Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks thrive in Cedar Point's shallow, warm waters during summer months, making them a reliable target for inshore anglers. These requiem sharks prefer depths of 3-15 feet over sandy bottoms and grass flats, where they hunt small fish and crustaceans. Their aggressive feeding behavior and strong fighting ability make them exciting catches on medium tackle, with fresh cut bait and live shrimp proving most effective. June through August offers peak action as water temperatures reach optimal levels for shark activity.
