The Southeast Atlantic Region FYVE Sharks

The Long Pursuit

This isn't a one-day challenge.

You might get on the board with a Bull and a Lemon early. Then the real hunt begins. A Tiger may take another trip. Your Hammerhead may come in another season. And the Sand Tiger could be the shark that keeps calling you back.

That's what makes completing Shark FYVE mean something.

The hunt is the reward.

Completing Shark FYVE is the legacy.

100% Catch & Release

Catch. Document. Release.

Every Shark FYVE qualifying catch is catch-and-release. The goal isn't what you bring back to the dock. It's the encounter, the accomplishment and watching that shark swim away.

Southeast Atlantic Region

One Coast. Five Sharks.

Your five don't have to come from the same trip, the same captain or even the same state. A qualifying catch counts toward the region it was caught in, so build your Shark FYVE in the Southeast Atlantic Region over time.

  • Georgia
  • South Carolina
  • North Carolina

The South Florida Region ends at Palm Beach County, and Virginia north belongs to the future Northeast Atlantic Region — there is no overlap between Shark FYVE regions.

$19.65/ year

A price with a purpose. Our fishing legacy began in 1965.

Heritage

Why $19.65?

Because 1965 is where our story began.

The Baumgarten family's sportfishing legacy in Key West began in 1965 with Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing Charters. Shark FYVE carries that fishing heritage forward with a new mission: giving anglers around the world something extraordinary to pursue while promoting responsible catch-and-release shark fishing.

The Southeast Atlantic Region is waiting.
