This 6-hour fishing charter with Guide Kevin of Catterman Adventures took place on a Sunday in August along the Cape May shoreline. Targeting sharks and stingrays during prime evening hours, this experience combines land-based fishing techniques with local knowledge of Delaware Bay's nocturnal species activity. The trip provides all necessary gear and covers the fundamentals of night fishing for larger species in protected waters.
Guide Kevin 'Catterman' of Catterman Adventures led this 6-hour fishing charter on Sunday, August 16th from the shores of Lewes, Delaware. The experience runs from 6:00 P.M. to midnight, perfectly timing the prime feeding window when sharks and stingrays are most active in Delaware Bay's calm waters. This shore-based trip accommodates up to 2 guests and includes all fishing tackle and equipment needed for the adventure.
Kevin provides comprehensive guidance on technique and gear setup as you move between productive spots along the shoreline. All equipment is included, and he'll match his approach to your skill level, whether you're new to shark fishing or have previous experience. The protected bay waters make this an ideal introduction to targeting larger species without requiring a boat.

The magic of this trip happens after sunset when the bay comes alive. Working the shoreline at night adds genuine excitement as you wait for that telltale pull on your line. The calm waters of Delaware Bay provide ideal conditions for learning and successfully landing sharks and rays from land. Guide Kevin's local expertise ensures you're positioned at the most productive spots, moving strategically as conditions shift throughout the evening.
Night fishing brings its own unique atmosphere - the focus becomes heightened, and the takes are often explosive. Whether you connect with a powerful shark or a spirited stingray, each encounter tests your technique and composure. Kevin's experience with these species means you'll understand what's happening on the other end of your line and how to respond effectively.
Fishing for sharks and stingrays from shore is fundamentally different from offshore pursuits. Delaware Bay's protected waters and sandy bottom create ideal conditions for these species to hunt at night. The bay's ecosystem supports healthy populations, making evening hours particularly productive. Working from the shoreline, you'll use specific tackle configurations and casting techniques suited to these powerful fish.
The experience teaches respect for these often-misunderstood predators. Sharks and stingrays are intelligent hunters with distinct behaviors. Watching how they respond to bait, the strength they display when hooked, and their movements in the shallows provides insight into their nature. Guide Kevin shares local knowledge about species habits, seasonal patterns, and what conditions draw them closer to shore.
The night setting transforms the fishing experience entirely. Without the daytime boat traffic and visual stimulation, the water becomes your primary focus. You develop an intimate connection to the subtle signs - the slight resistance before a strike, the distinctive feel of different species on your line. Time moves differently during night fishing, each hour feeling concentrated and purposeful.
This 6-hour evening trip requires minimal preparation but substantial focus. The experience is designed for up to 2 guests, creating an intimate learning environment. Guide Kevin provides all necessary tackle, rods, and terminal gear - you bring comfortable clothing appropriate for evening beach conditions and a willingness to engage actively with the fishing process.
Starting at 6:00 P.M., you'll have several hours of twilight fishing before full darkness sets in. The transition brings noticeable changes in activity patterns as nocturnal predators become more aggressive. Dress in layers, as bay breezes can cool significantly after sunset. Comfortable footwear suited for sandy shoreline is advisable. The experience is physically moderate - you'll be casting, retrieving, and potentially fighting fish, but there's also downtime between takes for hydration and brief rest.
Kevin manages all logistics, moving you to different positions as needed and adjusting tactics based on what the fish are doing. Your role is to stay engaged, follow his guidance, and bring enthusiasm for learning. The bay remains relatively protected throughout the tide cycle, making this a safer introduction to bigger species than offshore alternatives.
