Fisherman - Debt Survivor - Shark Aficionado - Tagging the 1st Great White Sharks in the South - Featured on @sharkweek @SInow
Hilton Head, SC
Joined January 2014
Great white shark we tagged a couple of days ago swimming off right as we popped the hook. You can see the seal scratches on his face from one he probably surprised last summer. Naming this guy Aftco for the great support through the yrs. He’s already pinging away off SC.

Went 2 for 2 on great whites yesterday. Finally some nice weather and put a great plan together. The 2nd one went full airborne, was insane. We got both satellite tagged and fed. Thanks to the @A_WhiteShark for the tags and interest in our sharks! More pics after I run my dog

Fog pros- nobody can see where you’re fishing. Fog cons- nobody can see you fishing.

Great White Shark “Knox” pinging a lot the last couple of days off Myrtle Beach. We caught this guy off Hilton Head Dec 4, & I think he’s the only shark we’ve tagged that stayed off SC the whole winter. I don’t blame him. Many thanks to the @A_WhiteShark for sending the tags.

Finally getting some good days, and the sand tigers are showing up. Great White fishing towards the end of the week 🤞🏼

Lots of hanging around the dock lately as the wind refuses to lighten up. This might be the toughest winter I’ve ever seen in trying to get out. But it could be worse, thoughts are with the Northeastern part of the US that lost power and is under 2 feet of snow.

What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine. An eating machine. Now all this machine does is swim, and eat, and make little sharks, and that’s all. 📸 Taylor Horton

Always makes me a little more nervous when the camera guys want to hop in.

Pretty wild scene off NC a few days ago. Dead entangled right whale getting annihilated by an enormous amount of sharks. Only the skull was left in less than 6 days. 📸 - Clearwater marine aquarium

In South Florida this week and just found out that they don’t have to pay annual property tax on boats. 🤯 ..or motors. South Carolina’s biggest scam.

Great White Shark “Freeman” pinging this morning 12 miles off Cape Canaveral. Caught this girl Dec 4 off Hilton Head and she’s finally headed south to waters not as miserably cold. Going to be interesting to see if she goes into the Gulf. Thanks to @A_WhiteShark for the tags

Got a little Great White Shark yesterday. First time I’ve tried a spot off Charleston. Awfully cold going up, threshold of lunacy…but we made it worth it. We put a tag in him from the @A_WhiteShark, popped the hook out and shoved him off.

Great White “Knox” pinging in this morning offshore of Charleston. We caught him Dec 4th off HH, and might be the first GW to head north, after release this early in the migration. Looks like he’s at least hanging out in warmer water. Thanks for the tags @A_WhiteShark

Christmas Eve Eve Great White tonight. Pics and video are pretty bad, but we got a late start and didn’t have a lot of sunlight to work with. This one showed up right as we were leaving. Thanks to the @A_WhiteShark for the tags. Merry Christmas!

Working in collaboration with @ChipHHI, AWSC Senior Scientist @MegalodonWinton successfully tagged three white sharks off South Carolina, now trackable on our Sharktivity App. "Freeman" and "Knox" are already pinging in!

What do we do when white sharks leave Cape Cod for the season? We study their movements in the southeast! Thank you to @ABCNews4 for featuring our collaboration with @ChipHHI!
The ocean’s most formidable predators are often found just off the South Carolina coast this time of year. Great white sharks favor winter conditions in SC, and one Hilton Head Island fisherman has learned how to find them, and help scientists study them. https://t.co/w22S42Qqsd

Great White Shark “Freeman” that we caught last week, pinging off the Georgia coast a lot the last few days. You’ll be able to track her whereabouts on Sharktivity app. Thanks to the @A_WhiteShark for the tags and interest in our sharks.
