You Will Love Your Shark Fishing Cape Cod Holiday

By Iva Cannon


Many people dream of being able to go deep sea fishing and to catch that big one. This dream can become a reality with the efficient shark fishing Cape Cod provides. There are many different charters that guarantee a catch of some or other species of fish as well as ensuring that one has a great time doing it.

This is a beautiful peninsula in the North-eastern United States that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean. It has many wonderful beaches and during the summer months it is a very popular tourist destination. Two of the closest well known islands are Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. In order to get to these islands a ferry needs to be boarded.

Nantucket is only fifty kilometres south of Cape Cod and the population on this island is about ten thousand but during the summer months this figure can raise to about fifty thousand. According to the Forbes magazine the value of the houses in this area are among the highest in the United States. In 1966 it was designated a National Historic Landmark because it has the finest surviving architectural and environmental examples dating back to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.

Many people like to go out on these boats just to witness the arial acrobatics that the sharks perform once they have been hooked. In some cases Blue Sharks have even come up from under the boat and taken bait out of people's hands. Many have reported seeing dolphins as well as Finn back Whales and Humpback whales as well. It is truly an awesome thing to experience leaving the image in one's mind for many years to come.

On many occasions on the way home from a hard days fishing countless people have reported seeing grey seals playing in the sea and sunbathing on shore. A lucky few have even witnessed some sharks feeding on them as well. For the soft at heart it could be upsetting to see the sharks toss the seals into the air playing with them before having their meal.

Their boat is a thirty five foot Duffy and is custom made especially for fishing in deeper waters. The engine is four hundred and ninety horsepower and the top cruising speed is twenty knots. The cabin has been fitted with very comfortable bunks and there is plenty of seating in the wheel house. There is also place below deck where Giant Bluefin Tuna as well as Shark can be kept.

The boat receives annual United States Coast Guard safety inspections and also has an inflatable life raft. All life jackets will fit an adult as well as children and there are fire extinguishers and signal flairs on board as well. A searchlight and first aid kits are also stashed away in case of emergencies.

It is recommended that one brings some short waterproof boots but during March, April and May they need to be warm. Some or other boat shoes should be bought with during the warmer months as well as coolers with ice and plastic bags. Also pack whatever one is likely to eat and drink as well as cameras and don't forget the sun glasses.
