You Will Love Your Shark Fishing Cape Cod Holiday

By Iva Cannon


There are over four hundred and forty different species of shark and they can then be further classified into eight different orders. Many of them are rather small while others can be quite large. They are fascinating creatures and it is no wonder that so many people love to do the sort of shark fishing Cape Cod offers.

The Magellan Fishing Charter knows which location would be best suited for the different species. They say the best bait is just east of Chatham and south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. The most abundant waters are around Cape Cod because of the warm and cold waters that mix.

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.

There are many charters that offer one to go out onto the sea and do some deep sea fishing. It need not only be shark fishing but Haddock and Cod as well as Tuna and Striped Bass and Bluefish. The Big Fish II Charters offer an exciting adventure and have over thirty years of experience in taking out avid fisherman.

They are known to be the fastest of the shark specie and their top speed can reach sixty miles an hour when hunting or migrating. Their normal speed is about thirty five miles an hour. They are the most hunted of the sharks because they are not large but trying to hook one could prove to be difficult and one will need lots of skill and patience.

They guarantee a catch each trip they make but that depends on the month. Cod, Haddock as well as Monk, Halibut, Wolf and Pollack can be caught during March to November where as Shark is more prone to be caught during June to October months. The Giant Bluefin Tuna is easier to catch during July to November and the medium Tuna during June to November. If one wishes to catch Striped Bass and Bluefish the best time would be from June to October.

People are asked to bring rain jackets and pants as well as warm clothing as the further out to sea one gets the cooler the air can become. Also do not forget the sun screen and sun glasses. Shoes are a must as no one will be allowed to fish bare foot and definitely no high heels. All fish that are caught will be filleted by the Captain and must be packed into zip lock freezer bags and put into a large cooler that is packed with ice.
