Everyone Loves The Shark Fishing Cape Cod Offers

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.

The highest point is Sankaty Head and it stands about thirty four meters about sea level. It has a total area of three hundred and four miles of which forty five square miles is land. The climate can range between warm summers and cool winters to hot and humid summers and sometime severely cold winters.

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.

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.

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.
