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.

They are mainly meat eaters and the larger ones tend to enjoy sea lions and seals. Some of them will even eat sea turtles and otters if they are in the vicinity of their hunting grounds. They do prefer to eat live prey but have no problem feeding on dead carcasses if food is scarce.

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.

The Mako Shark can be found in both warm and cold waters and some prefer living close to the shore while others in deeper waters. They are considered to be quite aggressive especially if they find people in their territory. Just because they are a smaller size does not mean that they are scared of humans and will not attack.

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.

Massachusetts is known to be one of the best places worldwide where sharks can be caught. The Monster Shark Tournament is held every year in the Oak Bluffs which is a town on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Many tourists arrive each year to see this tournament and also to see the beautiful cottages that resemble gingerbread houses.
