When You Plan To Try Shark Fishing Cape Cod Might Just Be The Place For You

By Joanna Walsh


There are so many people that love to do something different when going on holiday. A change of destination with different activities can make an ordinary holiday into a spectacular one. Something that should be tried and is guaranteed to bring a rush to all who try it is the Shark fishing Cape Cod offers.

In order to attract sharks the charters will use a method of chunking and chumming which is well known to get all sharks into a sort of frenzy and this is normally done off the side of the boat. No experience will be needed in order to catch a shark, the captain and the crew are all seasoned fisherman and are more than happy to show each person exactly what needs to be done. All the boats are equipped with well stocked first aid paraphernalia in case of an accident which very seldom happens.

They not only have very good eyesight but their hearing is well developed and they have a very acute sense of smell as well. The Great White has been seen to lift their heads above the water line and many that study this specie think that it might be a display to show their dominance. Others think that they do this in order to be able to spot any prey above water.

The second is the Great White or the Carcharodon Carcharias and weights anything from five thousand pounds and up. They generally can reach lengths of fifteen to twenty feet. They can be found in all of the oceans but especially in North America, Southern Africa and Australia. They have very sharp teeth that look very much like arrowheads and they are designed to slice and then remove large pieces of flesh.

Martha's Vineyard is also located just south of Cape Cod and also includes a smaller island by the name of Chappaquiddick. It was a part of the main mass but during a storm in 2007 is broke away. It is only about two hundred and sixty kilometres square and is not connected to the mainland by any means. The only way to land on this island is by air or ferry.

The Hammerhead Shark or the Sphyrna Makorran can reach lengths of about twenty feet and can weigh as much as one thousand pounds. They are very active and are mostly found in the warmer ocean waters. They love to eat squid and any species of fish it happens upon. Another one that hides at the bottom of the ocean floor is the Goblin shark. Their main preferred meal seems to be seals and sea lions but will also go for sting rays, crabs and mollusks.

There are many fishing charters that can guarantee that one will find and in most cases actually catch a shark. The village of Hyannis Barnstable Massachusetts has a ferry boat as well as an aviation connection to the very popular Nantucket Island. They will also be able to provide transportation to Martha's Vineyard which is known tourist attractions all year round.

The Grey Reef shark is active during the night and love to feed on squids, octopus as well as different crustaceans. They are also spotted hunting during the day and seem to be very curious. They are also very sociable and when divers are around they come very close. If they are threatened they will curve their bodies and at the same time hunch its back.
