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.

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.

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.

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 can take up to six people at a time and they take trips to the Stellwagen Bank, Cape Cod Bay as well as many other offshore waters still all within the New England area. They are available to take out fishermen seven days a week as their continued existence depends on repeat business to make their living. They are equipped to take anyone from novice to experts and are more than willing to share their experiences with all.

Most of the fishing charters guarantee that the Mako will be seen and most cases caught. The best time of year to hunt for them is during June to October. They are generally about one hundred to three hundred and fifty pounds in weight.

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.
