Visitors Love The Shark Fishing Cape Cod Options On Offer

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.

These creatures are truly amazing and when seeing one for the first time one will be in awe of their beauty. There are so many different species ranging from the large to the small. The most feared one because it is so aggressive is the Great White.

There is a list of the ten most dangerous sharks and the first is the Bull Shark. Its scientific name is Carcharhinus Leucas and can grow to be about eleven and a half feet in length. They can weigh anything from two hundred to five hundred pounds.

Nantucket has only about ten thousand inhabitants but during the summer months this number is known to increase substantially. It is roughly about fifty kilometres south of Cape Cod and according to the Forbes magazine all the houses are valued as the highest in the country. In 1966 it became a National Historic Landmark due to the still surviving architectural and environmental examples. These can be dated back as far as the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.

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 a few smaller islands in the surrounding waters and they are Monomoy Island, Monomoscoy Island as well as Popponesset Island. One of the privately owned is Naushon and was bought by John Murray Forbes. Many prominent families have also settled down on some of the larger islands as well.

There are numerous charters that will take people out to do some deep sea fishing. Many people are more interested in catching a variety of fish and not just shark. The most popular catches tend to be Tuna, Striped Bass, Bluefish as well as Cod and Haddock. Their boat are able to hold six people at a time and they take trips to many offshore waters but still all within the New England area.
