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.
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.
They guarantee a catch each trip they make but that depends on the month. Cod, Haddock as well as Monk, Halibut, Wolf and Pollack can be caught during March to November where as Shark is more prone to be caught during June to October months. The Giant Bluefin Tuna is easier to catch during July to November and the medium Tuna during June to November. If one wishes to catch Striped Bass and Bluefish the best time would be from June to October.
People are asked to bring rain jackets and pants as well as warm clothing as the further out to sea one gets the cooler the air can become. Also do not forget the sun screen and sun glasses. Shoes are a must as no one will be allowed to fish bare foot and definitely no high heels. All fish that are caught will be filleted by the Captain and must be packed into zip lock freezer bags and put into a large cooler that is packed with ice.
