For those lucky few that can afford to go on yearly vacations but are finding destinations to be very similar why not try something new and exciting. Shark fishing Cape Cod experiences are guaranteed to bring some sparkle back into the holiday. This is a peninsula in the state of Massachusetts in the North eastern United States.

There are a great many varieties of shark and each one brings a new thrill when seen for the first time. The Great White is the most feared and is one of the most aggressive. They seem to have a truly amazing sense of smell and their eyesight and hearing is also very good. This specie is the only one of the sharks that tends to lift their head out of the water and it is speculated that they do this to see if there is any larger prey above water or to show their dominance.

Nantucket is only fifty kilometres south of Cape Cod and the population on this island is about ten thousand but during the summer months this figure can raise to about fifty thousand. According to the Forbes magazine the value of the houses in this area are among the highest in the United States. In 1966 it was designated a National Historic Landmark because it has the finest surviving architectural and environmental examples dating back to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.

The Goblin shark is not very often seen as they live well below the surface. They have a very unusual shape and those that have been lucky enough to spot them have report that they look like they are more disabled and disfigured. They have a long protrusion for their nose and this is believed to help them locate prey. They seem to feed on crabs as well as sting rays and mollusks and any other organism that lives at the bottom of the ocean.

There are many charters that offer one to go out onto the sea and do some deep sea fishing. It need not only be shark fishing but Haddock and Cod as well as Tuna and Striped Bass and Bluefish. The Big Fish II Charters offer an exciting adventure and have over thirty years of experience in taking out avid fisherman.

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.

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.

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.
