The Fun Of A Shark Fishing Florida Expedition

By Eric Thomas


Unless you live in the wilderness or regularly go hunting, you likely do not capture your own food very often. That's why fishing is so much fun. You don't have to learn how to use a gun or wait for certain hunting seasons. You can catch your food anytime of year and have a great time while you do it. A Shark Fishing Florida tour company can help you have fun out on the water with friends or family.

Most people imagine salmon or maybe a nice red snapper when they think of edible fish, as that is what most grocery stores carry. However, shark meat is absolutely delicious and just as low fat and healthy for you. It is also quite easy to cook, especially if you want to grill it or batter and deep fry it for a hearty and delicious meal.

In Florida, there is a ton of variety when it comes to sharks. Depending on whether you take a tour near the shore or go out deeper into the sea, there are many species to be caught. You can try for hammerheads, bonnetheads, spinners, threshers, black tips and even lemon sharks. You may even get some nurse sharks, which generally only lie around the bottom of the ocean.

When you sign up for a tour, you can go alone or as part of a larger group. Most boats only hold four to six people, and lots of families or groups sign up together. When you sign up, be sure to tell the company what your experience level is. This way, they know what kind of rod and reel to give you, and can be sure to help you learn how to cast and pull a fish in.

The rods and reels that you need to snare your big catch will be provided for you, as well as the official fishing license you need before the boat departs. You do not have to use the ship's equipment though. If you have your own equipment, you can bring that to use instead.

The boat will also be stocked with bait for unlimited casting. However, they generally do not provide food and drinks, or sunscreen. You must bring all of these with you. It is also advisable to wear a hat and sunglasses as well.

Sharks are creatures of habit, and their habit is to eat around dusk, so that is when they will be biting bait the most. For that reason, a lot of expeditions leave in late afternoon or early evening to increase your chances of actually catching something, or perhaps getting several catches.

You crew will be quite experienced and ready to help you no matter what your skill level. They are usually certified in CPR and licensed by the Coast Guard for this type of expedition. Should you catch something, they will also be happy to clean and fillet it for you. It is customary to tip your crew members if they do a good job, so be sure to have some cash on hand to do that.
