Catch Food And Have A Blast On A Shark Fishing Florida Tour

By Eric Thomas


Fishing has a lot of things going for it. It allows you to go out onto the ocean and enjoy the waves and blue water. It is a great way to pass the time and get some fresh air, as well as spend time with family or friends who may accompany you. If you catch anything, you may be able to fill your freezer with fresh, healthy protein. That is why you should join a shark fishing Florida tour today.

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.

The reason so many people come to Florida to fish for sharks is that the surrounding waters have quite the variety of species to choose from, depending on how big or small you want to go. Smaller nurse sharks that usually are bottom dwellers can be had, as well as bonnetheads, black tips, lemon sharks and even threshers, Those looking for a challenge can go for hammerheads.

Many of the boats used on these expeditions are on the smaller side, so they can only fit four to six people. Most people bring at least three other people, often family members or friends, so you will have complete privacy and the attention of the crew to help you. If you are a beginner, be sure to tell them when you sign up so they know to show you the ropes.

Speaking of rods and reels, all of this will be provided by the crew. They will also take care of your license, since you need one to fish legally in Florida. However, if you already have your own equipment and wish to use only that, then you are free to bring them with you.

In order to catch anything, you will also need bait, which is provided by the crew. They generally do not provide refreshments, so bring your own drinks and snacks. You will also want to pack sunscreen and sunglasses to prevent glare.

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.

Your boat will have a crew that will take good care of you, no matter what your skill level or experience. They will also keep you safe, which means they are certified in CPR and generally are licensed by the Coast Guard. They work hard for you, even gutting and cleaning whatever you may catch. This is why you should carry some cash on you to tip them for their hard work. It will be greatly appreciated, since they put in a long day long before you arrive to prepare for the trip.
