How To Join A Shark Fishing Florida Tour

By Eric Thomas


There is a lot to love about fishing. You get to catch a great source of protein, and possibly have food for several meals to come. It also lets you get out and bond with your friends, family or whoever you go with. But the best part may very well be the fact that you get to spend several hours out on the ocean, with its beautiful blue water. Sign up for a Shark Fishing Florida to really enjoy yourself.

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.

The crew of your boat will show you anything you don't know and keep you safe. Most are certified in CPR and licensed by the Coast Guard. They know their way around fish, and will clean and gut anything you catch for you. For all of their hard work, it is customary to give them a tip, just like you would a waiter in a restaurant, so be sure to stop for cash on the way to the dock.
