The Fun Of A Shark Fishing Florida Expedition

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.

It is a real shame that people don't think of shark meat as a source of protein more often, because it is low in fat, filling and delicious. It is also quite versatile, just like regular white fish. It is great for grilling or can even be cooked over a stove. It is also great for a fun variation on fish and chips, since it is delicious when battered and fried.

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.

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.

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.

All bait is also included, however food usually is not provided. So bring your own food and beverages, along with sunscreen and a hat. Sunglasses are also recommended, as the sun's glare off the water can be really powerful.

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.
