Great Cape Cod Deep Sea Fishing

By Eula Clarke


While casting your line into a river, lake, or creek affords great experiences there is really nothing quite like dropping your line into a depth of 100 feet and pulling out a marlin or tuna. You can combine a family vacation with great Cape Cod Deep Sea Fishing anywhere along the New England coast. There are wonderful towns like Hyannis Barnstable Ma and others all the way up through Canada where you can charter a boat for this adventure.

Fishing Charters are expensive so if you can, go with a group of people you know. That way everyone can chip in and it will be fun for everyone. If you are going alone, just know that there will be strangers on the boat so expect to mingle, unless you can afford to hire the boat for yourself.

In places where deep-sea fishing is plentiful, especially vacation spots, you will have no trouble finding a charter boat. Prepare ahead of time though because they do fill up quickly. The need to book several days to several weeks ahead of time is not unusual. Ask people for recommendations, check pamphlets, and research online.

You can still probably find one when you get to your vacation location. One good way to do so, is to take a sightseeing tour on a boat or walk the docks and ask for recommendations from the vendors. It is possible to still find a trip at a reasonable cost.

While booking your trip, ask what you need to bring. Usually the charter will provide the necessary licenses, life jackets, rods and bait. Do not take it for granted though and ask. Also, find out if you should bring your own food and drink.

While preparing for your trip be sure to take along your sunglasses and sunscreen. People do not realize just how the bright the sunlight is when reflecting off the water. Things to not bring are jewelry or anything else you do not want to lose or have get soaked. The cloths you wear should be layered as your trip will probably last all day and it gets very cool on the water once the sun begins to sink.

The Captain and crew is going to know where the best fishing spots are and have good knowledge on techniques on catching a reeling them in, so listen to them. If you have questions on how to bait your line or how to get that 30 pound tuna on board, ask them and pay attention. One thing to remember, is that once you are on board the Captain is in charge. You may have hired them but the boat is their domain.

It is a good idea to keep your eyes on the horizon as it is steady. Doing this will help keep you from getting seasick. Drink lots of water. Even if it is an overcast or cloudy day, you are probably going to dehydrate quickly without realizing it. This is especially true if you are drinking alcohol on board.

Put your fish on ice to preserve its freshness. Do not keep anything over the legal limit and be sure to release any endangered fish. Be sure to have taken lots of pictures because you are going to want to brag about your catch when telling stories about the great trip you had.
