Memorable Days Out With Marthas Vineyard Fishing Charters

By Jeanette Riggs


Marthas Vineyard fishing charters are becoming more and more popular every year. They offer one of the best ways to get out and enjoy some fresh air, fun and great companionship. Even someone who has never fished before will be able to join in and will feel like a seasoned fisherman within the first hour.

Beginners will be happy to learn that the boats come fully loaded with all the equipment they will need. They do not need to spend a lot of money on tackle as it is all provided. Bait is also supplied, as each type of fish prefers a different type. Experienced fishermen are welcome to bring their own rods and reels to use if they feel more comfortable using their own tackle.

The larger boats are equipped to carry around thirty people. They are often used for company outings and other events. The bigger boats are able to travel further and faster and can get out into open waters. This gives the opportunity to fish for larger species and even swordfish and shark. Landing a shark is a once in a life time experience for most amateur fishermen and a truly memorable event. Even catching some good sized stripe bass or tuna can really make the trip worthwhile.

In addition to bass, bluefish are another popular catch. They can be cleaned on board the ship and taken home to eat. Most experienced captains are able to guarantee fish because they know the waters so well. It is important to look for someone who has many years or fishing knowledge. They should also be able to provide references and testimonials from previous customers. Most captains have their own web site so that prospective clients can see the boat and equipment before making their reservation.

Most people begin their search for a charter by looking on line. There are a host of different companies offering some great deals. Prices will usually depend on how many people are in the party and how long they want to fish. A full day charter usually offers the best value, but may not be suitable for those who are completely new to the sport or those with young children. Each person must decide exactly what they need and make arrangements with the captain.

Charter trips can run for a few hours, half days, full days or even over night trips to really get out into open waters. Before taking this type of excursion it is important to spend time on a boat to really get the feel for it. An experienced captain will be able to talk with each client and work out the best package for their individual needs. A big group will have completely different needs to a lone client who wants to learn how to fly fish.

One very important factor to keep in mind is safety. Everyone on board should be given a thorough safety talk and demonstration before the boat leaves the harbor. It is vital that children wear life jackets at all times and the adults know how to react in the event of an emergency.

Anyone who loves the ocean should consider Marthas Vineyard fishing charters. The experienced captains can often guarantee they will find fish. They will also help and advise each one of their guests individually offering them words of encouragement and advice.
