Shark Fishing Trips, Cornwall
Going Shark fishing out of Penzance (Cornwall, UK) is a great day out with the chance of catching that fish of a lifetime . The two main types of shark caught out of penzance are the Blue shark and the Porbeagle,and the occasional sighting of the Large tail fin of the Threasher Shark. We personally have not had the chance to fight a Threasher shark, but there was 1 caught by comercial Fishermen last year of over1000 pounds in weight taken just a couple of miles of Lands End.
The trip normally starts at 0900 or before depending on the time the booking is asked to leave, knowing that the fishing will commence within 1 hour of leaving the Port ,Being luck that out of Penzance your Sharking starts within 10 miles of the coastline .The BEST of the sharks come between the last week of June and the beginning of October .
Shark Fishing Catch and Release.
I operate a strict catch and release program on the shark fishing so that every shark we catch has its picture taken and is released as soon as possible, giving the fish the best chance of all to go on and fight another day.
Last year we took the new Cornish Record Blue Shark 139 pounds ,The fish will not stand as the record as the Rules of the Cornish Federation of Sea Anglers state that the fish must be bought to the scales to be classed as the record. We measured the fish and released it again ,along with all the other sharks we landed.
This type of trip is very popular with all types of fisherman from the Stag parties to the seasoned anglers.
The type of tackle we use is all dissolvable on the of chance that a fish is lost in the fight.
Whilst you wait for that Shark of a lifetime, if you bring your own light float fishing outfit with you, there maybe a chance of getting into the Record Books fishing for Garfish. You will find the Garfish and acrobatic and plentiful with fish pushing the 3lb mark on a regular basis. The best Garfish landed this year was a fish of 2.12.8 with bigger fish lost at the net. The British Record is also held out of Penzance – Could you be the next record holder?
