Shark Fishing RideAway Style

We have had numerous customers come in to use our kayaks to fish the beautiful creeks and even get out into Cape Cod Bay to test their luck with the various species of fish we have here on Cape Cod. One of the most recent stories involve an ANGRY MAKO SHARK.

RideAway delivers kayaks to Plymouth Ma on a weekly basis it is a beautiful area to kayak and explore however rarely do we deliver Kayaks for the purpose of Shark fishing yet not too long ago (without us or the people ordering the kayaks knowing it) thats exactly what we did. Bringing the two Advant edges (pictured below) about a quarter mile off the shore around sunset the two gentleman, who we will name Terry and Bill to conceal identities and pride, figured they'd get one last attempt in before us picking the kayaks up early the next morning. So the cast went out and BAM a monster hit on Terry's line, so the fight was on, after about 25 minutes of battle and about two hundred yards of ocean passing he finally had the fish close to the boat having no clue what Bill was about to swipe into the net. As they pulled it out of the water and into the boat they both realized "O ****" this is a shark, and as Murphy's law would have it that shark sure enough fought its way out of the net and directly into Terry's kayak where a slap fight for the ages would ensue and the Mako would gain his freedom and the two fisherman would only have matching cuts and scraps to remember the one that got away. So for all you Kayak Fisherman remember this story and be prepared to battle cause you never know what kind of fight your looking at when you get into those Cape Waters. Special Thanks to "Terry and Bill" for supplying such a valuable lesson for all us fisherman on the Cape.

RideAway Kayak offers a variety of Kayaks and some specifically for fishing the Cape waters. The Bic Sport Bilboa is an extremely sturdy Sit on top kayak that allows the rider to place two rods in the back compartment and simply paddle and troll for whatever catch they are looking to hook. The other type is the Emotion Advant-edge (reference above and pictured to the left) which is a 12 foot sit in that is very sturdy for a sit in kayak but it also offers numerous storage spaces and a roped side to tie up all those keepers you'll be reeling in. So if your itching to get out there and bring in some monsters, give us a call and we'll set you up.
