Sharpnose Shark

They are small sharks but, it doesn't mean that they are babies. I don't feel bad now when I over-heard the man said, this type of shark specie is a fully grown shark. This is a boy who caught this shark. His family was taking his picture. I thought the shark is alive because the tail wiggles LOL. It was him did something to it and it looks like the shark wiggles its tail.

I will just have my guess as to the type of shark this is. It looks like Sharp nose Shark or Rhizoprionodon terraenovae, one of the most common shark species here in Florida.  This is an inshore species which they said, common in bays and estuaries. They grow about 2 to 4 feet long. They have long and flattened snout, slender body, a brown to olive-gray body color with a white underside. There is a small white spots on its back which is very distinctive. They eat small fish and crustaceans. This specie is the most common shark caught by Florida anglers.

Deep Sea Fishing at Cape Canaveral

26 minutes more or less from our place is Cape Canaveral. This place is also known as Cape Kennedy in the 60's and early 70's. It is part of the Space Coast, and the home of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station as well as the Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal.

Yesterday, while hubby and I went to Rusty's for a sumptuous lunch, the fishing fleets arrived to the boat dock from their whole day deep fishing activities. There were three boats and when they unload, we were curious. We finished up with our meal and went to the boat dock area.

I saw baby sharks displayed  below that sign. Those sharks and fishes were caught by the passengers/guests. According to one of the passengers, her son joined the contest by putting their biggest caught on the container, and adding some money (donation).  Whoever has the biggest caught, he/she wins the money.All those baby sharks look the same size to me. Awww... they were just babies.

Anyway, if you love to experience this type of activity, here is the link : orlandoprincess.com

Hubby and I are planning to try this activity. I think this is a fun adventure but, I only want to catch the fish that I can eat. Not the shark.

According to the passenger/guest, they were 3 and paid $60 per person. She said it was worth it because the services on board are the following:

- Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner (depending of selected trip)
- Unlimited Beer and Soda
- Rod & Reel
- Bait & Tackle
- Fishing License
- Parking

They were well fed she said. Interesting!

Water Sports Activity on A Sunday

We stayed on the outdoor yesterday. We went as far as the South Atlantic almost to the Satellite Beach. We have our beach chairs set up and just enjoying the breeze from the Atlantic ocean. I did not swim because the heat was a scorcher. After two hours, hubby and I decided to go to the mall and shop a little bit. We head back home and relax. After sundown, we went back to the beach and this time, we went to Cocoa Beach and stayed there up to 8PM.

While driving by the neighborhood by the river and canal that heads out to the sea, hubby and I thought that buying a jet ski is reasonable. We live 5 minutes away by the Indian River and on a Sunday, water sports activity is truly busy down the river and the beach. Some families went out for boating, jet skiing, fishing, water gliding, canoeing, kayaking and many more. Now, hubby is thinking to buy a jet ski, I love the idea for sure.
