UNLIMITED is
an extreme catch and release experience for any angler, novice
or professional. We are NOT a charter or guide service, but a
group that enjoys sharing the awesome thrill of catching
sharks for the experience, excitement and the research of our
Bay of Fundy shark resource. We do our best to put anglers on
BIG GAME sharks ranging from 100 pounds to 500 plus pounds!
Big game sharks in the Bay of Fundy consist of Porbeagle,
Thresher and Mako variety sharks that can reach lengths of 14
plus feet and over a thousand pounds! The Bay of Fundy
hosts some of the largest sharks in Eastern North America and
fight time can translate into hours at the rod when hooked up.
If you are looking for a fish of a lifetime, come out with us
for a fishing experience you will never forget! Groups of 3-6
people are recommended and a rod time of 10-15 minutes usually
will consist of a switch of anglers at the rod if you are
hooked into a large shark. Each person in the group will
have a hand in fighting and landing a shark as well as taking
on the duties of spotting incoming sharks, new fin spotter (in
the case of a second shark coming in while hooked up), rod
changeovers, line retriever on other rods and camera/video
duty.
SHARKS
UNLIMITED will be
working closely with Dr. Turnbull of the University of New
Brunswick on a research project of the Bay of Fundy Shark
species that are caught and released by our group. We
will be tagging all sharks before releasing.
SHARKS
UNLIMITED is located at
the entrance/exit to Fundy National Park at Alma, a
major New Brunswick tourism town. Captain Eric Lockhart
and First mate Emmerson Simpson have combined 30+ years of
fishing experience in the Fundy area. Angling will be
performed from a seaworthy 53 X 23.5 foot fishing vessel.
With some of the highest
tides in the world, SHARKS
UNLIMITED is limited to
times we can sail, therefore, it is necessary to be on time
and ready to leave. We will supply you with a launch
time that will allow us to load the boat and launch at high
tide. The Bay of Fundy is known for its varying weather
patters, so it is suggested that you bring enough clothes that
you can be prepared for cool days, rain and fog, and scorching
sun. It is too late once the boat has left dock.
Enough food, snacks and beverages to last 10-12 hours will be
necessary. Other items to consider are: Sunglasses,
sunscreen, cameras and video recorders with extra film and
batteries, hat for sun protection. The boat is large so
don't be afraid to pack a little extra protection or
food. All rods, reels, fighting harnesses and other
angling accessories can be supplied on loan by SHARKS
UNLIMITED if you do not
have appropriate equipment of your own. Last but not least, it may be wise to take a
couple of gravol the night before a departure to help fight
off any chance of sea-sickness.
