yes jim you have seen my boat
i fished with larry for years targeting makos once these guys see what even a small mako can do boatside they will figure out makos are a bad idea out of a yak my largest i ever kept was 250 and it took over an hour to land on my 23ft center console on 60lb line it also took four hours to clean and package we only keep one a year now and males only with a max of 150lb weight |
maybe a mothership trip could work
let them hook one on the yak get towed around for an hour or two and then have them tranfer to the support ship for the scary end game.. |
Im down
You always have to ask yourself "whats the worst that could happen?" Sure you could get pulled out to sea and be chewed up by a 400lb mako, but you could also get crushed by a falling tree while sitting in your car at a red light like the woman in irvine. I think the mako would make for a cooler topic at my eulogy
|
Ive said for a long time I would do it. I dont have near as much experience as Jim or some of the others but I have dealt with a good amount of mako's on boats. They are pretty crazy fish and I too have seen them at sizes well over 1000lbs.
Been trying 10 years now for my thresher. this year I want that milestone gone. Even in the most wide open T bites I seem to pull out YT. Most would say this is a good trade but its been way too long of my trying for Mr. T. In short, if we got experienced guys together id be in. Probably wouldnt paddle my 160 and would go for the Ride 135 but either way im in. |

You guys are nuts! Were can I sign up !
|
Yeah, I really need to get a thresher under my belt. How can I NOT catch a mako for now ;)

Why not try feeding the Mako's too, ....bet they will eat right out of your leg or legs! Yeah, you go right ahead.....let me know how it goes. Make sure to post your results upon your return, if you still have fingers to type with. Seriously, a T is tough enough, we definitely do not want to hear about you guys on the news. |
Haven't read through the whole post, but it keeps coming up chumming is a bad idea from the kayak. Call me crazy, or maybe just a thinker.... but what would be so wrong with floating the chum on something like an achor bouy or another sort of float, safe distance away from the kayak but close enough to be within effective range? That way you're not slicking to the kayak, but your bait is swimming in it....
just sayin' |

My neighbor and I (on his boat) last summer.....Cummin' for Mako's and all we got was this little guy. :rolleyes:
My only reserve is....Do I bring the 870 or the .44. :D Most of you say we're crazy for even contemplating it, but have you ever driven on the 101/405 interchange..... |
Those things are pretty damn wild when hooked. They jump super close to your boat as well. Good way to flip.
If you guys do decide to do it. Hit me up i'll shoot video |
