hmm...My best mako was only 150lbs off a boat, never tried for them on the yak , could be interesting only thing is a chum slick off the yak could get hairy... They are one bad ass shark can only imagine the sled ride you would get out of a solid fish! How do you plan to target them?

Not to be an alarmist, but you guys are nuts! I recently read the stats on number of unprovoked shark attacks reported off CA Coast. 2010 7, 2009 9, with 79 worldwide;. One near Malibu, lifted girl and kayak several feet in the air, with her coming down feet first on to the GW's shoulder and they both went different directions. then there was the Mission Beach closure last year, the surfer bit in half a couple years ago. Nothing new here, and undoubtedly many of you know more than I about it, but it did give me pause for thought.

hunting makos is not for the weak of heart. threshers are bad enough with there tail slaps but a mako.....
they will try to bite you they will try and jump in your lap they will pull you out to sea they do not give up they will bite your yak if you have a chum slick you must use a steel leader at least 8ft long my list can go on but you get the idea even a small 60 pounder will chew up your gear when they get close and are pissed off my boat has many teeth marks in the fiberglass and swimstep |

wait till spring/summer on the warm water years.....
I've had the dis-pleasure of hooking a few from the yak....nothing even over 100.lbs. I promise no matter how tough and ready you think you are sitting 6" off the water on a 30"wide piece of plastic ,when you set the hook on one of those sharks and the line goes slack while it charges your yak, leaping into the air, hearing the snaggle tooth jaws snap, snap, snap while airborn, you can even see its dark eyes locked on your neck as it charges closer....you'll quickly realize why a big mako hasn't been taken from a kayak. good advise from jim...use lotsa line on the reel, troll the baits REALLY far back, and if you get bit paddle like a mo'fo'.....then maybe flying gaffs, tail rope/bouy....shotgun? be safe |
