Alot of fishermen (and Ladies) don't know that Makos are a sport fish and put on quite a show jumping and spinning!
This guy was finning on the surface and we couldn't tease him in with live bait and fly lining live sardines, so I set up a 7 kt troll with a Nomad DTX minnow and watched him submerge as we aproached from 100 yards out to our starboard. Sure enough, we were "fish on!" As soon as he was in our wake.
The BEST fish tacos and fried nuggets ever!!
I can share recipes if you like.
Be safe out there and add your own "Mako my day" story (fresh or salt).
Tight lines and tails up!
Can you guess the location? br Alot of fishermen (... (show quote)


Not hard to notice the place where I was born and grew up. But we fished for other things, like Sea Bass,
Yellow Tail and for fun there were always sharks. For a Mako, that one is small. A good sized one would have hauled you half way back to the mainland, sunk your craft and had you for lunch. That is the Casino Bld.
in Avalon Bay on Catalina Island.

Avalon, Catalina Island, no doubt about it. Those smaller Mako Sharks are definitely good eating. Its been years since I have been out to Catalina. I use to leave Long Beach at midnight and go to the back side where the light boats and seiners were working squid. I could put my lights out and grab squid as they jumped out of the water. The mossback YT and White Seabass would come crashing through at sunup.

Getting in here a little late but definitely Avalon on Catalina island
The casino where in the 1930s through the 1950s Glen Miller Benny Goodman and all the best of the big bands big bands
And some of the best ocean fishing in the state of California Tuna, Monster Marlin, Black Sea-bass and yes Mako Sharks next to the black sea bass the best eating fish in the in the ocean
The Mako in the photo was first place in the Southern California Mako Shark Fishing Tournament grand prize was just over $17,000 +or- it was a long time ago
