that video didnt show up but if its the same one i seen on a diving web site that wasnt a white it was a mako
|
There was one off of North Beach yesterday. Todd Mansur found it on a whale watching trip and I know for a fact he knows his fish. I worked for him for 3 summers.

I like how everyone on the boat is screaming & hollering at a little 4-5 footer... like it was going to punch a hole in the side of the boat and start chewing on scuba tanks.

I went out there Thursday night, dead calm until about 1:15am and then the wind started up. Not much happening that night, a couple of small brown sharks, not sure what they were, a rockfish and a sculpin. Trolled for a couple of hours, mac and mac rapala, nothin. Tried the shore line for hali's, got two raked baits and one of those sharks. I ran into a freind out there when I first started, he said a mako came up and checked out his yak, then took off. |

I'm looking for that what-ever it is today. . .
Loading up my yak now, Looking for reasonable wind and I'll paddle to the kelp. I'll bring a camera and a fresh pair of shorts (just in case).

THis just in. . .
On the water by 4pm off by 8 pm. Wind was brutal, swells were frequent and a lot of water moving. But I was not going to waste the opportunity. I hightailed it to the headlands. Trouble making bait, only caught two bait fish.
Started the drift on using a big hammer, I think 4 inch (brown/orange). Must have been a lucky drop, hooked up with a legal halibut. Reeled the MF'r in and reached for the gaff. The bugger just sat there but it had drifted a bit and I had to reach for the gaff shot and holy mother of *(&%)! I missed the gaff shot and the fish b-lined it to the bottom. I wasn't prepared for that, rod in one hand gaff in the other and then "snap". I wish I could re-do that. There will be no fresh halibut for dinner. That pretty much took the wind out of that sail. Made for a crappy paddle in. oh, no tax man. http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/i...cons/icon8.gif :eviltongue: |
