makos in carlsbad

I can second those stories, the one time I inadvertently caught a small mako he came right back at me, eyeballing me and chomping continuously. He made several runs at me too!

plus, how do you plan to target them? Get a chum slick going? I'm sure other yakers will appreciate that. Recipe for disaster

Half a bonito suspended30 ft down under a float. Chum slick would help but don't want it tied to the yak.

If you know the risks and still feel prepaired enough to fish them, handle it. But alot of inexperienced people read these threads as well and fire off half cocked because they think mako and thresher are both shark so it's the same risks. I'd hate to read about one of you guys getting hurt or worse.

plan is to keep a good 100yrds from the bait, but they can close pretty quick and do alot of arial show. im curious to see how big of one i can bait up and if i do hook one, what happens when he dives down or passes under the yak with 22lbs of drag.

Don't listen to these guys, DO IT! Also, can I have your gear they recover!

I just talked to this mako I know about your plan. He said fuck your plan, game on bitch. His words, not mine.
