Fishing La Jolla 8-12-13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FISH11 · 08-13-2013, 11:43 AM

Thank You in the ID of the shark I had not ck'd out the different pictures on ID. It was a surprise and it did make a lot of splashing until I kept it out of water as much as possible. The last thing I wanted was him turning towards or getting in the kayak. when the line cut on his teeth he just swam off slowly like nothing had happened.

you can spot a mako by it's crazy eyes 0_o

Nice photo of the shark. How did the little bonito do in your bait tank? I've had trouble keeping them alive. Makos can be so twitchy and unpredictable, I always glad when the bite off away from the kayak. Mike

Yeah I caught three at once on the sabiki and two more sepperatly. I used the first and lost it when it tangled in some deep kelp. The second was in my tank and like you said it was dead with the others in the live well. That's the one the shark took. Don't know why they die ad green backs do fine. While sinking or trolling I guess they look live enough. Those Teeth where quite intimidating.

Yeah, what a great picture of that Mako. Way to go!

Dirty Curti · 08-13-2013, 01:06 PM

Great Pic, The water looks blue but the shark definitely Mako. You should use that pic for your avatar.

FISH11 · 08-13-2013, 01:21 PM

Yeah I've thinking about it. Thanks for advise.

Be really carefull next time. The mako is the only shark that will follow the line back to see what's fn with it.

Very dangerous shark.

addicted2sp33d · 08-13-2013, 01:37 PM

Has anyone tried the "flip them upside-down" trick?

I have yet to hook a shark, so I haven't been able to try this yet, but it's supposed to immobilize them.

Great catch/photo

.

Thanks for sharing!

I think I would sit there and stare at it for a while thinking how cool it is, then sh!t myself as I came to the realization that 4 feet of death was that close to me.

Aaron&Julie · 08-13-2013, 07:31 PM

Mako, all the way. Even with almost 10 years experience, it's going to be a long distance release. They've screwed people up, even on boats, way too dangerous and ballistic. We've hooked a few, released (hard yank) at about 10' away, or more. I had the experience which someone noted. He/she was a big one, too, even though I didn't see it. By far, the hardest and fastest tow I'd ever had on the 'yak, then it came at me, I reeled like crazy, and when I caught up, it turned away, which is when the line snapped. Kind of glad, as I didn't not want to see that one close up. He/she was so fresh, just envisioning it jumping into the 'yak gives me the chills.

Can we all just agree that MakoBob has the best Avitar on this site?

PE.rider · 08-14-2013, 11:48 PM

Beautiful pup Mako. Not exactly the 11 ft long, 8foot, 1300lb one that was caught off of HB in June of this year.

I would be paddling like Benny Hill if I ever hooked one that big on my yak.

h2ofishfo · 08-13-2013, 02:17 PM

Makos my favorite to eat marinated in teriyaki ! Takes a while to kill make sure u bring a knife next time and be careful!!

Fish on! Wait, I think I lost it. Oh s#!t

Makos and kayaks can be a recipe for disaster. Personally I thumb the spool and try to break them off ASAP. Sure are fun to see though, especially when they go airborne.

Sweet pic! Nice job on the release.

Carp · 08-13-2013, 08:37 PM

What an experience nice photo OP

FISH11 · 08-13-2013, 09:57 PM

After reading all the replies it makes me appreciate the experience even more. It sure was a beautiful creature to see up close a not get hurt. To think I had my hand, trying to get a hold of the line in the attempt to be able to cut it, only two feet away from it. We both got souvenirs he got my hook and I got great pictures and a new appreciation for sharks. Great day.
