Mako's

Haven't read through the whole post, but it keeps coming up chumming is a bad idea from the kayak. Call me crazy, or maybe just a thinker.... but what would be so wrong with floating the chum on something like an achor bouy or another sort of float, safe distance away from the kayak but close enough to be within effective range? That way you're not slicking to the kayak, but your bait is swimming in it....

just sayin'

I used to fish Blue sharks off of Anacapa, we would float frozen 15 lbs blocks of chum in burlap and plastic containers, off the side of a 33 foot sport boat, I have seen 12-15 footers come up and rip it off in one foul swoop...a kayak would have just gone down with it...no thanks...I don't think that is a good idea

My neighbor and I (on his boat) last summer.....Cummin' for Mako's and all we got was this little guy.

My only reserve is....Do I bring the 870 or the .44.

Most of you say we're crazy for even contemplating it, but have you ever driven on the 101/405 interchange.....

Those things are pretty damn wild when hooked. They jump super close to your boat as well. Good way to flip.

If you guys do decide to do it. Hit me up i'll shoot video

That's an interesting way to get fish to the boat.

LOL!! Yeah, I guess that's why he was so small.... You know what I mean though.

Im saying you float a buoy 30-50 yards behind your yak, chum attached to the buoy by 15-20lb mono and if a shark strikes your chum it'll break free.... you're safely in your kayak. If your not trolling you don't even need to tether the buoy to your kayak

Don't get me wrong, I would and have targeted shark on the yak, I am always up for a sliegh ride, I just think makos may be better caught from a sturdier platform...alittle farther off the water...lol but I am up for it...with back up...support boat, big gun...etc...

Like I said, Julie and my brain prevailed when we had just small makos hooked off of La Jolla.
Even with a gun, assuming that the gun killed it completely, is there a kayaker willing to do this alone?
OK. Now, that you've got company, what is the other person going to do for you when that mako wants to impress you with his ability to land on your kayak, eat your nuts, and tell you he doesn't want to play anymore.
It's not an impossible feat from the kayak, but who really needs to prove their manhood that way?
Don't be stupid. I too, don't want to read about your results, bad (most likely) or good.
