Nice shots...I didn't know there was a mako pup season. I've had mako before and it's pretty good....

Crazy. Did those guys behind you in the last pic launch that little boat form the shores? Thats just about as crazy as that shark.

I have no idea. I have seen boats like that launch at the shores in the past.

Why would launching a small boat from the beach be crazy? I've been beach launching small boats from the beach since 1971. Commercial lobster fisherman used to launch from the beach. A small boat is way more stable than a kayak.
Catching Bonito is always fun and a small Mako adds to the adventure.

Never meant crazy in a bad way. Just wondering if they did. I've been curious, but hesitant to try.

If you have the right trailer its no big deal. I have a 12 ft gregor and can launch it by myself if the surf is small enough, which is 90 % of the time...

You can buy beach launch wheels or just get a few big boat fenders from west marine and use them to roll the boat in, or some people just detach and push the entire trailer in the water... I've seen it all, even a big boston whaler... just be safe in the surf and stay under 5mph in the reserve.

see you out there

You got bigger stones than I do... I would've been in the market for a new rapala after I saw color on that thing.
