For Daron

[Tightlines667]

Blacktip not Mako.

I was gonna say something like 'that's the strangest looking Mako I have ever seen, and I'be seen hundreds', but thought better of it.  Thanks for clearing that up!

The water temp is perfect for them right now.
75 degrees keeps them active.
I'll be there in a few days.

[Mattman NZ]

All the best Daron.

I first said Mako b/c he caught a Mako in the same area the week before. I'm getting reports that the Mako bite is turning on for bait and beach fisherman.

Daron, you forgot to invite the local Hammer Magnet 

Best of luck to you guys, I want to see pics of at least a 10' beast on the 18/0.
And even a 10' will likely get skull dragged to shore by that reel.
Stay safe out there my friend.

I sent you a pm John.

I figured something like that was the case

It still amazes me that guys are catching Makin from the beach. 

These are really the ultimate shark, and a true blue water Pelagic species.  Also, they are very good eating.  Some of those Hammerheads are darn impressive as well.  I can see the appeal.

As always, I wish you the best if luck Daron!

I know you come fully prepared, and likely stocked well with good bait, and information in addition to the gear.

Now hopefully you are blessed with good conditions, and some luck as well

The Forecast looks Good. I have one more day of work. Then its time to pack up and head South.
I Thank everyone for the well wishes. I'm going to need it.
I'm hoping my Boy Mike gets hooked up on a Good Shark. It is his Time.
The hard part is Juggling Family Vacation time and Sharkin'.
Either one is my Favorite. No work, No grass cutting, No alarm Clocks, No Stress and No Chores. Just The Beach and My Family. The Sharks are just a Bonus.
Life is Good.

Vacation all day and fish all night.  Sleep in a lawn chair with your head next to the clicker.

Steve,
The Clickers on my Big Senators are so loud. They will wake the dead.
Double stainless dogs on an aluminum spool will wake up Davy Jones.
Problem is, I can't sleep with my baby's in the water.
There is too much at stake.
The Leviathan is close. So very close.
I can sleep when I'm in bed and my rods and reels are next to me. Not 500 yards into Leviathans's Lair.
I hit the Beach to fish around 5 or 6pm. All the tourists have had enough sun by then.
I'll stay out there until at least 1am. Hopefully longer if my fishing partners are willing.
Sharks are night feeders.
I'm not asking for much, just a 10 footer. 120" of Lemon, Tiger, Hammer, Mako. I just need to get into the 10' Club.
It is a personal goal of mine.
Watching a monster like that swim away from me is all the satisfaction I need.

Cool.  Just be safe about it.  and good luck.  Dominick

The last 3 days have been north cool winds keeping the nearshore beach waters calm. It's been beautiful weather. I'm heading to the dock to catch some Speckled Sea Trout right now and will take a picture.
