Saturday Mako
Submitted by Simon C on Sun, 2008-09-28 08:29
Showed either my complete lack of picking weather, or tragic addiction to fishing and put in at Hillaries at 5.30 saturday morning. Afters shortening my spine by a few inches arrived west of rotto to chase some Kingies and ambers 2 hours later. Nothing much exciting to report on the fishing front, but for the first ten minutes we had about a 12ft mako going nuts 50m from the boat launching up in the air obviously chasing bait - was impressive to say the least.

Impressive Simon!
That would have been so cool to watch - don't suppose you got any pics of it?
Shame about the fishing result though.

One for Mako Magic
The best place in WA to get onto a mako is in a 5-6 mile radius of Cape Naturaliste.Used to be a shark fisherman and answers I got back from Fisheries [shark research] is that there is for some reason more makos in that area in comparision to anywhere else.Used to get them all sizes from off Yallingup north to Southwest Bank with most in the Wright's bank area.
