short video of the mako we caught today.
hi guys
took my 2 boys out today for some squiding in the sound, not much around with only one big squid caught by blake.
weather was pretty average to say the least, but they wanted to hit the bank, anchor up and burly hard for some sambo action hopefully.
well... within anchoring and burlying for 10 mins a nice 1.5-2mtr mako come and said hello and even give the boat a nudge!!!
so on goes a live bait and it didnt take long for him to grab it, after a short fight he managed a jump or 2 and the boys were pumped, meanwhile i was setting the underwater camera up for a look (although i wasnt to keen in sticking my hands in the water, were is pole cam when you need it...lol)
so we managed to get a short video of him along the side of the boat, bit shaky on the camera but it was also pretty rough out there.
got him to the boat and we were gunna gaff him , but at that moment he spat the fish out and took off never to be seen again.
other than that it was a very quiet day and only a ray, few skippy and shit fish caught, shitty weather and back home by lunch.
check out the short video!!!
clik on the video and it should play...well it did for me!!!!!
cheers ron

Hey Ronny, would have loved some video footage of you sticking a gaff into it!! You'd be a braver man than me!!!
Good entertainment on an otherwise slow day.
