This past July 4 weekend, Dan and his Dad, Fran Sr., headed out to the Sausages off of Delaware/Maryland and found themselves among the sharks. They hooked their first Mako and brought it onboard--subdued by a gun shot in the head. As shown in the photo, it weighed in at 125 pounds and measured 64 inches long. They brought it back and had it "prepared" at Hook'em & Cook'em tackle shop (Bert's place) at Indian River Marina, DE. Their bait of choice: bluefish fillet; on the way out, they trolled up seven bluefish--being the ever-resourceful fishermen that they are. While on the hunt, they also caught and released another Mako of approximately the same size, as well as two brown sharks and a blue shark. Water temperature was is the low 70's. Nice trip.
