The Big Kid, Brielle, NJ with Capt's Ken Gallop, Mark Jankowski and Ken Schott put a crew together for last weekends Mako Mania and JCSA Mako Fever.

Day1- Fished the area around the Texas Tower. Lots of big sharks, but no makos.
early morning-700+ tiger shark swims into our slick
afternoon-488# thresher takes a live bunker, 1 hour later, thresher steaks for all.
mid afternoon- a 1000# + great white jumps clear out of the water about 100 feet off our slick, never to be seen again.

Day2- Fished the southern tip of the Chicken Canyon
one run off in the morning and we boated a 125-150# mako in the afternoon.

Here are some pics of the thresher, we weighed in at Brielle Yacht Club. If only she were a mako.
