Mako "Our" Day MBG

A little extension of the Mass Bay Guides Tuna Report:

5:00am - Charter arrives with the "dream team" crew on board. The first time in almost 2 years that the Sears boys and dad fished together.

5:30am - Shove off the dock, with a crew including a hilarious MBG charter regular from Newfoundland.

5:31am - "Newfie" we will call him, packs first ridiculously huge lip of scoal...needs to calm his excitement.

5:32am-7:00am - Arrive at destination after "Newfie" has packed about 6 cans worth of scoal and has been mumbling scoalish-Irishish-French stories for the las 90min.

7:30am - Decide to move to another spot because of a severe seaweed issue.

8:00am - Arrive at next destination...fish EVERYWHERE. We begin debating switching to live bait...

8:30am - RIGHT RIGGER! We hook a fish. CENTER RIGGER! We almost double. Newfie's dip shoots out of his nose during the excitment.

8:33am - Fish in the boat after being landed on a 130...

9:00am - Switch to live bait.

9:30am - Boil on the balloon bait. Dorsal comes up...I instantly yell Mako! for no apparent reason...Taylor and I begin to argue as to what kind of shark it is. I realize that I shouldn't question a world record Mako fisherman. It is a Mako when he says it is.

Big Greg opens the chum bucket and begins throwing chum. Taylor clears the pogie out of the water. I tie on a shark leader and pitch out a butterflied pogie.

1 minute later, the balloon dips a bit. Fish starts taking line on free spool. Taylor and dad are yelling at me to wait. Taylor says, "We know its a Mako if it jumps..." I give it a 5 count, set the hook...7 ft Mako comes flying 6 feet out of the water. Newfie nearly swallows his 37th dip.

The fish takes 200 yds of line in the blink of an eye. After about a 45 minute fight we get color. The hook pulled out of the fishes mouth and somehow we had him BARELY snagged in the side. Taylor throws the stick...he may as well have punched the fish because the dart just bounced off of him (Dull as Hell...). I have the fish on the leader, reach along the gunnel with my right hand and I grab the fly gaff. I stick him near the tail. Taylor throws a tail rope on...game over. Nice 150-175lb Mako.

10:30am - Dad wakes up from his nap.

11:30am-1:30pm - Went brown backing and got 10 nice keeper cod. Lots of throwbacks.

3:30pm - Arrive at dock. Dad goes to Dunkis and takes credit for all the work, while Taylor and I clean the boat and the fish. Haha.

Fun day out there today. Love fishing with Dad and little bro.

Nice job Bry! Nefie sounds hilarious...If he was with on the Alcazar we'd call him Newfetirri. Al salid al mulla sallam sideek!

I hope you saved a steak for me.

I don't care how long those makos have been dead, the seem to re-animate like a zombie when you least expect it (hand on his nose).
