Cape May Mako season 6-5-09 8:00 pm
Mako tournament season is here! A couple of things to pay attention to when fishing for Mako sharks. Number one, do not leave the dock without a Roffers’ report. I get one even though I have up to date reports from commercial fishermen. If you are fishing with a captain that does not know what a Roffers report is chances are you are only going for a boat ride! Number two, If you are going to compete in the tournaments invest in a Mako magnet they work! I have seen sharks, tuna and blues come right up and put their nose on the thing. Number three, Makos return to the same wreaks and edges ever year, seek out information as to what areas hold makos when the conditions are right. Number four, A crew with a plan. Every crew member should know how to leader a mako, gaff, shoot and run the boat. Number five, you want to be the first boat on the wreak, leave early and run hard! Number six, stay on the structure! not almost on the edge, on the edge! Number seven, make sure your bait is alive and your chum is fresh. Today the wind is out of the north east. The marsh is under water, the tide is about a 5.7 and it is raining.
