Highlights:
The Mako fishes with live bait, as well as various artificial lures, and uses quality, well-maintained spin, and conventional light tackle. I endorse the practice of “catch and release”, but will gladly keep and clean some fish for your dinner. When traveling to and from the fishing grounds you can enjoy the pristine surroundings while getting an intimate encounter with many of the areas of marine inhabitants.
