Ok, here is the fish that dreams are made of. They get huge (1,000 pounds huge), they are known to swim 40+ mph, they will leap 20 feet into the
air when hooked, and they taste great. They are some imposing looking sharks, with a terrible set of teeth and ferocious appetite.
Fishing for makos is most productive in the waters south of Martha's Vineyard, especially if you can find a nice temperature break and some good bottom
topography. As productive as the waters south of the Vineyard are, the waters around Stellwagen Bank are probably more famous for BIG MAKOS. These sharks are feeding on the
huge schools of bluefish that inundate our waters in late June and July. As the blues are staging on top of Stellwagen, the makos are there feeding as well.
