Big new is happening just across the border from Alabama. One of the most prestigeous catches from the surf is a land based mako shark catch. With the news of the recent 11 foot mako shark land based catch this November, we have planned a trip December 12th to Pensacola in search of mako sharks chasing bonito down the beach. We are looking for a eight to ten person turn out, with anglers coming from as far away as North Carolina and New York. Last year a much larger mako shark was landed in the surf than the recent 11 foot mako.

Along with the makos, we expect to see hammerhead and tiger sharks. We will report in after the trip.
