Mako's

[Davy Holt]

Hiya,

 

Since the so called Great White sighting, I've been wondering.. just when was the last time a fully authenticated Mako was caught inshore in UK waters???

 

The girl that supposedly seen the Great White also claimed there was a Mako feeding further out, I’d love to know how she identified it at a distance.

Hiya,

She probably had a GREAT WHITE hunter with her just after she had a MAKEOVER.

 

Then again she could work for a well known Sea Angling magazine and just made a simple gaff.

 

Or does she work for the local tourist board :confused:

 

Sorry Davy, just could'nt resist it

Well the Mako and the Great white are both mackerel sharks and a small great white and a mako would not be difficult to confuse.

 

I really don't see what all the controversy is about. Someone saw a Great White round our coasts. Big deal! It had to happen sometime. Mako, blue and thresher also visit from time to time, none of this is news.
