thanks fkr the question!
The Shortfin Mako shark is the greatest saltwater gamefish on the west coast.
So, i figured out that there is a great volume of these fish off the San Diego coast
i started prosecuting these waters 20 plus years ago and figured out that the mako shark migrates to these waters beginning in early spring and hang out until October.
I also figured out they love to eat the fly!!!
chumming during the biggest tides May thru October has proven to benched best time to target makos
presenting a large saltwater fly (8/0) with a 14wt rod/reel and floating line is the best approach
