| Was just to nice a day to stay home. Tim and I loaded up RECESS for a day on the water. Out of P Cola pass around 0630. Not more then then 1to2s so we decided to run to Petronus. Two and a half hours later and we were there. water conditions at petronus was 2-3 there were two large oil boats docked up. We trolled around the area, with no luck. The water was a pale green and 67.8 degrees. We were marking fish from 150 -400 feet. We decided to some deep jigging so we both tied 210 grams butterfly jigs. we both stayed hooked up everytime we went down. Blackfin after blackfin with a rainbow runner now and then. We were marking fish deeper but could not get through the blackfins. We never seen any YFTs on the surface. We seen some comotion, about 1/4 mile away and thought it might be a YFT , Tim rigged a spinner as we got to it we saw it was a Large Mako shark , alot bigger then neither one of us wanted to tangle with. So , back to the rigs for more Blackfin again, something on the surface to the south As we got there, we didnt see anything except small blackfins, Tim casted to the area and immediately The mako in the picture shown hit the top water plug. With the shark in the box, we decided to run to the marathon jacket. there we were met with 25-50 pound AJ's on every drop. With both of us tired, we decided to call it a Day. A short stop on one of our bottom spots yielded this one scamp and lots of extinct gulf red snapper. Back at Sherman cove, at 3:30 Now it's time for Tim to clean some fish. The Mako was legal by two inches. 
you never know unless you go.
