uptownangler.com — Dana Point Marina, San Diego, We travelled to San Diego to hunt mako sharks on 12 weight fly line. Armed with orange and red bait patterns, steel tippet and our Scott 12 wt rods, we boarded Conrway Bowman's 26 center console Triton and headed west 8 miles into the blue Pacific Ocean in search of an amazing game fish, the Mako Shark.
