Capt Andy and Rich hooked up with New England shark authority Capt Bill Brown (860 741-3301).  Bill Brown is a prolific outdoor writer, seminar speaker, successful tournament angler and one of the finest fishermen we have ever met. It is not easy to target Mako sharks in the Northeast, but Bill felt he knew where to get us one.  Sure enough he came through as he did back 2004!  The techniques and tackle in this show can be used by anyone who dares to chase these fearsome creatures.  If you have questions about any of the equipment used during the show, please contact us or  send us a message
The outfits used consisted of a Shimano TLDII-50 and  Tyrnos 30 2-speed reels on a 5'8" XH Tallus conventional rods rated for 30-60lb and 20-40lb test line respectively.  These are the prefect outfits for this type of fishing.

The 30lb reels were loaded with 50lb Berkley Big Game and the 50lb reels were loaded with 80lb.  A 6ft leader of #14 Malin single strand wire is attached to a 8ft leader 400lb Yo-Zuri Disappearing Pink Fluorocarbon leader with crimped offshore loops using a 330lb SPRO Power Swivel.  The rig is completed with a 10/0 Mustad O'Shaugnessy hook attached to the wire.  The main line is attached to the rig using a 200lb SPRO ball bearing snap swivel.

All the tackle used on Northeast Angling is stored in Ameripack tackle systems.  The Backpack Tackle system is used to get the tackle to the fish!  All the rods and reels are transported using the Rod Pods and the Reel Locker.  They insure that everything makes it to the shoot in perfect condition.  Their versatile Fly Boxes are also used for bucktails and rigs.

The raging current made the net choice especially critical.  A Frabill Powercatch net with it's extendable handle was used and ensured that none of the fish were lost at boat-side.  This is a a great net that stores easily and all you have to do is slide, lock and load and it is ready to go!
The boat used was a 2895CC Triton powered by twin 250hp Mercury Verados.  This boat is the real deal. With a deep-v hull and sharp entry, the 2895 will knife through big seas that would leave most boats back at the dock.  The deck layout makes it the perfect platform for both inshore and offshore, plugging, trolling, or fishing your favorite hot spot at anchor.  Click here to learn more about this incredible boat or click here to learn about the gear and Raymarine electronics on this boat.
Andy & Rich and the entire crew stayed at the Island Home (401-466-5944).  This is a beautiful restored Victorian Bed & Breakfast. The inn is conveniently located between the village of Old Harbor and the Great Salt Pond, with panoramic views of the harbor, ocean and surrounding countryside. The warm & comfortable setting, with inviting rooms, cozy nooks and sprawling lawns make the inn ideal for winding down after a day of fishing.  It is also perfect for a family getaway, and only a short walk to town, beaches and marinas. 
LoadRite supplied the tandem axel roller trailed used to haul the boat.  This trailer made launching and recovery a breeze and provided a real sense of security on the road.  Click here to locate the LoadRite dealer nearest to you.
