Christopher Deaver, SHARK FISHING HANDBOOK

A giant Mako shark was caught in the Gulf of Mexico about 400 yards away from the beach, near Perdido Pass. The video below tells the story. There have been several mako sharks captured close to the beach, or from the beach, in Florida. The best time to fish for mako sharks from the beach in Florida is in the late fall during the bonita blitz. See Florida Shark Fishing for more details. Florida is a great fishing destination for shark fishermen from South Carolina that are looking for a little more adventure. While South Carolina is known for large tiger sharks, Florida is known for giant hammerhead sharks and large bull sharks.
