Thanks for the post!

Just a reminder affective July 5, 2022 there is a fishing ban on short fin Mako.

Link- Federal Register :: Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Shortfin Mako Shark Retention Limit

It's not a "fishing ban" it a ban on possession. IOW you can still fish for them but you have to let them go.
