Sea Lions do come uncomfortable close to kayakers to attack our catch, sometimes boarding or flipping a kayak. I would consider that a life threatening situation while I was a couple of miles offshore in a kayak.

Are we (kayakers) allowed to defend ourselves when faced with an attacking Sea lion ? Its not like they are defenseless.

-If for instance I was legally fishing in front of the Children's Pool and a Seal or Sea Lion try to board my kayak to steal a Calico Bass sitting in my rear well. Could I shoot him because I was in fear of loosing my life ?
-I would sure like to know.

Does Kalifornia allow kayakers to carry a bang stick or firearm on board ?
