"He's coming right for us!!!!!"
just wait until knothead or one of the other Alpha's catches you with a WSB or YT on deck....
, you just may change your sea dog lov'in ways! From what I've seen/experienced with the alpha's, it's amazing that someone hasn't gotten injured....yet.
slingshots, paintballs, smacks up side the head with the paddle, have all proved pretty ineffective, or even get them more determined ....leaving the area, only fishing the iron and ignoring them seems to be the best, but sometimes it takes a while for them to loose interest.....kill a mack, stuff a dried habanero pepper (or two) down its stomach and feed the poor hungry dog, repeat if needed.
Be carful out there!!
