SHARK swam after my kayak in carpinteria - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Blue sharks are very curious. Do you have fish finder? They can sense the pings. They are attracted to the splashing of your paddles and the Sea Lion shape of small boats and Yaks. IÂ’ve had them come up and chew on the prop on my outboard motor in the skiff. They are quite docile, but they will try to check you out by coming really close. As a diver this can be disconcerting. A large Mako or White will aggressively bump you because they donÂ’t like you in their territory. Leave immediately and smoothly with a minimum of splashing. Never hit them with your paddle! This just pisses them off! You can gently push them away and leave the area.
