Blood free kayaks in LJ are recommended - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

After surfing for years in Humboldt Co. seeing seals, sea lions, and elephants seals dead on the beach with beer keg sized bites out of them I just asume that there are sharks in the ocean with me. Mostly for the sea lion issue when I land a fish, it gets bled through the scupper hole, wrapped in a damp towel, and stowed in the hatch. Then I use a sponge to rinse the deck down. Maybe this will stop a blood trail too. I see guys with fish strapped in plain sight in thier tank wells. Maybe that works but I have been "shopped" by huge dogs that lift themselves so high out of the water that they are looking down on me. I have no doubt that if I had had a fish on deck they would have come right in to my lap for it. Mike
