Unprovoked White Shark Attacks on Kayakers - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I bought a sling shot (HD) and pepper balls to use the next time I have a run in with one. If that doesn't work I 'm also carrying SS ball bearing shot to aim at his nose.

Met a guy in Newport this past Monday that says his kayak was hit by a baby great white in Long Beach this past November. I'm not sure if it was a great white, but he said he had teeth mark around the bow. The tone is his voice as he told me the story added a sense of realness to it. Anyone else here about this?

Probably not seeing how juvenile GWS only eat fish. They have not yet developed the teeth they need for tearing. Now, if he had fish dangling in the water, that would be another story.

Very glad no sharks here just crazy people in big boats.

There are hundreds of sea lions and harbor seals in LJ right now - I think this might be the breeding season......now is the time try to minimize the blood trail....ie the guy last year who was fishing in blood soaked sweatpants....and if that fails..try to fish near a yellow or red non-hobie yak...
