Ive found it to be between 10 and 12 miles myself. All the way to Avalon from Dana Point --half hitting mainland half hitting Avalon. Not 4G but signal.

I have VZW and don't get a strong enough signal to place a call out of LJ 5-7 miles. I know Dana and San Diego have more cell site then LJ. Installing them is what I do for a living.

A-ha! There had to be a downside to La Jolla.

I say f these HHs and whites. You need to figure out a way to protect yourself and a VHF radio may not cut it when you're 3 miles from the nearest person. I had one of these Aholes following me for about an hour and all the while circling my yak and banging the back of it. There's only one way there going to learn. And f PETA too.

If you can't run from it, then give it the runs.

A handgun is overkill. Just prepare a few bricks of dried chum supplemented with laxative. When you get a pesky hammerhead that refuses to go away and ready to ruin your day, tie a brick to a floater and toss it overboard. Then pedal or paddle away.

This hammerhead shark thing all started after I had my $70 shark dive knife knocked off my leg in surf at la jolla launch. I had one shark come be side me and turned his head sideways and we looked each other in the eye and then it bolted straight under my kayak down into the obis reminded me of the whale in the movie castaways....

Instead of laxatives
How bout like a medicated cookie
Mellow the sharks out
Even if they got the munchies
Theyd just forget about it anyway
