Damn this thread went south fast! Everyones attacking Team Sewer guys for just keeping it real, even if there is a little sarcasm involved! Even suggesting going to another site??? + Dissing this site??? WTF

NickC5 I have nothing bad to say about your original post. I thought it was informative and do appreciate it as a safety concern. It is important and others including myself can learn from your situation+ I am thankful that you didn't run to the news media and only kept it on this site. I do like watching real footage of these instances to help prepare myself on what to expect during these situations. However posting on a public forum like this you will always get responses you don't like. Its just part of the gig. Try not to take it too personal. I hope you keep posting.

I also appreciate Ful-Racs post and opinions of him sharing his take on this. His take is valid (whether liked or not) and the guy spends a lot of time otw. It is also valuable to know as he explains this isn't a rare situation and chances are you are eventually going to have an encounter or even get bumped when fishing the Jewel. This is good to know if you plan on fishing LJ

Anyhow Im not here to diss anyone just thought Id add to this for no reason. This thread does have some good info here... As well as entertainment! Damn that guy Jorluivil is funny!

Looks like you had some fun out there. I had quite a few run-ins with a hammerhead here in Malibu. As you said really awesome and graceful when there are others around, when you are alone though... that's another story.

Glad you didn't get knocked out of the kayak.

My run in, involved a 8 ft hammer head broadsiding my kayak and attaching itself to my gameclip thrashing about for 30 seconds. Had to slap its flat stupid looking head with my fishing rod. Then it circled me for about 5 minutes as I paddled all alone back to shore. Learned my lesson not hang fish off the side.

In the future what I might suggest is sacrificing one of those lings you had there. That's how I got the shark off my tail. I threw a calico that I had about 30 ft from my kayak and left. The shark will go after that.
