Kayak Color and sharks... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

well done, nice and interesting, I like the camo theory for the sharks and the kelp...a shark theme on a yak...that would proably sell....I wonder if one could find a "wrap" to stick to a yak...hmmmm....

What was the type of paint that was used?

Great info on this matter Jim. Ive wondered a lot about this, but I guess the real test is just time on the water?

Very Well Done piece of information, Jim!!! Color has always been on my mind when I step up for a new one. Have you ever heard the term YUM YUM Yellow? had heard about this way back when with no follow up, Any ideas? .....H

That said: I don't think I would ever buy red yellow or orange kayak, but that is because of another behavior.

I'll call this the Yum Yum yellow factor.

Phaaqing great! I just bought a yellow Torque! Thanks...LMFAO. That's why I C & R all Threshers.....you never know when a T's cousin, Whitey or Mako is in the mood for a nibble or is pissed you harvested a family member!

Good info...but from my past experience...when your time is up, your time is up! I used to think there was a bullet out there with my name on it. Well, I made it out. I guess it wasn't my time then. Hopefully, its not now or anytime soon, especially by way bleeding out due to getting munched.

It is the Pacific Ocean, there are dangers abound, and you are entering their food chain....That said, Hey Rik, do you have another demo, say in Camo?

Just one quick final thought.....sometimes when I am sitting out there all alone, clear or gray skies, dusk or dawn, I get the major 'turtle is peeking' syndrome in my @ss! Don't really know what it is, but it sure as hell makes you think....the Tax Man is out there! That's usually when I call it quits for the day!

Krylon Fusion for Plastic...

It's alright: it sticks but not like automotive or a good paint on glass or metal. Slowly wears off but it's OK and I think it does stick better then standard spray paint.

I subscribe to the theory that sometimes you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This pic is the NorCal dude that almost got chomped this past August. So much for the shark shield pattern on the yak.

I think it was looking for creme filling!
