I found a good article with some solutions. http://modernkayakfishing.com/articl...-n-with-sharks

FYI, I was fishing LJ on monday and tuesday. On monday evening on my way in near the yellow buoy, I saw a dead seal floating in the water. It was upside down with fins out. I saw no signs of sharks circling the dead seal. Perhaps this dead seal brought this great white to the area.

Or maybe what killed it was still lurking around. There is so much speculation. Over the last 30 years I have surfed, bodyboarded, fished, and now Kayaked our ocean areas here in San Diego and have seen some very interesting and humbling creatures while doing all of them. We have to remember we are going into their world and realize that sometimes they may be a little curious to what we are. Still that does not comfort us, but with all the seals being protected now we are now paddling or peddling into their dinning rooms. I pray that none of us becomes their snack. Keep it safe as much as you can.

I spotted the fin in the same area near the condo late Thursday morning. It looked like it was rummaging around on the surface. I had no blood on deck and my kayak isn't red so I watched it for a while before heading in.

That reminds me... I also saw one of those giant ray looking creatures with its fin 3ft out of the water.

The sighting only verifies the fact that they are here, which we all know. But they are here year round sighted or not. Now, let's go fishing!
