Wow! Too close for comfort for me! You were wondering what they taste like... He was probably wondering that about you!

I have never fished DP. Surf launch?

You have your choice between a harbor boat launch, harbor baby beach launch; or for the adventurous, a surf launch out of Doheny.

These guys are certainly out there, in greater numbers than I believe most people think. Anyone who has fished/surfed the San Onofre/Trestles area with any regularity can attest to this. I had an 8-10 footer maul a HUGE halibut I had hung for about 35mins (light line) off the domes.....about 10ft off the bow of my kayak, in only 12ft of water! Pretty cool to see, but bummed on that hali.

That's the 3rd one I've seen there in the last year.

Lot's of GWS in our area. When I worked at the wharf one of our captains found a half dead baby in the harbor. There's a really big one that hangs around SanO sometimes. I forgot her name, but she's bumped a few people.

I've been told there's a GWS hatchery in the area and the mother has made several appearances over the years.

I don't know if you have seen this video, but it will give you an idea of what size the sharks out in the San O area are and how calm they are about people being around.

Not sure I would be as calm as the guy on the kayak, but I love sharks so I would still love to see one...... just not the mom.
