Running into the taxman, what do you do? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If yo were really worried about it then just go into some thick kelp. It will make it more difficult for it to maneuver into an optimal position for an attack. Personally I wish I could see one everytime I go out. If I can see him than the dogs can see him and he will be less likely to go for stuff on my line. Well that may be wishful thinking

but i would rather lose a fish to the white than to a dog.

the other day the dogs acted like he was not there . they kept sunbathing , and then all of a sudden one less dog was around .

. and this shark was no gentle giant . he was hungry and agitated .

"HOLY SARDINE" is right

. Just find a shark repellant that does not make the sharks go explosive on you

I think I'll keep my 8' push pole with me or buy a longer gaff.

FYI: I don't know about you guys but I bought a titanium scuba knife for emergencies (in case I get "bumped" off my yak and into the water), it straps on nicely over my waders on the calf.

I figure if I go, I'm going down swingin'.

If he comes after me

, I'm going to at least try to get a refund!
