No Me gusta the big curious sharks when I'm out there alone. Only seen one once, but it still gives me the heeby jeebies.

It is like the rides at Disneyland "Keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle until it has come to a complete halt". My feeling is that I am not going to outrun any big shark, so I don't want to make myself look like fleeing prey. If it is getting too close, and I have the chance, I am aiming for a shot to the nose.

Is it legal to use seal bombs? It seams like a shark would not want to hang around ant big BANGS!

Just wanted to throw in this anecdote.

Couple weeks ago off Dana I was circled for a good 10 min by a curious mako that didn't even want anything to do with the mack that was out. He just circled, circled, circled. Finally I had enough and paddled toward it to check IT out; see how it felt about it. I got w/in a few yards, chasing it down and it took off like a torpedo. It's fin was still out and I followed its bow wake (w my eyes) for a good 50yds as it split 0-60 in like 3 secs, and I never saw it again.

I think sharks I see now get paddled toward, not away from.

I did a search for shark repellant and bang stick came up. I don't think I like the idea of having something that could blow a hole in my kayak if it accidentally went off. I don't really want to kill or damage the shark. Possibly in my budget though. Here is a link to that http://www.bluewaterhunter.com/shops...angsticks.html

Also found this http://www.sharkshield.com/ they have Jim Sammons on there site. I wonder if it really works. A bit pricy @ 500 for something I may never have to use.
