Torrey pines reef GPS - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was out there on opening day of lobster season. Great Sandbass, few big Calicos. I was freediving Torrey Pines artificial reef #2 with two other buds. Myself and another each speared a nice sandie and tossed them into the boat. On my 10th dive on the reef, with a really good breath-hold, I rested down on the reef watching a group of calicos when 10' in front of me passes an 8' Great White. As he got directly in front of me he turned away. Glad I didn't have a dead fish on my belt.
I believe the amount of bait from the lobster traps attracted him. They are out there. Off Boomers I saw an 8' sevengil shark in 25' of water. And this time of year the soupfins start coming into the kelp.
