Shark attack at Big Corona Beach on Sunday afternoon? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was fishing Newport Harbor yesterday and didn't hear about this until I got home. I was just the other side of the jetty from where this happened. Anyone know any details of the woman who was attacked? Rumor has it that it was a great white, but the news report didn't say whether she was swimming, wading, in a kayak (heaven forbid) or what. Lots of sea lions about, so not really surprising I guess.

Surprised there's enough ambiguity that they have to qualify it as a "suspected shark"

I was fishing by the the bait barge in my float tube that afternoon. When you think that a GWS can travel up to 250 miles a day it seems like closing the beaches after the fact is more about reassuring beach goers than being an effective measure to protect folk from further attacks.

Yep, sharks live in the ocean.
