DP White Sighting 6-16-17 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

shrkb8t · 06-19-2017, 12:24 PM

I was out of Dana Point Harbor kayak fishing for leopard sharks & halibuts friday, when a great white "pup" came up to bump the side of my kayak, i thumped him on the nose with the butt end of my fishing rod. i quickly started chasing him while video taping him. then facetimed my wife so she could see it live, she wasn't happy with me...

LONG BEACH (CBSLA.com) — The combination of hot weather, big crowds at the beach seeking relief from the heat, and the rash of recent shark sightings has lifeguards on alert this weekend.

With temperatures inland expected to hit triple digits this weekend, and not let up until next weekend, authorities are preparing for large influx of people at Southern California’s beaches – which have been closed on and off, up and down the coast because of shark sightings, swarms and attacks throughout the spring.

“We’ll keep an eye out, but we’ll probably stay kind of close to the shore,” a beachgoer from Sacramento said.

Making things worse are reports of people throwing shark food into the water to lure them closer to shore.

“We’ve gotten reports of possibly people chumming,” Long Beach Marine Safety Capt. Cameron Abel said. “From our standpoint, it’s a public safety concern. What we don’t want is sharks to become accustomed and conditioned to looking to humans for food.”

Chumming is not illegal, but lifeguards are cracking down on dumping of waste of any kind.

If this is true, which it probably is, what Idiots!

sounds like a bunch of people who don't enjoy the beach on a regular basis looking for a thrill. Possibly endangering those of us who regularly enjoy our local waters.

So much for the butts and rays off capistrano this year

Putting a bait in the water at Dohenny is basically chumming right now. The sharks have been there for weeks and it has been on every network. Just like Sea Lions, if you know they are around then fish somewhere else. Rewarding either species for hanging around kayaks is not a good long term strategy.

Considering your username, maybe you shouldnt have been chasing down a GWS.

No chum used to get the video. just using bait barge sardines on the bottom with my 20lbs halibut rig, i was in 11'-13' of water, my line had just snag the bottom and broke off, i was reeling in the line when i seen a grey shadow heading for the side of my 12' hobie outback . it's amazing to see a GWS, never had any issues with sea lions in this area.
I like ingridsdad idea, sounds like an E-Ticket Ride.
