Keep your feet in the kayak... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

These fish are well known to eat in the dark and have some nasty teeth

.

We've all heard the stories of Great White Sharks, Seven Gills, Makos, and the who could deny the population of Thresher Sharks in La Jolla this time of year. Plenty of sharp objects below us at all times, so don't tempt fate. Remember to quickly bleed your fish and properly secure them on deck. Even though I haven't seen Knothead in a while, the possibility of a Sealion ripping your catch from your frightened hands is quite real. Especially if you're not paying close attention, maybe while the adrenaline is flowing with a giant fish attached to your gaff. This isn't written to scare anyone, especially you guys new to the sport. With a name like "The pond" kayak fishing in places like La Jolla is extremely safe for the most part. This is just a reminder to have respect for mother ocean and be prepared for the unexpected.

Just in case you're wondering, yes, that's the teeth marks from a large shark... Keep your feet in the kayak.
