Had Elliott's 5th birthday and made tacos for about 13 people.
Used the whole fish, minus the collars and some sashimi I made Sat. evening.

Yeah - that's the tiburon that stole my bait on Thursday. I see he's a lil' fatter today

Are Hammers good eating? Never see them on ice @ Catalina Offshore.

tacmik · 08-29-2015, 02:58 PM

Damn. Might have to just launch at the marine room. Damn tourists, scared of a little fish.

mclanea · 08-29-2015, 03:18 PM

Like @skrilla I got grilled coming in. Like 10 people must have asked me if I was the one who got followed in by a shark, I think it happened a few minutes before I landed.

Wasn't me. I was out from 5:45 to 11:45. When I came in at 11:45 the kayak outfitters were telling everyone within ear shot about it.

HobieScot · 08-30-2015, 09:38 AM

I just noticed that the news report on this hammerhead (with the same video included) was now on my Facebook feed from KTLA 5 news. I don't subscribe or like them so they are posting the report to our FB feeds wether we like it or not

Watch the wide spread panic begin

Won't be long now till they decide to close it for a longer period of time

So dumb...we're in their house, had one swim right between me and another yak on Thursday..no biggie..they just want to eat. The main difference between yakers and land dwellers is the yakers are the wolves and the land dwellers who are uneducated and afraid are the sheep in this chaos called society. You don't see any yakers freaking out, dude just wants some fish and if there is blood in the water of course he is going to sniff it out..NO SH&^ huh.....MAIN STREAM MEDIA STRIKES AGAIN!!!

TINCANYAK · 08-31-2015, 08:51 AM

I know the feeling too well and posted my encounter last Sunday as I too was bumped several times last Sunday along the DP break wall on the paddle back in. Sheds light on fish bags, shark shields and keeping the yak clean so as not to leave a fish slick for them to follow up on. Who got bumped? Would be interesting to learn from their circumstances?

We were bumped in Malibu Sunday, Lj Friday and Saturday. Keep your fish on board. I was the one that was interviewed and video tapped. They sure edited the crap out of it. Last time I allow that to happen.

HobieScot · 08-31-2015, 11:59 AM

Leopard sharks are always in the surf! We used to catch them in the surf at night all the time.

As for our regular every day shark sightings we need to keep them to ourselves on this board. Don't share them with the public and especially not with any authority figure like DFG or life guards or the like.

Any mention of sharks to the public just opens the situation for the media to grab a hold of the story and sensationalize it

A simple HH sighting that a kayaker sees as innocent yet exciting becomes headlines in the news

"Local kayaker stalked by hungry hammerhead shark. News at 11"

As we have seen the media will sensationalize any story to increase viewership

The better we keep our shark stories restricted to this board and to others that understand what is happening with the Sharks this year the better.

[QUOTE=jorluivil;240084]My wife said I can't fish anymore because there are sharks in the water but She's ok with me riding my bike in the streets of L.A.?

Hahaha > your wife probably added a Double indemnity death by bike policy when she bought you that new road bike....

Double indemnity is a clause or provision in a life insurance or accident policy whereby the company agrees to pay the stated multiple (i.e., 10X) of the face amount in the contract in cases of death

no life insurance coverage for shark death - $1 mil payout if bike death

good news she said there will be plenty of money to have an awesome paddle out party for you at LaJolla Shores...

TINCANYAK · 08-31-2015, 04:52 PM

So I get the impression that the general consensus is that when an 8+ foot hammerhead is bumping your kayak its' not something to be concerned or freak out about? After all, he does not want to EAT/Bite me but simply wants what I want laying in front of me? My Jack Russell has the same undeterred focus at dinner time and does not warrant any action other that "go away Moby", repeat several times. I feel sort of grateful for the experience with Mr. Hammerhead at Dana Point and perhaps with time as I paddle into the ranks beyond "Junior" such wisdom will be passed along with a more mature understanding of nature. Should I now target the beast for the that ultimate sled ride? That was insane! Such composure. Crap, this is all adding up with the fish bag, shark shield and now the GoPro to record the final run. Insured wife says "you will go doing something that you love", God bless her and the kids.

ful-rac · 08-31-2015, 04:55 PM

Don't be concerned about it....

If it attacks and kills you....just don't tell anybody about it...O.K!

iethinker · 08-31-2015, 06:04 PM

Just got my wire leader! You know Dasher and Dancer and Comet...etc...and Hammerhead

It's a Road Glide and not a road bike

HobieScot · 09-01-2015, 10:13 AM

If a reporter asks any of us if we've seen a shark out there while kayak fishing the safest answer for all of us is to say "nope, never seen one"

With enough of us saying the same thing the media "should" loose interest pretty quickly

Then we can go on our merry way and continue to enjoy ourselves without any further beach closures

Don't forget that this is a public forum.

HELLSTER INC. · 09-06-2015, 06:20 AM

That totally sucks!!

Yesterday I was dragging bait across the canyon and got bite, as soon as I tried to set the hook the line went limp.........wtf? I start to reel hoping that the fish swam towards me but the whole time I had no pressure on the line. As soon as I pulled my line out the I noticed it was completely fraid, not wanting to know what it was I kept going.

bracks · 09-06-2015, 07:36 AM

Saturday AM 9/5, I went with my family to the cove so the kids could play. I wish I had my phone (camera) as one of the sea lions laying out had a perfect series of gashes in a semi-circle on its back. Looked to be about a 12 inch bite, so perhaps a juvenile (?).
