Enough with wasting your time reading posts on Hammerheads. I could of blown this up on the news already, since my pops and half the family instantly hit up the news, but i didn't. I'm a member of this community and value what this type of fishing does for me. OK.....!

I saw my first hammerhead over a year ago and was super excited by the experience and even posted a cell phone photo. I get a kick out of seeing crazy sh*t and just add it to my many experiences.
It is understandable to post your "first" wild experience with the shark. It is also understandable to not want these sightings in the media because of fear of closing the Jewel's Beach Launch, which is my favorite place on earth. I just wanted to give a big shout to my good friend seaquinn who was on the rescue boat. You helped a soul who sounded like he really need help. Awesome job buddy. |

We should not underestimate the importance of safety and common sense. Downplaying or white-washing the importance of your experience and lessons learned would be as much of a disservice to our community as those who over-hype it with fear mongering.

Hammerhead on kayaker's tail.... LJ
Quote:
I'm glad they were there to assist. I was pedaling for 45min before I reached them. No one could see or hear me. Btw, my recently caught LING'S did not provoke the chase. The hammerhead was feeding and exploding bait on the surface. I just so happened to be 25 yards away and decided to book it. (All of gopro) Thats when dude decides to take my Mac. He was aggressive and was not leaving me alone. Even after he broke me off. I guess I really pissed him off cause we were both in a honey hole!! I'll post an actual report once I get this edited to the way I want it! NC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hi Nick! I look forward to your video. Mine does not show much, but it does show the shark. In real life, it looked much larger. (I'm sure from the kayak, with nobody else around, it looked really BIG!
This info is only for our site, but everyone just needs to be aware they are out there, not usually dangerous, hopefully, but especially any newbies just gotta be aware and prepared. I'm gonna start bringing my floating radio from now on as well. Even if I don't need it, one day there may be a sinking canoe (like Chris helped with) or who knows what.... just want to be safe. Cheers all..... what a year! |

While we are on the subject of safety and lessons learned, what would be the benefit of a VHF radio on a kayak if nobody can see or hear you? Do the VHF radios kayak fishermen tend to use broadcast GPS coordinates?
I have thought about buying one, but I am unsure of the benefits or which model to choose. I do carry my iPhone. I use the iPhone GPS features for the Navionics chart plotting app as well as the regular iPhone map functions. Are there other good apps for pinpointing GPS coordinates? ----- What else is good for a safety checklist? I carry a bilge pump and a tow rope. I always have a knife handy. I have a roll of radiator repair tape that is strong like duct tape but sticks to itself on wet surfaces. I have a cloth wrap bandage in a packet in case someone gets gaffed or ripped by a fish hook. It can be used as a tourniquet or other multi-purpose applications. I discovered a few weeks ago that I should carry a Phillips screwdriver in case the rudder strings come off or need adjusting. Three of us were fishing together. I couldn't fix the loose rudder with a knife tip or what else I had on board. We ended up holding both kayaks together and I steered for the both of us. From far out, trying to paddle an Outback on rough water with the rudder up is a huge pain in the butt. Peddling in together and steering from one boat was the better choice. A screwdriver and fishing buddies could have solved the problem out where we were fishing. The one I added to my safety kit is drilled with a nylon wrist strap so I don't lose it in the water. Just trying to think ahead a little so we can be better prepared in the future.

Your phone will cut out and not work 5-7 miles out. The radio will grab coast guard and other boats in area. I take both with me at all times. If just fishing LJ radio stays in dry bag. If offshore phone goes in dry bag.

Ive found it to be between 10 and 12 miles myself. All the way to Avalon from Dana Point --half hitting mainland half hitting Avalon. Not 4G but signal.

I have VZW and don't get a strong enough signal to place a call out of LJ 5-7 miles. I know Dana and San Diego have more cell site then LJ. Installing them is what I do for a living.
