Orcas - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I don't think there is anything you can do to prepare for an Orca incident. Short of being prepared for anything, and knowing how to get back on your kayak. While a VHF is always a good idea, it is not likely to help in an Orca attack unless it only sinks your kayak. I am pretty sure that the only recorded incidents have been with captive Orcas too. They are very intelligent animals and are very selective about what they eat. Personally I would love to see them, if only for their shark deterrant effect
