I have to admit, that day changed the way I think in terms of kayaking alone late in afternoon with a bloody Yellowtail in the back of my kayak. That shark was almost as big as my kayak. As soon as a saw him I stopped moving and sat nervously still.

The GW circled me a few time and cruised under me and disappeared. May thru July is when see a lot big sharks in La Jolla.

Yea what he said! Break out the steel leader wire with a HUGE hook on it and half a yellowtail!

Actually, I was on a charter out of San Diego a bunch of years back and we were killing small yellowtail. One of the deck hands spotted a shark fin and hooked the better half of a Bonita on a big honkin hook and chucked it right in front of the sharks path. He didn't hook up but I was rather impressed with the accuracy displayed with the cast. Not sure what kind of shark it was but it was a sizable dorsal fin and the tail fin was certainly not a Thresher.

Ive heard if you urinate in the water it can attract sharks. It resembles a fish panicking and or being attacked.
Kinda like bears with menstration but sharks and pee....

lowprofile · 05-09-2013, 08:15 PM

come across them multiple times. a possible small 4fter in Oceanside harbor, a 7fter out of Newport one in LJ that was just as long as my PA14...

if you can see them, your OK. its the ones you don't see you have to worry about.

I'm kinda a shark magnet if you haven't noticed... thats why i don't fish for other game fish that often.

apparently 2 "large sharks" seen (by helicopter) within 15-20 feet of surfers, in Manhattan Beach area.

ho hum... as said above, fear not the enemy you see, but fear the enemy you don't see.!

For me seeing the tax man the 1st time was a religious experience, I knew I was in the presence of greatness. We both knew if he wanted me, I would never see him coming. He was just enriching my life by saying hi!

TJones · 07-12-2013, 07:39 AM

and then toss a bait .

makobob · 07-12-2013, 07:47 AM

Yea, but what do you do when the kids ask, "can we keep him, and take him home?"

FishNinjaY · 07-13-2013, 09:05 AM

could be worse...

I guess this is a new movie, just out this month. Something of a social media hit.. Looks good to me!

ful-rac · 07-13-2013, 02:42 PM

Holy shit!! Its Steve Sanders!!!

90210 to.....Sharknado?!

Boy...times are tough...!

StinkyMatt · 05-09-2013, 06:01 PM

I just installed air bags on the outside of my car.

I added a second set of rain gutters, just in case the first one leaks.

I also have two spare tires, you never know.

You elect to go sit on a plastic stick in the middle of the ocean that is full of sharks.

Lack of Wsb reports is more scary than the tax man.

Hey.... I seen your House and you dont have Rain Gutters!! but I know someone who does...

good info and entertaining posts, thanks guys. I guess if I am ever blessed to see one slowly cruising by I will just sit and enjoy the fact that I get to see such a magnificent creature so close. Like you all have said if its my time its my time, if it isn't, I got to experience something much of the population hasn't.
