If it was a great white the seals would have abandoned you long before you spotted it or you would have seen a seal turn into a cloud of blood with half of it trying to swim away. If the shark is obviously not hunting, the seals would have been long gone before it showed up. If it was hunting you would never have seen it near the surface.

You probably saw a juvenile GW. They are always around just not seen as often. If you've put in the time on the water your judgement call is what I'd go with. The responses that say "if it were a GWS then the seals would have left the area." clearly forget to take into consideration that GWS eat seals...so there is always going to be one unlucky dog out there in the wrong place at the wrong time. On a side note, this year in Seal Beach we had a seal wash a shore that had been attacked by what was estimated to be an 8-10 foot white he was too small to finish the job so he wound up only maiming it. It died from its wounds and the waves brought it in.

Its not true the sealions would be gone. Sealions will flank and annoy a cruising white since they are more manuverable. The white either not in feed mode or in fish feed mode. When its in mammal feed mode it wont be seen until the red cloud.

Why would you use Desitin when lube works much better.

If eyes could talk....the surface is a small area in the water colum....I'm sure it's a game of cat and mouse between sharks and everything else...I fished LJ once a week for 6 months and now it's time to move and not because of sharks this encounter did not scare me off the water...what man witness is not even the tip of the iceberg of events that go on every day in the ocean like a bad ass swordfish caught sleeping and gets its tail bit off ect ect ect I would say it's just depends how hungry somethings is before I would judge it's actions plus mistake in identity for sure... thanks for the out put tight lines my friends and I'll tell you all about it when I see it again

5 years ago I had my 1st encounter with a great white in La Jolla. Coming in on a summer day approaching the 1st buoy, I would always throw my left over live bait to the sea lions that would sit on the buoy. That buoy is long gone now. This particular day 2 sea lions were on the buoy. As I approached I went to launch a live bait at em when all of a sudden they perked up and froze with their noses pointed towards the sky. My peripheral vision picked up a huge swirl in front of my kayak and when I focused in I saw the distinctive white markings on the lower back half of the shark diving down right under the buoy heading over to seal beach ( think that's what it's called?). I looked around to see if anyone else saw it. No one around me. Wow, I couldn't believe what I just saw... I sat and looked over to where it was heading and nothing happened. When I got home I looked up great whites to to see if the markings were the same. They were identical. Man I couldn't believe it. Middle of summer and a great white cruising through La Jolla...by the way I didn't mention the size. Let's just say based on the back half that I saw which was at least 8' and a side view of 2' or so - who knows it had to be huge. So now when I hear about sightings I think of this experience I had and say to myself "yep their around"...

I'm wondering...if you didn't see head or tail, how do you know it wasn't a hammerhead. They are still around from what I've read of recent posts. Just saying.
