If one were expecting to encounter them, that's not a bad idea. During my SoCal years, some of the skippers carried low-caliber rifles to shoot near the seals to ward them off. Others used seal bombs (basically a waterproof fuse cherry bomb) to scare the seals off.

San Diego Bay
Had one going nuts on me yesterday by Zuniga, It was a smaller one, but was jumping in and out of the water, literally smacking my Solo Skiff a few times in mid air.. circled me for a good minute or two jumping around as if to avoid a shark or something. I ended moving after it almost landed in my lap.

I had a very similar encounter the other night as my original post. Seal jumping out of the water getting closer and closer...barking at me. A couple of seconds later I see a 6-8ft shark slowly swimming by. I wasn't able to make out what kinda shark but the seal bailed out pretty quick after that.
