Orcas - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

With orcas now cruzing through my turf(spotted last month in oceanside) just want to know what you guys think about an encounter with a pod of them on the yak...I would be definitely need a new pair of shorts if I ran into them, but my real question is what should you do if you happened to encounter them while pedaling/paddling out to the Zone. My first thought was just play it cool and see what happens keeping my vhf close by to call for help if needed or should call for help right away? Never experienced an orca pod...hoping someone can chime in with first hand experience or knowledge of orca that could lend some good advice. I think sharks are now the least of my worry...
