I found a good article with some solutions. http://modernkayakfishing.com/articl...-n-with-sharks
FYI, I was fishing LJ on monday and tuesday. On monday evening on my way in near the yellow buoy, I saw a dead seal floating in the water. It was upside down with fins out. I saw no signs of sharks circling the dead seal. Perhaps this dead seal brought this great white to the area. |
Or maybe what killed it was still lurking around. There is so much speculation. Over the last 30 years I have surfed, bodyboarded, fished, and now Kayaked our ocean areas here in San Diego and have seen some very interesting and humbling creatures while doing all of them. We have to remember we are going into their world and realize that sometimes they may be a little curious to what we are. Still that does not comfort us, but with all the seals being protected now we are now paddling or peddling into their dinning rooms. I pray that none of us becomes their snack. Keep it safe as much as you can.
