DP 03-02

I headed south along the beach this time, was a very nice day on the water, even got a little warm. Swell started building later in the day pushing me out a little to 18-20' depth.

Lots of sharks, various kinds, only got two to the boat, a small soupfin and a small, relatively speaking, white, about 6'. That guy saw the kayak,
nonchanlantly turned around and swam away as if I wasn't there. Thankfully the line broke.

I do not have any pictures and it didn't stick around, so it may be BS, or it may not. But I do know the features of local sharks, and this guy was heavy for a 6 footer, slate grey on top, thick, and pure white on the bottom, and a very thick diameter on the tail. And it fought much different than other sharks, not fast on the run, but heavy and powerful.

That guy actually gave me pause, I lost my concentration for the rest of the day. It didn't scare me necessarily, but whoa, never thought I'd hook into one. I don't care if you beleive me or not.

Wonder what they taste like...

Well thats interesting. I was drifting in the shallows a bit south of Doheny that day as well. I believe you, my obsessive watching of discovery channel tells me that the "small" ones hang around here in Southern California.

Hope I don't hook up on one, regardless of size haha. Thanks for the report.

i believe it! i think it would be pretty cool to see one, but at the same time it wouldn't be.

That would be a pretty cool experience just seeing one let alone hooking one. Was that in the 18-20 foot zone there off the beach?

Sure was. Another thing that struck me is that it didn't even seem to care that it was hooked. Like it knew nothing would mess with it.
