Great White at La Jolla - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

todd one · 10-16-2013, 10:31 PM

Just a heads up. There was a great White sighting at La Jolla today. I just saw the video on Fox 5. It was a mile of Wind and Sea. Be safe out there, how ever that's done.

Why, conditions are awesome and seeing a great white would be a cool bonus.

Trust me, there are plenty of them out there. We have a perfect feeding ground for them. I recommend watching Shark week when it's out, I learned a lot of really cool things about Great Whites. I don't recommend leaving bleeding fish hanging over your kayak but I say live without fear.

More worried about the ones I DON'T see

Anyone ever use, or even carry a bang stick.

yep, cruised by one just as long as the X factor one day. was cool till it went too deep to see.

there's a few up at San O too. the resident, Sparky, is seen quite frequently along with a few others.

one evening out at LJ i was cruising from trap to trap and 2 seals went airborn about 60 yards in front of me, took off in different directions then another hit the surface about 30 yards away and took off in a panic. didn't see any shark but i bet something scared the shit out of them.

Not going to stop me from fishing

I saw one a little over a year ago just outside the kelp line in front of the big condo building, while fighting a yellowtail.

Most of us know, they're out there. More often than many people think.

As always though, keep safe when it comes to anything on/in the ocean. It's a big place with a lot of power everywhere.

Oh nooo, I thought those dolphins kept us safe. So anyone with any advice on what to do if a shark starts being to nosey on the kayak?

StinkyMatt · 10-18-2013, 04:45 PM

Start to paddle way from the area just a little faster than your buddy!

alanw · 10-18-2013, 05:04 PM

Deploy your seal decoys

YakDout · 10-18-2013, 05:26 PM

I guess if it's your day, not much you can do about it.

They do make pepperballs for paintball guns cops use them to disperse crowds at riots, ive trained with them in the corps.

Passengers aboard a whale-watching boat off Dana Point enjoyed a rare great white shark sighting early Thursday afternoon, about three miles offshore

Great White migration patter...very interesting.

Many shark attacks are reported in late November/Oct. Some surfers up north won't even
go in the water in the month of October.

guys, how long has this site been around? how long have kayaks been fishing off shore?

you don't need to worry. they aren't on a man hunt.

2X, You are much safer on the water than on our highways in Southern California. Enjoy the ocean!
