As reported on numerous websites and the news stations, a women was attacked by a GWS while she was kayaking in West Cove. Eyewitnesses put it as larger than her kayak.

The last thing we need is a juvenile eating up all the big ghosts and huge Yellowtail in West Cove.

So was she injured or killed ?

Is West Cove a popular yak fishing spot for yakkers ? oh and one more question,,Are shark shields common place over there or nobody bothers about them ?

Start the debate. Blue kayaks must attract sharks. So much for the red Hobie theory.

I don't know if anybody uses the Shark Shield here in SoCal. There are so few attacks in this area it probably isn't worth the investment. The guys farther up the coast might have a reason to use them
