Great Whites dont like plastic... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

GW don't like the taste of plastic.

If a GW takes a bite of your kayak, relax take a picure and you will have a great story to tell on your next campfire.

If a GW bumps hard enough to push the bow up out of the water, it has me wondering about going out.

If this keeps the weekend warriors away Im all for it.....thank you shark week.

Agree with Driftwood...once they taste plastic, their curiosity is over...

They try to nibble on your yak, one good whack on the nose sends any big dog fleeing...esp with a tapered, flexible object such as a rod tip.

Just don't expect to get your lure back...

that is the 3rd white shark attach (curious?) i have read about this week! the other guy was doing a trek to all of the oil rigs in his protest for the gulf oil spill and was attacked after leaving the last of the oil rigs on his trip.

more whites in the water.... or more yakkers on the water.... maybe we will see a decline in the seal population!!!! one can only hope!!!
