Lifeguard Report about "no blood" or scent near beach.....

[seaquinn]

I'm not real sure how they check this, but just listening right now, Sat AM, Sept 5th, on the Let's Talk Hookup Radio Show, that due to so many Hammerheads nearby at LJ, the lifeguards report that all of us kayakers at La Jolla, can not be coming into the boat launch with any blood scent on our boats.

Something like that.

The message was to clean our fish out at sea, and truly rinse any blood off far away from the beach. Apparently there are lots of hammerheads and when one of us cleans our fish, they may follow the kayak for a long ways, and they don't want us bringing those hammerheads into the swimming area.

I know it sounds crazy, and as soon as the water cools, this will all change, but they said they may CLOSE THE LAUNCH AREA TO KAYAKS if we don't do this.

Hammerheads typically feed on small fish, but if aroused by scent, then lots of splashing kids, etc... well, you get the idea.

The message was for us to police ourselves so that they don't have to.
