damn it!

Every time I think of venturing out to open water I see something like this!

Scarry! Stuff!


How clear was the water?


Do you think it would of been a different story, if one was out there by themselves?

December is supposedly a lower risk time. Great white experts I've interviewed say encounters are most likely in the warmer months - likely coinciding with seal / sea lion pupping season.

Leffingwell now has the distinction of having both the earliest and the latest great white on kayak angler strikes, one in May 2012 and this one in December.

It is also the only other recurring location other than Bean Hollow.

Ryan, is the elephant seal rookery at San Simeon occupied year-round?

yep, I have not seen it empty in recent years, and expanding at that and heading south and starting to occupy the beach at San Simeon Pier in good numbers.

In the last two months they have deployed trackers off Piedras, and already starting marking them.

Surprised that LJ has not had an attack on a yak in recent years with all the dang seals on the beach.

^Harbor seals are snack size. Elephant seals are much closer in size to a kayak. I'm sticking with that.

The majority of our whites arent mature enough to be feeding on mamals. They typically start eating andre and flipper when they are 10ft+
