With enough of us saying the same thing the media "should" loose interest pretty quickly

Then we can go on our merry way and continue to enjoy ourselves without any further beach closures

No need to lie. Just say you decline to share and have a nice day. If they insist then open the hatch and show em your trouser trout.

I said we've seen a lot of other sharks that are a lot more dangerous than a hammer heads. She sounds interested and ask me if I want to chat about it. I said no, she sounds surprised and says, No. I said not really, I think it's been written about too much already, and people just misinterpret it. She looks puzzled and says good bye and walks away. I wonder what they would think, if we started talking about the GW's and Makos we have seen or hooked up, really close to the buoys the swimmers like to swim to on their way to the pier or shores everyday. I think the swimmers are the ones that are nuts, swimming in their area and close to so many seals. I think the last thing we need is the public to think the kayak fishermen are the ones responsible for the shark when they have been in the area all along. I mean it's their back yard and we are all just passing through. Enjoy the beauty of seeing then and leave them alone.

Mark, that's Excellent, I would of said same thing. I look forward to my first interview. Heres a news flash..SHARKS LIVE IN THE OCEAN..drops mic, exit stage left..

Excactly Ryan. I guess it's the latest story, so they run with it. The public has no clue what's out there, or what is swimming under them, while they are getting their exercise. They don't get it, that the sharks are generally not interested in them. They are not as lazy as those f***n seals, but might be attracted to the area because of the numbers of seals. Who knew sharks lived in the ocean?

My interview would go something like "yeah, since all the sea lions have taken over at Children's pool they have been attracting all kinds of predators that are just waiting to snack on a tourist. I mean, local businesses are making a ton of money knowingly sending people out into waters with a huge population of sharks that stick around because of the abundance of protected sea lions. You would think that local government would do something to diminish the presence of their natural forage, or maybe caving to activists is easier than looking out for the safety of tourists and the local businesses that the revenue they bring support"

Then I'd see if they actually air it, or spin it to say additional protection is needed for those poor cute sea-puppies that have to go into the dangerous water.

"What eats sea lions? Great white, hammerhead and blue sharks, as well as orcas, occasionally hunt sea lions." See, https://www.dolphins.org/kids_sea_lion_facts

Can't figure out how to embed this youtube video but this news anchor's face is PRICELESS after he watches the video...

GWS are the real deal. That one is huge. If you run into that... call the media.

I hooked that damn hammerhead 3 times yesterday and the 3rd time he wrapped the braid around mirage drive and sliced it. Sharks are getting to be as bad as the seals!
Hear is a little video of the culprit...

That totally sucks!!

Yesterday I was dragging bait across the canyon and got bite, as soon as I tried to set the hook the line went limp.........wtf? I start to reel hoping that the fish swam towards me but the whole time I had no pressure on the line. As soon as I pulled my line out the I noticed it was completely fraid, not wanting to know what it was I kept going.

Saturday AM 9/5, I went with my family to the cove so the kids could play. I wish I had my phone (camera) as one of the sea lions laying out had a perfect series of gashes in a semi-circle on its back. Looked to be about a 12 inch bite, so perhaps a juvenile (?).
