First WHITEY...
Conditions were stellar this morning, but nothing came of it. Paddling in at 9am in the reserve (375 ft of water) I noticed a ripple moving along about 100 feet away to my left. No fin protruding but the ripple was clearly moving along. It suddenly turned and started coming at me, at about 60 feet the ripple sank out. About 2 seconds later an ~12 ft grey topped, white sided, pointed head, large gills and dorsal swam right by the back of my kayak at about 10 mph about 5 feet under the surface. I got a great look at it perfectly down glare, and the water is ~15 vis. Got the juices flowing for sure. Second trip in a row that I haven't seen a seal or sea lion all morning. BTW: It's not April 1st.

Who wants to swim from the cove to the buoy and back now? With all the little to mid size makos around and this big brother, feet up.

Amazing, damn lucky you had that kelp/tree camouflage yak so it couldn't see you.

Pat;
that white just knew your too much of a bad ass to mess with. I watched a shark tourney on cable. Guys fishing Mako in Socal chummed up a 15ft GWS. This shark was so big it scared off a big mako then it started bouncing off the sporty. AC |

Is your yak gray on the bottom? Maybe it thought you were a potential mate? :twisted:

With all the little seal mcnuggets that have been around I guess it was only a matter of time till mr. smiley showed up. Might want to give the newspaper a call. Maybe if we get some press out about how the seals are attracting the sharks they will finally kick the little bastards out of the children's pool.
Shame you were in the reserve. How cool would it be to see that thing boil on an iron? 8) Thanks for making my morning paddles out in the dark a little bit more exciting. :shock:

AWESOME!!!!!!! Wow Pat, that must've been a thrill. I can't imagine how exciting that must've been. I don't think I'd want to see one any bigger than that, though!

I saw you paddling on your way in. I must have been in the shark free zone. I had a teenage sealion follow my iron up to the rod tip and proceed to harass me for a few minutes. At least he left my deep bait alone.
I saw a few people swimming the short route near your shark sighting spot around 10:00. That would something to see through your googles. Beautiful day, but no fish. |

Yah, don't think I would cast to that...it could have been my dog, after fattening up on some holiday sea lion meals...
Ya know, I always wanted to hand feed a Mako....scratching that off my list of things to do one day...
