Keep your feet in the boat, stay as calm as you can, and as Dorado50 stated, if the shark is going to attack, there isn't much you can do.

Don't really know whta I would do. Probably be freaked out and intrigued at the same time. And hopefully I would grab my knife and be prepared if he wanted to scuffle with me.

I'll be scrambling to get my GoPro in action and in the water! As a dive master on multi day trips I've seen my share of sharks, but never had a cool camera like I have now. If you see a shark swimming around take advantage and get a good look - it's just being curious also.

The shark you don't see is the one you have to worry about! Thats how they hunt...

kinda like a frog when he goes into hibernation . like you said if you panic , the shark can sense that .

or you can pull the mirage drive from bay , and crap right then .

GWS are gentle when they have a full stomach....if hungry they are the opposite...Keep your blood slick to a minimum - I think a 6' bang stick is good insurance - if somebody has found a good one pm me - they use them in florida for gators...otherwise sit still and pray....it worked for Gabe...I do not think you can paddle or peddle fast enough

Being brand new to Kayaking, I have wondered about this a lot; I even purchased a muted color boat instead of yum yum yellow. I also intended to keep a 6' pole spear onboard in hopes of deterring any creature that was too nosey,,, that is, if I saw him first. Does anyone else carry a pole spear or bangstick while kayak fishing?

I take the attitude of a sea lion. It's the ones I see that I feel good about. They tend to attack from the depths. It's like "You never hear the shot that kills you". If you read the first had reports of shark attacks, you never hear that they saw the shark hanging around the area and suddenly they were attacked. It's always a surprise.
