LJ 10/2 am DOGGED - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jscott · 10-02-2007, 04:26 PM

Last time I was out-- I had knothead really follow me around for almost 1hr! I think it was because when he stole a bait from me-- he came up and I growled at him and slapped my paddle at the water. I picked up all my lines and tried tossing irons AT HIM. One time-- he came pretty close to the yak-- underwater and I jabbed my paddle at him...I didn't reach him...but it just seemed to keep him coming. He followed me forever-- with no lines in the water...I kept paddling around and tossing irons. He would just follow behind slowly. Finally, I tied off to a bouy and dropped a piece of squid down with a 3oz sinker and figured I fish bottom until he left. He came up and snorted something loudly and left immediately. A few minutes later, since I didn't see him back-- I pulled up my squid, only to find a chunky sculpin on the end of it. It is possible that he went for the squid (or sculpin) and got stung! For sure-- that was the longest one followed me...I think I antogonized him by growling and paddle slapping-- so perhaps he became territorial. I couldn't even pass him off!

I was recently going over some past posts and found one interesting on how to handle the dogs. Since they have become a major nuisance lately for everyone I think salting a mack's belly with a habenero chile or something equally potent would be in order.

I like that idea. Perhaps 2 or more would be in order.

I may have finally found a good use for caribbean red peppers...

Not sure giving him explosive diarrhea is really the solution to the problem. He already blows bubbles at me when he's waiting underneath me for a mac, but at least they are not the stinky kind.lol

So after all of this discussion on how to discourage ol' knotthead or his friends, I still want to know if there is a viable, and humane way to discourage our little bastard of a friend, other than dynamite?...
