Life or death in Asuncion - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Holey cow that must have been insane! Sounds like he may think twice before trying to board your kayak next time.

Man, glad you're safe Rossman. I hate Sea Lions! I'm always afraid I'll have a situation like yours.

Glad to hear you're all right. Those dogs suck in LJ but getting bitten or hurt by one at an end of the road place like Asuncion could be life threatening. When you see how hard the big males thrash each other on their breeding beaches I doubt a man seated in kayak could swing a paddle hard enough to do any harm. Maybe Bring more than a paddle next time. Mike

Hmmm...this smells fishy.
Sea Lion attacks kayaker? 4 Yellows under 10lbs?
Translation: It's beautiful here. I caught 4 Yellows - all over 40lbs.

Glad to see you made it out in one piece. Sea Lions scare me more than sharks or whales, especially at night. I had a Sea Lion almost jump in to my lap one time while it tried to bite the bait cage in my hoopnet.

Aren't fireworks legal down there.
Maybe an M80 would do the trick.
