Wrist rocket works wonders. Just be careful of what you launch.
The problem with this method is that it does not work when you
are hooked up. Thus the buddy system.

bring out the bean shooters no evidence left behind since you could use these materials for safety and emergency purpose.

I used to surf The north jetty of Humboldt bay and now and then a couple of big male sea lions would get aggressive. Charging at you, popping up right next to you and roaring in your face, chasing guys out of the water. A buddy had one bite his leg and yank him right off his board. And this was with out food involved. I hope we don't start seeing shit like that down here.
I've read the regs concerning when and with what you can drive, or attempt to drive, sea lions away from your fishing area. I don't recall the regs saying any thing about defending your self from sea lions. Mike
