Agree with Driftwood...once they taste plastic, their curiosity is over...

They try to nibble on your yak, one good whack on the nose sends any big dog fleeing...esp with a tapered, flexible object such as a rod tip.

Just don't expect to get your lure back...

that is the 3rd white shark attach (curious?) i have read about this week! the other guy was doing a trek to all of the oil rigs in his protest for the gulf oil spill and was attacked after leaving the last of the oil rigs on his trip.

more whites in the water.... or more yakkers on the water.... maybe we will see a decline in the seal population!!!! one can only hope!!!

Once the Great White starts trying to tip people out of yaks to eat them we have a pretty big problem.

All it will take is for one of them to learn the trick.

Didn't hear about the Bay area kayaker. Smart to wait it out with his kayak upside down, before trying to flip it back over.
Saw the full write about the Gaviota State beach white. I wouldn't say relax, and just take pictures though. The teeth marks top and bottom will cost the man some $$$, but at it least it didn't cost him his life. Might have cost him his right foot on other sit-on-top types. His had a hard cover on top, just for the feet, which is where the white hit.
I definitely would be using the paddle in hand to slice for the nose hit.

I'm not sure sharks have the capability to "learn", but just to be safe it's probably a good idea to stay out of the water until the sightings stop...I hear the bay is nice this time of year.
