Leopard sharks have big teeth stay away from them. and most kayakers don't target leopard sharks. Leopard shark taste like draino anyways.

Aww, come on they ain't that bad. Leopards are fun to catch and they're not too picky, live or cut bait any where near the bottom and you're all set. I usualy catch them while I'm fishing for some thing else. They put up a decent fight. The couple I have caught tight to the surf line have pulled me toward the beach and in to the surf. I haven't eaten leopard shark so I can't say if they taste line drain-o or not. Mike

Saw them in Carlsbad, at the power plant, was surfing in in only 2ft of water and saw at least 3 leopards, between 3-4 feet, looke awesome in 2ft or less of water, figured they must be eating sand crabs, that would be a fun fight, probly just let em go after that, they are beautiful.

They love a nice fat lively barred surf perch if you can catch one and re-rig.
