Wow, awesome experience for you and your daughter. How cool that the little one didn't panic! Thanks for the report.
From all the kayak/GWS encounter stories I've read, it seems like it all goes without troubles as you see them first. Seems like if they are in "hunt exploration" mode, they don't announce their presence. You are incredibly lucky, very few people get to see GWS at LJ, even the guys that spend a ton of time OTW. If it happened recently, it would probably be good idea to notify lifeguards, so they're aware. Local GWS sightings always generate a buzz - last time in February someone saw 5 ft great white, and it was all over the news.

Can someone remind me what is the emergency channel on those handheld Cobra radios? I think it's 19, but I'm not sure. Thanks.
Not GWS related (I hope), I would just like to know. Aaron

Consider a proper radio
Quote:
Please consider properly equipping with a JIS7 or better hand held MARINE radio. They are about $100 at West Marine, and will be received by the CG. Your Ch. 19 "emergency band" on your CB may well be heard by no one, and most likely won't work when you need it because it got wet. Kayakers spend hundreds on a single rod/reel combo.... think about spending a few bucks on your safety... then you will probably never need it. Thanks for allowing me the rant BTW, saw an 18ft. estimate GW in Feb 2004 North of the pier (60ft depth) after two previous confirmed sightings a week earlier.

 I'll say one thing: You put a 38 slug through the dorsal of a white that's chewwing on the end of your kayak, you're not going to really injure it, but it will leave you alone.

Good stuff guys. Now you are entering my realm of options. I just don't want to have to clean it after going in the drink on the return. I wonder how well the scandium mini S&W's would hold up? If not, I'll track down the mariner model Mossburg 500 and load some good loads, mount a rack next to the gaff...
