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.

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.

Heck just invest in some trusty shark repellent...




Works for sharks or any other nasty critters you're likely to encounter.

I didn't see you say you had a S&W J frame in the "whats in your vest" thread!

We can't share all our secrets online

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...

Wouldn't ask, but since you mentioned, would you care to share a few pics with all of us inquiring minds?

There's been lots of makos moving in with all this life we got lately at LJ, some of them pretty big. Could it be mako you guys saw? Bigger ones are hard to tell apart from GWS, especially in the water. Not that it makes much defference, fear factor wise.
