Impressive…..

Hmmm, that shark lure is about the same color and shape as my kayak....

my Friend Matt says the guys he surfs with at Asilomar saw one the same weekend Fsihmaster1 and his crew watched one eat a sea lion

The Molas are thick now again @ pt pinos this weekend -- Sea Lions - really big and active playing with them all over the place..kills and birds and thrashing all day in all directions sat-sun...keeps you watching when these giant Sea lions-the big pappa ones- appear from nowhere and start churning and thrashing right next to you---molas floating all over the place alive with no fins or eye balls---big molas jumping and swimming down six feet all silver and flashy under my kayak...knarly day....GWS must pay attention when these big bulls are concentrated and so active in 150 f.o.w

He probably got more attention than he thought he would.  I would try to sell my board also but not sure that makes him a liar.  The biologist saw sharks feeding in same loc so it could still be true.  I wonder how this will play out. 

oh great they even have a name for it

"Galeophobia" – the excessive and persistent fear of sharks – is one of the most widespread of all phobias.

What are the odds that you'll even see or come into contact with a GWS in the months that they seem to be in our area?  Given that, what are the odds that a GW will attack a kayak?

Is there anything to do to mitigate a potential attack?  Reflective tape or something like that?

The jury is out still on the value of trying to use a  'shark shield'  in a kayak ,but the ncka search function should have some returns on that product/ subject folks on here have chatted about it a lot....Fishhunter is right about hot spots    from what I've read,but really anywhere on the coast in any month they are around...not every sq foot...not every day...but their here  ..also ocean kayaking alone is maybe not the best idea..some attacks on kayaks ,happened when there were other kayaks to come help the poor guy out of the water etc..
