here we go again!

It's been tested here and works 100% effectively.

Yearly tests are ongoing and generally conducted between BH and PP June thru Sept.  So far, so good!

...and sharktober, don't forget about sharktober!

My own personal method of muttering "holy sh*t" over and over while drifting into shallow water has also proved effective (although I've only used it once)

You guys crack me up!!!!  Needed a laugh this morning.

Slammer, use the search functin and check out previous (numerous) posts.

Keep coming back!

The best way to avoid sharks is to NOT fish near or with Sean.....or in a red yak!

How often do you fellas fish the red triangle?

I used to ab dive there...  Went diving solo at Ano Nuevo back in the early 90's, but it did feel a little spooky.

As for Red Triangle, we have our share of whitey's up this way along the Humboldt Coast.

I'm not opposed to Shark Shields, but I'm leary of relying on a piece of equipment that could fail due to use, abuse, maintenance, batteries, or even the possibility that it may not always work.  I'm pretty content with my X-Factor and a couple dozen pool noodles along with my other safety gear.

Let's just hope that when I do finally have an encounter that I get it on video and there's no bloodshed.   

I have made no secret of my feelings...  I would not change my fishing habits if I didn't own a SS, and doubt it would deter all sharks all the time...

However, let's say when I fish a place on a weekly basis, weather permitting, June-Oct, where there have been numerous confirmed sightings and one confirmed attack on a yak...  I'll take all the insurance I can get, and wouldn't knock anyone's method of feeling better about the situation, be it prayer, paint schemes, voodoo rituals, denial, electronic devices or sheer balls.

Let's just hope that when I do finally have an encounter that I get it on video and there's no bloodshed.

That's all any of us can hope for, Brother!!!
