Shark-proof kayak paint job

All the discussions of what colors attract sharks got me to thinkin'...

My thought was that it's probably best to blend in with the natural objects found in the ocean -- and that's hard in a kayak!

So I decided to disguise the kayak by spray-painting the bottom in a confusing pattern. 

Now I look like I belong on the ocean and those clever sharks will never suspect that I'm a human!

Bigred, I am usually very open to who I fish with on the ocean, but after seeing your custom paint job I think I am marking you off my list of people to fish with. Or maybe, I should go to with you and watch from a distance. I hear the bite is on at salmon creek.

skyboy, he will make an excellent "weak buffalo".
the perfect kayak fishing partner really. 

joel, when we hitting davenport?

I took a perch recon trip to Davenport last Sunday and the swell was "Hawaii 5-0".....let's just say it was a day for surfers ONLY. I didn't even try casting out for perch. I'd definitely like to try for Halibut again sometime. I'm convinced that Davenport is "Halibut Central". I've witnessed more halibut caught at Davenport then any other spot in Norcal. Anyone know what time of year when the Halibut come in for shallow water feeding?

They come into the bay in late april, early may, and hit the ocean flats a few weeks to a month later.   Crappy showing the last few years, got a bumper season due us I think.

I think it coincides with the big sharks.  aka, the "other" halibut.

that's pretty much what scallen is saying.

sept/oct fall == big halibut north of santa cruz == big sharks north of santa cruz.

 

santa cruz and monterey sand city early summer, davenport late summer/fall.

I kind of think the season was shifted later this year. I got one early august and
one mid november. first one in santa cruz, 28", second one in full sharky territory
35".., pretty much quivering with fear until I hooked into a big fish then forgot
all about ole noah.
