Do kayak anglers need to worry about white shark attacks?

I'm just wondering.

If so, is there anything you do to minimize the risk?

Tons of info on the site about this topic, see the thread above and also punch in GWS in the search bar.

Don't be scared.  "Sharks are like dogs, they only bite when you touch their private parts".

UMMMMM YES.  Dude where you been?

Need?  No.

I know not "need worry".

....my advice, paddle out with a buddy....if you see a shark, tip your buddy over with your paddle and then get your camera ready

If your really worried about sharks attacks, then I'm sorry to day that your looking into the wrong sport.

This is why we say "Welcome to the Madness"

* But seriously speaking, you just need accept the risk and know that you are no longer on top of the food chain once you paddle out into the big blue.

Not if they're fishing in fresh water. 

Think of it this way: the odds of encountering a white shark are very low, and chicks dig scars!

but most chicks also dig limbs. So if your scar means you are missing one or more. then you loose. to reduce risk don't fish with sean/piscean

How bout freediving from a yak?
I want to practice diving, and was wondering if I should avoid BH or that area this time of the year to practice diving...
the next closest place to practice in the ocean for me would be HMB or SW south.

  You couldn't pay me to freedive at Da Bean this time of the year. (probably any time of the year, ftm)

You only need to worry about paddling away from the guy hanging his bloody stringer over the side.  C'mon dude!  What kind of question is this?     (I'm just sayin'...)

worry? no.

be aware? yes.

act stupid? no.
