Albion 5/31 Attack of the seal!!! 6/1 limit in 2hrs...

seal was tryna rape you mike! glad u made it out without being violated!

It seems the seals are getting way too friendly with kayakers. Is it leagal to shot
them with sling shot? I know I would if I had it with me. Like the saying goes shot now ask questions later.

out here we use paintball guns , heard slingshots are ok...might be a new thing to carry for us yakkers

Scary stuff having to deal with a crazy furbag. Glad you made it out safe and to go back out to get your limits. WTG!!

Sling shots legal- I bring one .

This sounds very similar to my experience at GS4

It must be some kind of Animal Conspiracy

Watch your backs - there coming for us

Glad you are O.K. and handled it like a pro,
Eric

Dude Your the one that stayed High and Dry!!!  was that a hobbie u were on...ummmm  better balance on a hobbie???... SOON!!!

Back @ U for handling it like a pro...It was really scketchy...and I would of shot it if I had a gun...so better use a wrist rocket instead and be on the legal side of the LAW

i think in the monterey and carmel area people would call it harassment the moment they see you defend yourself against the seal. better to just scream like a little girl and swim away as fast as you could like i did. that seemed to get the seal off of me!

Now if that was the case I would of SCREAMED like a little GIRL!!! for sure!!!

It seems we may have to go on the water with a side arm. A sling shot that is.
I hope I don't get any of those ricochet.

I carry a flare gun. Only for emergencies.

Hummm... are paddles considered part of this list: "No Aggressive Tactile Methods (e.g., striking animals with bats, hammers etc., impact with vehicles or boats )"

Looks like a 'cattle prod' is the way to go!

if it gets close enough please belive im throwin haymakers

hmmmmm.... says broomsticks , blunt poles... paddles should be ok as long as you dont slash??

definitely slingshots, paintball guns w/ rubber balls, use a wrist rocket and tennis balls maybe?

my .41 mag lever action isnt marine coated

gosh you guys have it rougher there than we do up here......not only do ya haveta fight the idjit eco freaks but now the critters as well.....

Hmm this list says "chemical irritants (e.g., non-toxic pepper spray, mace) used for animal control (there are many municipal and state ordinances controlling the use and possession of these irritants)" are OK.  I'll move the bear spray from the backpacking box to the kayak box.  Has anyone had issues inside the bay or is it all off shore?
