I have never heard of an attack on a kayak that was fishing within spitting distance of another kayak. Stay close to your bros. Best wishes to you Mel on your path to emotional recovery and conradulations on being alive.

I was in that exact spot on Monday fishing -- a few rockfish but what struck me was how many dolphin (I probably saw 20-25), sea lions, seals, and otters I saw.  I guess the landlord is drawn to bait balls, just like other big fish.

I need to get a giant rotomolded swimbait, apparently.

Glad you are ok Mel. I am waiting for the day that I pull up a hitch hiker great white on a ling! I think a bang stick is a good idea in that area.

Mel, glad you're OK, and also glad you had a couple of buds with you. I'm going to rethink going out alone.

Scary stuff.  I was just fishing that same area last week.  Glad Mel is ok.  I'm going to star using the buddy system a lot more.

OK guys let's not get too carried away with speculation and questions. Mel's fine. Give him a bit to post up. After he posts Chad/Fishadow and I will post up with what we saw.
