Bro, I think all the shark sighting in San Diego the last few years are because they won’t move the sea lions from Cove / Children’s Pool. It’s a friggin all-you-can-eat buffet for sharks. Remove the food source and the sharks will move on. IMObut sharks eat seals and we don't need hungrier sharks
'90 while living in SC area a$$ clown did boat toursI remember a time when the fishermen were dropping the fish guts that attracted the seals that attracted the sharts.
blame the fishermen!
See even when I don’t derail a thread with some fascinating and vaguely related personal anecdote, (with or without a selfie) you guys KEEP YANKING ME BACK IN.<I am glad Subway (miraculously) doesn't have selfie(s) with a sea lion(s) behind him and would have otherwise remained in the thread and posted said selfie(s)>
Pu$$y!
As an owner of both a boat and a dock they get little sympathy from me. Plus they scare my pitbulls.
I had one about that size chase me out of the water one time. He came up on the beach. The sun was going down and my boat was anchored about two hundred yards from the beach. Not a good time.
Yes. Even the little ones have a set. They break abs from the bottom to eat? GTFO.Have you seen the teeth on those fuckers?
Not sure I'd go that far but I get what you are saying.I like seeing the sea lions, but to be honest I would be more afraid of being close to an agitated male one out in the water than a juvenile great white shark just passing by.
That's full on adult sharkie territory there. Blame the elephant seals (i.e., food) for that.Not sure I'd go that far but I get what you are saying.
Elephant seals are way more of a concern.
Years ago surfing N. of town Santa Cruz we paddled out at Greyhound Rock with only 4 of us and no one else anywhere to be seen. One of the best surf days I've ever had. It was perfect conditions glassy and head high to overhead A frames. Just could not ask for a better set up on that day.
But, I was being harassed by a youngish elephant seal almost the whole time. I was not familiar with this spot or area so I asked my buds that live up there if there was any need for concern... "not unless he bites you" was all they said.
I was crapping my pants the whole time but turned out just fine. I was also scared shitless the whole time because the water was so black and the bull kelp boils kept popping up all around me I was afraid it was a white shark for sure. LOL.
Yes, I just loved it several months back when one was porpoising directly at me from a long ways away. Part of me was worried about the actual seal (also been chased out of water before) but also what was behind it? Held my ground, decided any sudden motions would only make things worse and situation happily resolved itself. Big sucker too.I like seeing the sea lions, but to be honest I would be more afraid of being close to an agitated male one out in the water than a juvenile great white shark just passing by.
my buddy got bit by one and we all laughed at him , we are assholes.Not sure I'd go that far but I get what you are saying.

Great for flounder fishing on the east coast...can't tell you the amount of times I've caught more gassing the boat up on the docks rather than in the creeks.I remember a time when the fishermen were dropping the fish guts that attracted the seals that attracted the sharts.
blame the fishermen!
