Ah the shark topic. I had an encounter with small sharks that Local fisherman call dog fish. I was in kayak fishing mode and paddled over to a feeding ball (a tightly bunched group of bait fish being dive bomb by a hovering cloud of Sea gullies). I expected to find salmon but the ball of bait fish was surrounded by a frenzied school of small sharks. As I drifted in the bottom the kayak was repeatedly hit by the darting sharks. Although I was not in danger I found this unpleasant. The fiberglass hull seemed vary thin. I paddled off to fish somewhere else keeping my hands clear of the water. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Oct 20 1998 - 07:45:17 PDT
