Hell with that. We often see threads asking about the best woods gun... what’s the best for pesky sharks??? “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” | |||

A bang stick (simply a stick with a 12 gauge shotgun shell on the end) with 00 Buck does a pretty good job on them. It's a small metal device that holds and fires a 12 gauge shell when you bang it hard against an object, and you usually mount it on a wood dowel 1-1.5" diameter, that's 6-10' long. A lot of sportfish used to carry them. | |||

Hammerhead. They're fond of yellow and tasty kayakers..... "And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day" | |||

I was thinking depth charges, but sharks dart around too much.  “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” | |||

With all that jostling around I’d be concerned with dumping myself into the drink. Wonder if sharks are attracted to fresh human excrement? Foster's, Australian for Bud | |||

Hope he carries a 9MM and some FMJ after that. I would have shot that pesky little booger. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

There are other reasons for not kayak fishing in the open ocean. During my time in Alaska, there was a story about a guy salmon fishing in the Gulf of Alaska and he hooked a salmon shark (look a lot like bull sharks) and he was towed 20 miles out to sea by the shark. Not sure why the fisher didn't cut the line, but being towed 20 miles into the frigid ocean can be deadly.

My youngest grandson spent a summer working as deckhand on a commercial fishing boat somewhere off the south Florida coast. They ran miles of line, floats, etc, and then went back to the other end and started checking to see what had hooked up. They got a lot of sharks. If it was not already dead, they shot it in the head with a 12 ga. For that guy on the kayak, he should have had at least a spear. Stab the sucker with that and it would have departed.

I know nothing about kayaking at all but Fuck. That. I'd have a speargun,bang stick, and especially stylophiles grenade. Correction Grenade's within reach.

Okay. I can understand hitting he shark but hitting him with the paddle ( I know it is the only thing he had, poor planning on his part) which is the one thing of two things (the other is the kayak) he will absolutely need to get back to shore. For me: marine 12 gauge:  45-70  No hope of escaping:Fire off the 10mm:  | |||
