There's a full on huge seal rockery there and the big sharks come in close to eat seals. When I kayak SBI I always try to keep my feet in the yak, and I usually won't swim there. I've just seen too many sharks there to feel comfortable.

So I hate to say I told you so but.......

Monster!!!

I hear he was fishing with Mako Matt who runs his boat out of Huntington Beach, so the idiots in the media are saying they caught off Huntington but the word is they were actually fishing closer to SBI.

SBI get's some BIG Makos!!!

When they said 50 off Huntington I figured they must have been in that area, seal pups galore there, no surprise. my blood red turbo fins went untouched

No doubt!! SBI is almost exactly fifty miles from Huntington, and that shark looks like it's just full of seals.

Sounds like You had a great trip. Always wanted to fish the backside from a Kayak, looks like you had a blast.
