Orcas - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Maxfli123 · 12-07-2014, 04:30 PM

Thank you all for the replies...I guess I'm back to seeing sharks as the biggest worry. I think a pod of orcas cruising by would be awesome but when you are solo it makes it a little unnerving. My dad who was an avid fisherman back in his day recalled false killer whales trying to bump his boat around when they ventured south so that got me thinking if they can easily push a boa r around....hate to see what thy can do to a yak. I hate to say this but I'll keep fishing regardless of what threats are out there, fishing is my therapy and keeps me sane...well I just got a go pro, maybe I'll get some nice footage riding on the nose of an orca, thanks Cbad mike for the idea

I Remember my fish finder going all whacky and thinking it was on the fritz. Thirty seconds later a whale surfaced close enough to my yak that when he took a breath I got the whale sneeze on me.

What should you do if you encounter orcas while on your kayak? Seriously? Be thankful that you got to see some thing that so few get to see. Let your respect for the ocean and her inhabitants grow. Feel humble, incredibly lucky, and amazed that you could see one of earth's greatest predators so close to your home. And maybe get the go pro going.

North west natives have been around ocras for over a thousand years and their legends, myths, and real world experience don't record attacks on humans.
