A kayaker had an encounter with a whitey on the central California coast. Be careful out there.

I rather take my chances with a gator over a white any day. But, never kayak where there are bull sharks.

The way I look at it. Gators all the way.
A gator, smack paddle near them- OH #!$! im out!
A great white, smack paddle near them- Oh yummy a dying seal!
Liberty , Loch Raven , and Prettyboy . Not just for water anymore.

I fish around gators and bull sharks on a weekly basis and have not had an issue with either.
Stupid manatees worry me more than anything with teeth

That would preclude almost all of the Atlantic Coast, Gulf of Mexico, and to a great extent the fresh/brackish water that runs into these two bodies of water.

RickW, that is why I live on the liberal coast in a dry valley. I only have to worry about rattlers. And the occasional drunken idiot trying to walk on water.
