Every now and then someone has their rock eaten at the bay bridge by one too. It's rare, just another danger to remember if you are out there alone at night.

    Cownose rays like to slash on the surface and when you are by yourself they all seem like sharks. I know on several occasions those things have spooked me.
    I thought you were serious because I heard about the caught bull shark at Cornfield. According to an article in a kayak magazine, bull sharks are one of the three most aggressive sharks (the other two are Great White and Tiger). Bull threats are there day or night. Hey, not to scare anyone.

      I would not worry about the bull's in the summer. They are to busy eating all the pesky cow nose rays to think about biting my feet while I hang them off the side of the Kayak. At least that’s what I tell my self when im out there.

        They go by so many different names, it isn't funny...and they are aggressive known unprovoked man-eaters world-wide-

          I guess I was saying I was joking about the threat... but the more I think about it the more I'd say not to go alone. It's more fun with company anyway.
          Used to fish more.

            planning to play it safer and launch around 3 or 4 sat am right before sun light and fish the pier friday. If I wanted to troll where and at how many feet should I be trolling do you think?
            The best time spent is time that doesn't feel like it was spent at all. When it's worth it you'll give everything to do it all over again no matter what the cost.

              This is offtopic but along the same vein...

              I Fished Little Bridge in OBX last year in October from my yack...

              I launched at 4 am well before day break and out in the channel i had about a dozen dolphins breach right next to my yack... I about crapped myself..

              Never know what might be swinning around you in salt water..

                Reconizing A Kayak at Night, From A Moving Powerboat

                Recognizing A Kayak at Night, From A Moving Powerboat is a pretty challenging task for any boater and as a powerboater of many years, distance and the intensity of the light plays a huge role in being reconized.

                I personally think a strobe type of light, perhaps combined with an unusual colored light should be what is needed . And I'd display that light(s) at least four, preferrably six feet high. Of course powerboaters at night are not looking for yaks. I think a kayaks best nightime defense to not getting rundown is to stay to less traveling routes and very swallow water.
