Shark encounter off Tillamook Head

Postby OSeditor » Fri Dec 06, 2013 10:19 am

This was sent to me from someone fishing off Tillamook Head yesterday: :shock:

"I saw an unusually large white shark a few hundred yards off cascade head between Seaside and Cannon Beach 12/5/13 while kayak fishing. Was bigger than my 12' kayak by no small margin. I mean, the ones they show on shark week have nothing on this thing. It showed a definite interest in my kayak- slowly came over and drifted a few feet below and beside me- too curious for my liking. Thought I'd give a heads up- right in the Indian beach and Cove neighborhood. Not that anyone can do anything about it; just decided I'd rather say something than not. The thing is effing big. Like I'm even scared of its big huge gills big."

Cascade head and Tillamook head are quite a ways apart.
Thanks ed for correcting to Tillamook.
Sounds like a pretty incredible experience.

I wouldn't surf there anymore if I was any of you.
