That right there is why, for kayakers, great whites are less of a concern compared to boat traffic.

Hmmmm...let me put the boat to full throttle and go take a nap....my legs are tired.

Plenty of kayakers have 0 common sense on the water paddling their little plastic boards through high traffic areas. Hull Gutt in Boston is a good example.

Kayakers are all over Narr Bay also. Some have flags, some don't. I always keep a sharp eye for them especially around Conimicut Light where they seem to congregate.

No boat, back in the suds.

That wasn't quite my point but fair enough.

Considering this thread its probably fair to note....both boaters and kayaker can be accused of being foolish....and have 0 common sense.

I have not kayak fished since I have moved back to the East coast.
Out in CA, I often had party boats park right up next to me. Never
failed to amaze me. Miles of ocean everything is quiet and the guy
comes spewing diesel exhaust, sees me, pulls up, and then takes 15
minutes setting anchor on the reef churning up all the water and
making it like a big mud slick. Hahahhaaha.

I dont know how many times boat fisherman come up on my location
as a surfcaster. One time a guy persisted in getting closer and
closer. He was within a 3/4 cast. I sent a few casts to illustrate what
my range was. He didn't care. I just dropped my rod and sat back
and watched as the bigshot hung is boat up on the reef in front of me.

Not everyone has common sense, its not the activity, its the operator.
