Shark story out of cambria

HOPE THE PIC comes out. Story copied from fish reports port san luis

One less sea lion

Today a couple of my dive buddies Jim & Jake went diving in Cambria in the same area we always dive. Jim took one of his sons and a friend of his sons. Those two stayed in the boat and fished while Jim and Jake went diving. After there second tank and limits of rock fish they headed toward the beach it was approx. 10:15am. Jim was driving and obviously watching where he was going when he saw a shark plunge out of the water and attacking a sea lion and tore it in two. He said it was like something he would see on National Geographic channel. They were heading forward and as they went past the 10+ foot of blood puddled in the water they circled it and took a picture of the black and white sea lion then the shark came up next to there zodiac and was every bit of the 13 feet that the boat is. They sped off and as they did so did the shark along with them. They said that they weren't sure if the shark was confused and thought they were more food but it was weird that the shark appeared to be gaining on them for a couple moments before losing site of it again. I would not have believed it as easily as I do after seeing this picture.

I spoke with Harold Davis on Monday and he told me that last weekend one of his friends lost a fish to a white shark. Ironically it was in the same general area.

I know Paul D has experience a similar situation down in the Coke plant area south of Avila.

Glad my friends made it home safe.
