@ATE23 LOL

Yeah i went once, but like after 5 mins i stepped on a sting ray :( this was 2005

[ReliableSunPower]

That's my only fear in life. How bad does that hurt? I assume it stung you.

Awesome! Nice video. I was there once in june again two weekends ago and going again this weekend. It's very exhilarating.

When is the best time to go swim with these sharks in La Jolla?

[LimeyInSD]

The breeding season where most of them are out is late July/ August, but I saw a bunch of them kayaking over the weekend, too.

[LayzeeNpRoUd]

can you go fishing there?

[LimeyInSD]

It's part of the La Jolla Marine preserve, so I don't think fishing is allowed. Certainly not for the sharks.

[ScubaDubaDive]

The intire preserve is protected, fishing/hunting is not allowed. You can fish and hunt just to left of the cove; to the right of the peir, and 1 mile off shore... allowing for 1 sq. mile of protected waters.

@LayzeeNpRoUd For serious dude? I'm all for surf fishing but...breaking up shark sexy time? Not cool...

[LimeyInSD]

Nah, they're totally harmless - they're bottom feeders.
