I knew that extremely large Great Whites were encountered around areas like the Farallon Islands – close to San Francisco - where they predate on immature Elephant Seals and also central regions of California where the main prey species are Seals. It is believed though that females migrate to Southern Californian waters - near San Diego - to pup and this Autumn/Winter there’re a number of reports of juveniles being encountered by surfers and paddle-boarders and recently – this one - http://internationalfishingnew…nternational+Fishing+News) – by a shore-based angler. Um ... it was ONLY a 10’ (3 metre) specimen!
