The only way I saw the shark take was when the bright orange fly disappeared. After one long strip, the shark saw and engulfed the fly. Jeff grabbed the 16-weight and placed a large orange and red Mako Bomb a foot from the shark’s nose. We both jumped to our feet and watched as the shark patrolled closer to the boat. It was broad shouldered, olive-to-blue in color, and with a deliberate and cautious approach that large sharks possess when quartering-up on prey. We sat and waited and waited for one more mako, and then, like slow motion, a large fish appeared in the afternoon glare about a hundred feet from the boat, slowly moving up the chum slick. We agreed that Def Leppard was a great band, the new singer of Journey was unreal (even though I, for the most part, dislike the band), and Colin Hay (from Men at Work fame) is one of the greatest songwriters of our time. ![]() Jeff and I sat on the boat talking not about fishing, but about music. Good-sized makos and feisty blue sharks kept Jeff and me busy hooking, releasing, and talking about what a unique catch-and-release fly fishery we have only a few miles offshore from San Diego.Īs the afternoon grew late, the tides slacked and the fishing slowed to a halt. My instincts proved correct and within ten minutes of setting up on the “The Dong” (a canyon resembling a large donkey phallus running north-to-south for about a half mile), Jeff was casting to his first mako of the day, a solid 125-pounder that would jump and make a couple of long runs before succumbing to the release stick. The tides looked good, so we went for it. I had been guiding Jeff for a couple of days of pretty decent mako and big blue shark fishing, but the water conditions were shit-cool, green water is not ideal for makos in July, so we had to run to some Hail Mary spots (small, fickle offshore canyons that can make a guide a hero or zero). ![]() But in the back of my mind I knew I’d have an intimate moment with a smaller great white somewhere down the line. I’ve been plying the waters off the San Diego coast for the better part of fifteen years, searching for the perfect mako to catch on the fly, and during this time, I’ve seen two great whites-both were giants and not interested in what I was offering. On July 24, 2009, it just so happened it was Jeff Patterson and me. ![]() It was simply a matter of time before someone caught a great white shark on a fly in Southern California. We offer a platform for Conway’s perspective, because we believe it’s relevant. Recently, he and Jeff Patterson of Abel fly reels landed a juvenile great white shark on a fly, which simultaneously has garnered him praise (for the achievement) and scorn (for hooking an endangered species). Conway Bowman is a veteran shark captain and pelagic species conservationist from Southern California.

We wrote: “ AirVPN is VPN service started by a “small group of activists” in 2010 and is based in the Netherlands.” However, AirVPN is in fact based in Italy. Unlike some other VPNs we’ve looked at, AirVPN seems to be a privacy conscious service, but it’s let down by a badly-written policy.ĮDIT : AirVPN’s rebuttal and our response ![]() AirVPN also suggests that it doesn’t retain web logs, but because it’s not specific, the policy is left somewhat open to interpretation. But AirVPN also doesn’t mention how it responds to DMCA notices and, like most other services we’ve looked at, it also doesn’t mention what it would do if laws in its jurisdiction change. Missing infoĪs we mentioned, the biggest oversight in AirVPN’s privacy policy is its lack of info on data retention periods. Any legally binding policy needs to be clearly written and easily understood. Someone who has little knowledge of how VPNs work also has no idea how long data is typically stored for troubleshooting.Īlso, as the above quote shows, AirVPN’s policy uses somewhat broken English (what does “erogate” mean exactly in this context?). “Data are deleted as soon as they are no more necessary for such purposes” is far to vague to be taken seriously and there is no mention of data retention periods anywhere in the privacy policy. Data are deleted as soon as they are no more necessary for such purposes.”Īgain, AirVPN needs to be more specific and say exactly how long it retains data for. “Data transmission is performed between Air servers network exclusively in order to erogate efficiently the AirVPN service. In particular, AirVPN does not say how the IP address is stored and if it is anonymised. These data are not transmitted to third parties. These data are not collected to identify, through elaboration or any other technique, users' personal identities. “Air servers and software procedures acquire only personal data which are strictly necessary for the technical functioning of the service, for example IP address. Here’s what AirVPN says about the data it logs: But while AirVPN seems to take user privacy seriously, it is let down by some vague language. Out of the three VPN privacy policies we’ve looked at so far in this series AirVPN takes the most sensible and privacy-orientated approach to its customer’s data.
