I'm wondering what size of a flasher you would need as a lead for a Hobie Outback fishing from a Coast Guard boat?

I think getting the right spin on the Outback might be problematic.

With a good pair of leg straps I think you might be able to pull it of Roger, just leave Pepper at home that day. 😉

It was two miles out and trailing behind a pod of grey whales.  I doubt it had the time or the inclination to bother anyone.
I expected the worst, but it was worse than I expected...

Like 5 years ago in September I was out in my buddies powerboat fishing for bottom fish just south of Depoe Bay when a shark of 12 to 14 feet long swam up and checked us out. Got within 8 feet of the boat. Was either a tiger or great white. I thought it looked more like a tiger.

A day without fishing probably wouldn't kill me,
but why risk it?

But yours is a false belief... ;D  https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2016/10/sharks_of_the_oregon_coast.html (second from bottom).

Not so fast.

Range: coastal tropical and subtropical waters off both coasts of North America, Africa, Asia and Australia
Typical Oregonian garbage reporting, facts, science. Who needs it?
While it got warm earlier this year, we're not sub-tropical.
While we have visitors from warmer waters most summers, dorado and marlin come to mind, there's no population of tiger sharks off the coast.

Yeah when I got home that day I googled shark of the Pacific, maybe even Oregon, idk.
It was for certain not a Basking shark, didn't have the tail of a thresher. The size pretty much narrowed it to Great White or Tiger and I swear I could see the stripes of a Tiger, but it may have just been from the water surface. It was 3 to 4 feet down. Never broke the surface with a fin. If I hadn't been at the rail jogging for bottom fish wouldn't have even seen it.
All I knew was two weeks earlier I had been in the same area in my kayak and this Shark was as big as my OK Trident 4.3.
My friends asked what I would do if I saw that from a kayak. I assured them that the smell of me pooping myself would probably deter him from coming any closer. But also, in a kayak I probably wouldn't even have known it was there and ignorance is bliss!

When the Newport Aquarium says tiger sharks occasionally show up in Oregon coastal waters, I tend to believe them.  But that's just me.

That's the key, occasionally.
The Oregonian says "Sharks of the Oregon Coast".
We don't consider folks from Alabama to be Oregonian's when they visit, nor should we this shark.
I've seen a great white as well.
I was fishing for calico bass within sight of Nixon's old house in San Clemente in a 14 foot inflatable.
Sitting on the port tube looking forward and I saw motion out of the corner of my eye.
Looked over and I could have reached down and touched it.
Easily as long as my little boat.
Go out far enough at PC and you can play with the blues, they're pretty skittish though.
