Two of us fished from kayaks today in Duxbury Bay. All in all a great day. Hooked two fish - one each - and one was a keeper, although we put it back. But the best part was the seal that surfaced 20 feet away and eyed us for a good 10 minutes. He dove and surfaced again and again to see what we might be doing. We finally drifted away and didn't see him again. Are seals in the bay common?

it was waiting to see if you were going to throw lunch to him.

Unfortunately, they may become MORE common as their numbers increase unchecked. You understand the problems they present when you hook into a bass and have a seal rip it off your line, or better yet, take you on a "Nantucket Sleighride" from hell.
