Here's a related article from the Herald - it says don't go swimming when there are seals around. This should go over big.

I like the part where the owner of a hotel says the seals gotta go. His facts are crazy (he says seals eat their weight in fish each day, and they only eat the fish's stomach), but his point about the seals is correct.

"False but accurate". Where have I heard that ???

Does anyone here have experience and gear for shark fishing? We can take my boat this weekend off chatham? You bring the gear and knowledge and i'll supply the boat and fuel.

I know what you can use as bait - bring a shovel.

MakoMike 08-15-2007 11:24 AM

I have the gear, but I doubt you have a rod holder big enough to hold it! :)

Sluggoslinger 08-15-2007 11:28 AM

Bringing it to the side of a 22' mako might be a little sketchy but it would be one hell of a story...

they need 6 inches of water above their total height to Maintain FULL mobility. So theyre still mobile in like no water, just not fully mobile until they get a bit of water above them.

Yeah you could put a parachute on that last one! :biglaugh:

Rock - right on both counts.

A few years back there was one summer where an immature bald eagle (protected) up at Race Point learned how to tear the plover (protected) enclosures apart to get at the tasty chicks inside. Rumor was that Audobon had video. That must have broke their hearts.

No offense Slinger, but just leave them along IMHO, why screw with them. let them eat the seasl and we'll all be happy

If any of you guys know Captain Lenny Mofo, he's a flats guide down in the Lower Keys around Big Pine Key ... he was out fishing when he saw a tiger shark come up to a sand bar, it was trapped in a small pool and it shimmied over the sand bar on its pectoral fins and back into the channel on the other side ... that's pretty freaky. :conf:

Don't need a shovel. Just bring a club with a spike in the end of it. Fresh bait is best:grins:

I wonder if Big Dave could cast a seal :huh:
