Seal Spy Glasses
 
Does anyone know if they make a relatively inexpensive pair of inferred/ night vision binoculars that would be useful in seal spotting at night on the beaches? That way you can scan the water for seals at the beach before wasting time fishing. Or for those times when you're pounding fish and have them suddenly stop, keep fishing, then not discover till the sun comes up that there are 30 seals in front of you?

I know they make rifle scopes like that, but...............

Look on Ebay for those cheap Russian light amplification types :huh: - Wonder if they'd see Fire in the water from basses moving thru the biolumin.... :humpty:

I found them online for 450$ I will let you buy them mike. I couldn't believe the amount of seals sunday morning, that explained the lack of fish. Will they ever go away!?

yea as soon as they take that Great White from Woodshole and a few of its friends up there to feed!

try a reg. pair of binoculars ...they work rather well...I used them on the beach at nite to see who's catching way down from me.

Cabela's and the like sell night vision binoculars. And they are not alot of money. My father got a pair, we watch deer and other wildlife at night during the summer out of the camp window.

I'm with CS. A good pair of 7x50 marine binoculars will be enough to spot a seal, even on a new moon. With any kind of moonlight you could read a newspaper at 400 yards :D
