:smash:Talk about "BLUBBER" I wonder how the woman fromR.I. would feel if she was over run with rats.

Time to lob a grenade into that mob!!!:fury:

That sand bar down at the trees used to be one of my favorite spots to fish. A friggin fence to protect them now......what's next???? feeding stations and a day spa for them?

JohnR 09-16-2009 02:32 PM

There it is, one more nail in the coffin folks.

Looks like the guy's one brain cell north of wearing a Pimpn' Eddie Hat...

FishermanTim 09-16-2009 02:55 PM

and they want to institue a salt water fishing license???
If they do, it will be used to feed these POS seals instead of repairing the groundstock the seals help deplete.

Maybe we can knock them out and paint bulls-eyes on their bellies for the sharks to aim for?

New bumper sticker time: Eat seal, taste like pork (the other chicken)

Yep, the trees used to be a great spot....until the seals. Now it is not only a former great spot, it is a closed spot.

Listening to these people is maddening....they have no understanding of the effect these seals are having.

"I think they're majestic"...."I think they're cudddly"......I just can't take it.

Face it--there are more of them than us, and more importantly---they have more money than us.

We're %$%$%$%$ed. :doh:

On the money, Mike. No pun intended. People are so removed from Nature it scares me.

Sigh...all too true. Pet the lovely beavers (unless they build dams to flood our lovely suburban homes in which case we'll declare them rats and kill them all)...pet the lovely wolves (unless they chew on our kids)....pet the deer (unless deer ticks infect us all).
Pet the seals and feed them fish unless they come over and bite our kids? hmmmm.....:devil2:

I haven't seen the fence yet, but was just down at "little" Coast Guard Beach and the east wind has pushed in a nice surf, a few birds working just beyond the sand bar, a couple of obvious holes between the parking lot and H o t Meadow...but I'm sure there're no fish :(

striperman36 09-16-2009 06:26 PM

Don't forget the other protected species, comorants....

JohnnyD 09-16-2009 11:51 PM

I wish the Cape Cast guy would fall into a deep hole at low tide.

Notaro 09-17-2009 01:39 AM

WDF do they even need to watch them for? They ain't that special.

Raven 09-17-2009 04:01 AM

pray for ORCA'S to jump that sand Bar and start munching

She was from Marion MA!!

I saw this coming. Every time I went by that bar close to low water there would be a bunch of tourists walking out on the bar to get closer, even though the signs said to stay the f away. The rangers told me Fish & Game has been monitoring that site, waiting for the chance to cordon it off because of 'human encroachment' (I believe that is the proper euphemism). I'd tell them that there was a heavy fine under the Marine Mammals Act and they couldn't care less - what needs to happen is a couple of high profile arrests and fines. Significantly, the ORV corridor was still open, but next year if the beach changes and things get tight I would imagine it will be shut down. Now that the precedent of cordoning off seal world has been set it will be here for keeps.

Like Redlight says, back when the bar was at that bluff in the background with the trees, that spot was my fishing nirvana.

Paul, the first woman was from Marion,
the second one who gushed, (perhaps you could not watch the whole thing, understandable) was from R.I.


You are so right Mike ...an ominous precedent has now been sent... I fullly expect "seal closures" to be a regular item on the menu now...

they will punish the fishermen, for the encroachment of the curious tourons, and the blubber huggers....:doh:

Idiots and stupid seals.Anyone got a claymore ?

tattoobob 09-17-2009 06:54 PM

You can't blame the NPS or the US Fish and Wildlife

they are just protecting people from there own stupidity

If people arn't smart enough to stay away from the seals then someone has to protect them

Plus who wants to deal with a law suit
