I remember back just to 2003 it was an oddity to see a seal....just one maybe two and we found it curious. I knew there were many off Chatham but never saw many off the backside! Then 2004.....there were more of them and the fishing began to plummet!!! 2005.....last year was horrible down there....watching pods of seals patrol the beach spread out like soldiers just so far apart and seeing them downing 15 pound bass and blues like pez from a dispenser........and the occasional fisherman would hook up with one or battle one for the fish he hooked!!!! This year........just horrible, and I thought it could get no worse than last year!!! We have not seen the worst yet....wait till next year I am afraid!!!! This year the few times I was down there I witnessed groups of at least 20 seals just lazing about in one spot......that was not seen just 2 years ago.....will Cape Cod surf fishing ever be good again???
