Wasn't ready to concede that its the seals who are responsible for the decline. After the past two seasons, I can't find any other excuses other than the seals. First hand info from good sources indicates that there is no other isolate. There are fish offshore, but they don't hit the beach with any consistency. Glad I didn't waste time or money on the back side this season or last. Might need to change my name to "rock head" now, though.
