well ya know what Bob, we have Mikey for that

he's the designated decoy

I was doing my best yesterday reeling in bluefish, had 6 or 7 blues on, first 2 or 3 I got in with no seals because they were busy, The next 3 I had to horse them in and skim some of them across the top as a seal chased them down, one follwed it all the way to me when I was actually dumb enough to be standing in the water. One was 9 pounds or so, if that was a bass, I would not have been able to reel it in fast enough. The last one I fought from way out and battled the seal all the way to withing 15 ft of shore and I lost it, I could not believe this 5-600 pound animal would chase a measley bluefish all the way in to less than 2-3 ft of water.
I am done walking 2 miles one way for that idiotic way of fishing, all for 10-15 minutes of action and a chance a maybe a bass.
I knew Eskimos could hunt seals, but we'd have to import them I think, if any native American can do it, then I know many live around here. And actually the father of the girl who is camping with us this weekend is part Native American and he loves striped bass fishing from the beach too, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe we're on to something.
I have my small skiff so after I got sealed sat. am, I took it out and caught bluefish after bluefish 4-10 lbs on light takle and lost only 6 plugs and 3 flies between 2 of us, all the while I could see a fleet of boats out on Billingsgate probably killing the bass, I guess it's time to think about a bigger boat so I can enjoy that too instead of fishing 77 degree waters in the summer.
So far my total from the beach this year stands at 2 twinkees, and I thought last year was bad, this year it's ywice as bad for me, maybe time to take up bait fishing at night again.................
Someone PLEASE get some dog distemper disease and shot it in some seals PLEASE
