I saw more seals this year than ever and I do not fish that part of the Cape. During the first week of June I was fishing at middle ground between Martha's Vineyard and Woods Hole. The fishing was hot and then the bite shut off real quick. I look over a short time later and there is a huge seal. A seal in June in that area is basically unheard.
Not done. Last week of August i was fishing on the Vineyard Sound side of Naushon Island and I look over and see a seal porpoising through the water.
No wonder there were more sightings of Great White's in that area than ever before.
I feel really bad for you guys on the outer Cape. I never really fished there, but a few times. I know that the fishing there used to be outstanding and now I just hear horror stories involving seals.
