While fishing 5-6 miles off of Peaked Hill on Monday, saw 4 or 5 seals in about 155-165 feet of water. I've rarely seen seals in those water depths. There is so much bait around, the colony is only going to get larger. I don't hate seals, but it's time to do something.
Those of you who fish the race (from beach or boat) whens the last time you saw window pane or skate? Their disappearance maps to the presence of seals to the year. Seals impacting cod stocks too, both in terms of predation and parasites. How can you manage one species at the expense of another?
