Seals
Hey,
I live on nantucket sound and have some info for you on the seal deal. The seals winter in the area and the females calve (birth) here in March/April. This remarkably coincides with the herring, etc. run. By June most of the seals head to Maine and Canada. They are Grey and Harbor seals.
I have fished on beaches where the seals are swimming/fishing right with you. They bob on the surface and check you out. Send a heavy lure their way and they are gone in an explosive splash. A friend actuall caught a harbor a couple of years back. It was sad but they seal was beached and the hook carefully removed. It was amazing how calm the animal was. We are sure it recovered as we saw it swimming in a rip for a long time after.
All in all I have caught big bass with seals right in front of me, just not small ones I am sure the small bass aren't too comfortable when the seals are around, but when both are hungry they gotta eat.
Best of luck
