Guys,

I am no scientist but I have heard for many years not to fish when there are seals around. Most of us who fish a great deal have learned that theis is BS. I have caught Stripers, Blues, Albies & bones right in with the seals.

I do however have to disagree with the info on this thread that seals are slower than Bass. I have personally witnessed seals outside of casting range coming up with Albie after Albie on Wasque down the vineyard. Albies are much faster than Bass and the seals can catch them without a problem.

Jusdt my 2 cents
