I know more people who have than have not.
I lost track a long time ago how many times and how many plugs and tins lost to them
First encounter in summer was 1997 south beach, then in 2000 on Nauset I thought I had a cow, turned out after the 4th run I saw the seal pop it's head up, ruined a reel but got the plug and shreaded bass back.
I haven't got a sticker in 4 or 5 years
sometimes there are fish, but too few and far between. maybe once the seals eat all the bait and fish, they will leave, they got it pretty good in their own private playground with nothing to fear. there will never be enough great whites to put a hurting on them
