When I lived in San Diego and fished on the head boats it was almost a daily occurence that the captain would start shooting a mini 14 at any sea lion that approached the boat. This was in mexican waters.. Inside US waters they would lob seal bombs which were pretty much useless. They need to cull atleast 3000-5000 sea lions to make a dent in the population. It was ridiculous. You would hook up on a yellowtail and a big knot head would come in and rip it in half.
