Lack of Stripers on the Beaches. Seals a problem.

[Woofish]

I have concluded my worst Striper season ever fishing off of the beaches on the Cape. It has been so bad I can not ever get motivated to give it a try. Every time I go out all I see is the happy face of some seal peering at me. I feel the seals are not the only problem with the striper fishing, but they are a big contributing factor when you fish from the beaches. Lack of bait on the beach, commercial bycatch, and a general reduction in the population are also contributing factors. Since I have not been fishing, I decided the other day to start a website about seals. If you have any stories about seals or information that would be helpful please let me know. You can access the seal site from *removed link* and click the seal button. I hope everyone had a better season than I did fishing for stripers.....Woo
