For the entire season, the spots I fish on a regular basis have been devoid of any fish of size.....been lots of them just no keepers except for the occasional "gift"! These spots have always paid off in years past and this year.....they have not! My theory of why this is is simple....."SEALS"!!! I fished 4 spots today.....and at each spot there were seals! I have seen them almost every time out at every one of my usual haunts this season.....and not just the occasional harbor seal as in years past! I am seeing the big black monsters that have ruined the Cape fishing!! These giant slime covered rats are infesting the entire coast of Mass from Cape Cod all the way to Boston harbor! Not sure if they are as common on the North Shore but they are alot more common on a daily basis here on the South Shore than in years past! I fear this is just the beginning.......it will get alot worse if my theory is correct and I pray I am wrong! I have probably caught over 350 fish in the past 2 weeks and not one keeper!!!!! Not one!! I find that unusual.....very unusual!!
