I've only seen seals in NArr Bay very early in the season or late Oct. Saw a huge one tonight pull itself up on the rock on on Providence, thing was huge

pretty strange. freakin forecast was 5mph winds, I was getting blown to hell and couldnt fish eels, ended up heading in around 10, skunked......

Unfun. Do not like seals around here this late. Not digging that at all.

They have colonized Noman's and are now making inroads around Quicks and Robinsons. I'm worried. It only takes a few, and they inevitably hang out in the very best spots to fish. Narragansett could easily be next.

They're eating the Outer Cape and Monomoy dry. My condolences to you RI guys. The bigger picture is that the more they spread, the more awareness there will be of how much an issue the seals cause.

Saw 2 in New Bedford harbor yesterday and 2 more off Dartmouth. Not a good sign.

Our three little grand daughters were afraid to go in the water yesterday. 20-30 grey seals 15ft out in front of them and if we moved ,,they moved probably thinking we had fishing bait going in or hooked fish coming out. The darn things follow you along the beach.
Now I,m talking south beach which is south of Chatham light. That's were the other-- whitey-- stays
