Squid kids Dad · 03-04-2008, 07:02 PM

WOW !!!!!

Cranium · 03-04-2008, 07:32 PM

yup been getting worse every year. Last year they were in the beach channel by the first crossover. Those rocks, and around the corner used to hold some good fish, but since the seals been hit or miss. plus you have to use some pretty long spikes on your shoes to stand on a seal.

BigFish said it 3+ years ago after they decimated the Cape.....I knew they were coming!

Cranium · 03-04-2008, 08:23 PM

whats up BF?

BigFish · 03-04-2008, 08:26 PM

The seal population on the south shore I guess? They suck! How you doing Cranium?

Cranium · 03-04-2008, 08:32 PM

If only we could create some crazy rabid four foot piping plover that eat seals. That would be worth the beach closures. nothing larry, started turning again.

BigBo · 03-04-2008, 08:59 PM

Next thing will be the Capt John boats running Seal Watch Cruises like they're doing on the Cape.

Cranium · 03-05-2008, 07:40 AM

maybe, capt john is under new management. from what I hear they are going to make some changes.

Fishsmith,

Where is the picture of you with your aluminum billy club? Or do you prefer wood, or wrist rocket?

fishsmith · 03-05-2008, 11:12 AM

Beamie, I called up my canadian friends, as soon as the blood dries, fresh seal pelts will be in the classifieds.

I guess they've always been there, but for me, this is the most I've seen, and they're not as skittish as years past.

When folks are getting spooled live lining macks this spring, chances are it's not a record setting bass it's these fat fooks.

You guys made me pull my video out from the dark and share with you what happens to our seal friends.It's becoming a classic quick.Click and enjoy.

Seal Madness

Didn't think I'd be pulling it out so early in the season.

beamie · 03-05-2008, 04:22 PM

That's a pissa video. Just like Bass and Blues pushing pogies. Don't think orcas ever get up this way though. I saw one ine the Pacific about a 12 days out of the Canal about 5 years ago.

I'm hoping they start to migrate up here with great whites. Name: flamethrower.gif

I battled one of those "ba$tages" over a pogey right at that spot last fall from the boat. Had him half way to the boat too. You should have seen all the boats in the area watching me going backwards with the rod bent over....

Of course it never occurred to me at the time what I would do if I actually got him to the boat.

I am not sure where you are but didn't one get stuck in a tidal pool a year or two ago out on the cape..,,, 14ft Great White I think,,,

Excellent Video,,,, The ending was awesome,,,,

Gunpowder · 03-05-2008, 10:13 PM

maybe they will open up the fur trade again

luds · 03-05-2008, 10:18 PM

Hopefully I'll be old and boat bound before they make it up here but I doubt it.

Adam_777 · 03-06-2008, 07:24 PM

The cape needs more great whites to police up the seal infestation.Then some plover eating mammals to take over the beaches early in the season.

gone fishin · 03-06-2008, 09:08 PM

I caught one of them in Scorton Creek last year. They were not chasing herring -just bass.
