They lock up the beaches for the birds, you think the greenies and the public at large cares about surfcasters- especially when you are talking about "cute, cuddly" seals? The only way they do anything is when the coliform counts from their waste closes the beaches or they toll in the big sharks and close the beaches. When that happens and the chamber of commerce makes an issue of it MAYBE we have a chance. Even then it 's far from a given. Out in California; probably the only state more liberal than ours, they let sea lions sink boats in marinas and can't do anything about it(can't "harass" marine mammals) The sea lions get on the boats till they swamp them, when enough climb on. You can imagine the insurance lobby and marina people are doing whatever they can.(How'd you like to pay thousands for a boat, thousands more to moor it,etc and then not be able to use it, save it, or chase off the sea lions? If they don't have the clout, you think anyone gives a @#$% about nocturnal beach fishermen? I bet were looked upon as vagrants more than tourists as most of us aren't renting condos and expensive lodging if we are spending all night fishing. This is a runaway train type bad situation I'm afraid. We are the last of the buffalo hunters...
