Seals & Bass

[kippy]

I was off of Chatham a few weeks ago and they were all over the place, and aren't afraid of anything. Something needs to be done to control the population as they are pushing out the bass from Monomoy.

Won't be long before seal gangs just come up out of the water to mug you ..Last year at hom I had 5 seals set up right in front of me all wearing those red do rag things giving me the akward eye.. I'm setting up on fish thier setting up on me ..

No sympathy for you, it comes with the territory. Yesterday me and LaPorte and Lafleur went way east o'Chatham. FAC all the way out. I rigged a spreader bar up special Friday night and after it was deployed from up top on the long line aft it was in the water 3 minutes tops when Bang, first tuna on. Set out a blurple daisy with a pinky on the end and five minutes later it gets blasted and we have our second. 5 total then too many boats so we steam southeast for a while and fi9nd some whales and the draggers with fish bustin' around them as they dump the trash and we get blasted 5 more time on the bird chain and gm. Then we decide we have had enough of 30 to 40 lb tunoids and steam west off to the big M and set out 300 yds of wire twice with Uncle Stevies special tied chutes in 65 of water and wham several bass to 37 pounds and a couple ten pound blues so we call it a day and head for the barn. All that and we only burned 23 gallons. Crab had so many boats you could walk across them. We stayed away on the fringe S.E. The one SBFT we kept was stuffed with large sand eels and shrimp ( krill?) about two inches long. Hundreds of them. Great fight on the 30 class. We got it down as a crew and we ain't done with it yet by far.

flap,
OT
(clean out your box)
(nothing to do with seals but)
I was thinking of making a run to crab ledge this week but if it is that crowded I may pass (it is a 40+mile run each way for me). The tuna action here has slowed. Did you go out to the BC bouy at all? I don't mind seeing a few boats around but I hate crowds and tight fishing situations.
