Have not been north of my beach, yet, this year.
Thanks for report...

stiffy.. I do know one thing, saw it plain as day.. we were seeing one, sometimes two, tops three seals over the course of an evening/nights fishing, for most of May...I only went a few times, but talk with the "regulars" dailey (the guys (and gal) that fish 6-7 nights a week), and get BS free reports from most... bait and schoolies, sometimes both, boiling.. then one night.. the tribe of seals returned from their springtime frolicking and juvy seal making expedition.... returned in large #'s litterally hundreds.. pods of 20-30, and multiple pods...
bait, schoolies... exit stage left.... so when you ask if it's about the seals.... I say... YEAH... one of the best unkown bass chasers that fishes hard at the inlet was out there the first night they showed up again in #'s.. he said they were coralling the bass and bait into the last two bars at the inlet.. pushing the bait onto the sand.. there is a channel in the last bar, and he said it was stacked like a herring run at peak, except it was all 13-15 inch bass, sqeezing over into open water, to get away from the feeding pod of Sea Rats.....

Bring back the bounty!!!!!!

I believe the time has come to control the seal population...it is long overdue. If I remember from last year, the reports from the outer cape beaches were lack of bait and stripers as well, probably due to seals. When is the government going to do something?

HAMMER TIME!

Sweetwater, they had a cable across the trail. No one was going to South Race. I truly believe Skittah is correct. All those schoolies didn't eat all that bait, it's the wind. Fish accordinally.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Still too early for the prime race fishing. Be patient for a couple more weeks...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
