I dont think seals have a big effect if any on the fishing on the south shore. The cape is a whole different ball game.

Plenty of dinks around the Cape too! Fishing down there just 2 years ago was the balls....now....just 2 years later....it is horrible and last year was also! You wait 2-3 more years and you might be saying what I think is wrong! I think the dinks up here are just more prevalent because they have the rocks to hide in from the seals.....otherwise they would be harder to come by just like down the Backside! Just my thoughts....time will tell...hopefully time will tell me I am wrong!
Blue Oyster has a point....that "IF" the seals don't eat them all we will have a good class of fish in a few years.....what if they do???  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I'm going to try and get out tonight. You going to be around Slingah? Won't be a late night for me though. But I wanted to check out the spot I was at Sunday afternoon at night. |

We have had big bait in the Harbor Bob? Until last season big bunker was hard to find in these parts.....always plenty of peanuts! I saw no shortage of bait this season or last.

There were tons of large carcasses washed up on the Backbeaches this year. One I even scored a Hopkins in. THAT tells the tale. Seals are killing and eating them, Even stealing fish on the line. Lost a nice 6-7 hundred pounder this year. Seal that is, and my Canal special.

Well my thoughts are if there is big bunker in New Jersey and Rhode Island they have no need to travel any farther they stay with the food sorce at hand, Seals are a huge problem they are even starting up here, today we would find a school catch 2 or 3 and a seal would show up out of no where and the fish bolt.
Fred,
I found a canal special today, think it floated up here?

Bet they don't have seals down there...huh Bob? I do agree with you there though Bob. There have been loads of bunker down there as I have been hearing all season....why would the fish leave that?
