getting to know thy enemy

Better of forgetting about the plovers and concentrate on the seals. The seals are not endangered, just protected by the marine mamma; protection act. The plovers are on the endangered list and its almost impossible to get soemthing taken off that list. Look at the fight going on about wolves and grizzly bears!

Bruce - you are always welcome in RI...

as for the seals? For the plovers? For the access?

Seems like we are in a bit of a box, aren't we?

Slip did a lot better then me getting em by the seals this weekend. He calls it "combat fishing". I need to bring a video recorder with me next time. Slip, skipping a fish atop the water at lightning speeds, the big wake of a giant seal right on it's arse. Lots of cursing, splashing, and plug losing. On one of Slips attempted speed retrieves a seal came close enough to him I thought it was literally going to knock him over. Not my idea of fishing. Thank God they were just rat blues, or no fish would have gotten by. It seriously is almost getting impossible to land a nice fish at first light out there. If the good fish are there, the seals are there too. The way I'm starting to look at it is I'm 2hrs closer to RI.
