Here's a related article from the Herald - it says don't go swimming when there are seals around. This should go over big.

http://news.bostonherald.com/localRe...7267&srvc=home

I like the part where the owner of a hotel says the seals gotta go. His facts are crazy (he says seals eat their weight in fish each day, and they only eat the fish's stomach), but his point about the seals is correct.

"False but accurate". Where have I heard that ???

I know what you can use as bait - bring a shovel.

I have the gear, but I doubt you have a rod holder big enough to hold it!

Bringing it to the side of a 22' mako might be a little sketchy but it would be one hell of a story...

Rock - right on both counts.

A few years back there was one summer where an immature bald eagle (protected) up at Race Point learned how to tear the plover (protected) enclosures apart to get at the tasty chicks inside. Rumor was that Audobon had video. That must have broke their hearts.

If any of you guys know Captain Lenny Mofo, he's a flats guide down in the Lower Keys around Big Pine Key ... he was out fishing when he saw a tiger shark come up to a sand bar, it was trapped in a small pool and it shimmied over the sand bar on its pectoral fins and back into the channel on the other side ... that's pretty freaky.

Don't need a shovel. Just bring a club with a spike in the end of it. Fresh bait is best
