Seals in Salem

[luds]

Ross,

I've seen a couple resting on your beach over the past couple season. Almost tripped on one of them. Scared me half to death.

Sorry to hear. It's only a matter of time before they start following you and taking your fish.

same thing happened to me the other day...almost tripped over a harbor seal pup on that same beach...

Saw one while trolling near Harding's Ledge last week. Thought it was a dogfish finning the surface...His (or her) head came up about 10 ft from the boat...stoppped the motor...we sat and looked at each other for a few minutes and it swam away...funny! It was small and grey in color...about 3' long. Not sure about the difference between harbor and grey seals but it was definitely grey.

I just saw one in Fairfield, ct a few hours ago. It was about 20 yards away from me. As it went under, I told my friend next to me who didn't believe me. About 15 sec. later, it saw about 3 feet away from him. He jumped back and thought it was some sort of huge fish.
