Seals will occasionally hit a lure, especially poppers and needlefish. During the day if you have a fish on you can generally see the seal chase the fish to the top then pursue- just like Shamoo. If you have a bluefish on you can feel the fish fight change, a lot like a livelined bait flees from a bass. Bluefish flee from the seal, bass just take it. At night seals seem stealthier - imagine tying your line to the bumper of a car and the car driving off at 5 mph and you'll get an idea.

the 1st time it's a novely, by the 5th time it begins to get tiring, and by the 10th time you're ready to fight.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

And yes they really like needlefish, come right to the beach in a big wake chasing them, especially with an eelskin or "essence" on them.
