This is the truth, /\ They are smart animals, I've had them follow me for quite a distance on cape beachs.

You may see one while your walking, then next thing you know there's 2 or 3 around when you start to fish, day or night it makes no difference.

R. Point can be so bad it's not worth fishing at times.

I've never even though of trying to fight one, they are HUGE animals, I cut my line and save what I can. After reading this thread I'm going to try waiting one out, let him eat the fish, and see if I can get my plug back.
