With all the seals on the backside, there's no point even trying to fish there unless it's at night. Last couple years, all you need to do is be at the water's edge for 10-15 minutes and one of those POS seals pops its head out of the water looking for a hand out.

We need the bounty back.

The windows of opportunity there are getting VERY VERY short. Hopefully it comes back into balance with a seal black plague!

It's called distemper and it will come sooner or later.

I also miss the old days Larry. Spent half my fishing life on the Back. I knew every hole from the Mission Bell to High Head. LeCount, Ballston, Clay Banks (not many know where that is), Lauras, The Bird Houses, 2tenths hole, Peaked Hill. Man, we use to crush fish and have a great time with really good fishermen all around us.

Vic is no doubt right . The fish are still there but with the bird closures and the seals, I haven't gotten a pass since 2003. Just not worth a 300 miles R/T

No boat, back in the suds.

They sure are but not like how it is during the day. Like I said above, you stop anywhere for 15 minutes and you'll see one of those turds bobbing around in front of you. Last year, we had a couple seals that literally followed us up and down the beach in our trucks.

However at night, they don't seem to be nearly as intrusive. Birds, seals, closures, overfishing.... it all just sucks.
