Makai is right the same thing happened on the flats in Chatham. The seals are an absolute nuisance on the cape. The eastham side of the nauset cut is also loaded with them. That cut on the inside used to be loaded with flat fish not anymore. I hate seals. Everytime I hear about white sharks it makes me happy. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
There will never be enough sharks to put a dent in the seal population. The only things that will make any real difference is disease, starvation, or a bounty. Disease and starvation are likely as the numbers have swelled dramatically and they've eaten just about everything that swims and is smaller than they are.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
I still love that place and will get a sticker every year until I can't. The wifey likes it, that makes things a bit easier for me. If you're willing to walk a bit or have a kayak/boat to get by the seals, you can still have epic days. I remember when I had to smuggle pizza in over the dunes from the airport one year when I was trying to get my sticker. That's how crowded it used to be. I still was a bait dunker back then. The coffin was always full. Things have changed.
I will be right there with you Mike
