Was out around grace 2 hr's before low tide today(was the only boat fishing). Tons of fish on the TV. Got 61cm right away( released), another debatable size spit the hook 20 min later. Got a nice one on a couple minutes later, almost got it to boat and a big fat seal ripped it off the hook. Don't think the seal even ate the fish. Next him and two of his buddies followed me for the next 1.5 hr's. They took turns going down deep for many minutes then surfacing. A pall would then take over . The tons of fish that were there ran for the hills when the family of seals arrived. I went home(not happy). How can we deal with this out of control over population of protected seals that are killing are whales and fisheries.
