HEY Guys, did anybody see the documentary last night on TV - Check 6 News really made it sound bleek for Nanaimo and outlining areas...I'd really like to know what other folks feelings are about this issue. We have been fishing out here all season long, and we really have had no encounters with seals this past year. We hear about the odd angler that complains off and on again about the seals, however so far this year - from Jan until today, we have only talked to two anglers out of hundreds, that have complained about losing fish to local seals.
I know from personal experience, that fishing in the Nanaimo area, we have in the past had many years, where the seals were a huge nuisance to anglers. This season has been opposite to the previous years past...where seals have been involved in chowing down on your catch...I wish the News crew and interviewers would have come down to the local tackle shops or local fisherman to ask their opinions.
It is disapointing to see that they chose to interview only the people that they did. In the past four days, we have got pictures of fish caught in the range as follows: 1 x 8lbs and the additional eleven other fish between 12 and 25lbs. Not one of these proficient anglers were harrassed by a local seals, even though they had seen some seals in the area.
