I believe it is more about the bait. Is there bait present down on the Cape? Macks still around here, with herring as well. And the bass are here. (just couldn't find much of either today....)

Sitting on the beach north of Scusset today, I watched full sized gulls work their tail feathers off. I jumped in a friends yak and paddled the mile or so to check it out. It was very large sand eels - like 8" or so. seems like it's gonna blow up in the next few days. Good thing I'm on vacation this week.  |

finally an expert that might be an expert
In the latest Cape Cod Chronicle an expert that has a handle on seal damage.
#1 Grey seals eat 4-6% of there body weight. Aprox44-48lbs a day each seal.
#2 An underwater camera in Bony Eldredge's Fish Weir found seals entering at night an ruining57% of the catch leaving heads and half fish, Eating squid as well.
I don't think you have to be a college grad to figure out that the seals are destroying outer Cape surf fishing let alone destroying the bass population .
I,m glade that the--experts --are finally catching on. Better late than never.

But the challenge is ... that they will likely be too slow in reaction ...
... and in regards to the seals ... it is unlikely that anything will be done about the seals ... until maybe the shark population continues to grow fat off the seals ...
