wait till these things show up in montauk, those guys don't play! there'll be seal bodies everywhere!

I saw seals last fall in Montauk. I wonder if there are more sharks in those waters to keep the numbers down.

every time you see seals -> throw some their way..

as sharks can smell a drop of blood from 5 kilometers away

which is a little over three miles..

just look at the amount of seals on the rocks of south africa where all those great white videos are taken. sharks are never going to control the seal population to a level that we as fisherman will be happy with. they, sharks, are not that plentiful and there would be no survival advantage to them to move in and wipe out the population. at most, just enough of them will move in to take advantage of the current population IMO.

montauk is warmer, that's why there are fewer seals there IMO.

Excellent point....
