It's a tough situation for you guys up there.
They eat just about anything that swims.... sand dabs, sand eels, herring, striped bass... you name it.

Estimates are they need to eat 50+/- lbs a day (per seal)

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Between 80 and 100 harbor seals at a local spot y'day. Didn't see more than 10 at one time at the same spot last year. Maybe they are in because of the herring? No gray seals, yet.
