In relation to your post, I had a battle with a seal, this last blackmouth season. I was on a guided trip(not too cheap). I brought a friend as a gift, and they had never caught a salmon.
Well my friend did hook into a nice little 12#BM.
Now we were into the bait, and the poles started lighting up! I hooked into a nice fish, only to see a seal grab onto it. The skipper did not want to lose his precious dodger, so we chased the seal for 30 plus minutes(my arms were jello).
Another guy on the boat, who wanted to chase a seal, got his wish as well.(another 30 plus minutes) Anyhow to the point!!
The seals and sea lions are becoming ALOT!! more agressive every year, so something has to be done, (seal bombs barely phased this group).So I for one without getting into a war with somebody agree with somehow, reducing the population!!
I am a native to the area, and I know it is getting worse.I will leave the guides name anonymous, so don't ask!! (320.00 for a seal chasing trip!) It has since been talked about, and he is a nice guy, so it is not an attack on this guide.
