Ok i think there are 2 dif. positions on this. I wouldn't want to waste the time going out after a sea lion/ seal or anything els like them. but If I am out and I have one that is trying to take the fish off my line that I am trying to land then It had better look out.What is natural about one of them things trying to take a fish that is on a line? Natural is them finding thier own fish that have a chance of getting away and arn't tied up. I don't bother with them when they are minding thier own business but if they wanna try and take my fish then I might take a sinker and toss it out of the boat in that direction or if I have a sling shot I might use it. Some guys I know of like to shoot bottle rockets in the water and they hear it and get away.

just another 2 bits.
