Westport sea lions. Nuisance or hazard? - 05/18/09 09:05 PM

Buddy called me today about a hair-raising tale of one bold and brazen Steller sea lion that stole a 25# halibut right off of his cutting table while filleting the fish! And with half of the meat still unrecovered from the carcass! Steller came clean out of the water to snatch it... good thing someone's hands weren't in the wrong place!

FYI the number branded on the beast is #105. I suspect it was marked as part of the Columbia River sea lion project.

Another fur bag was on the scene as well... a Cali marked #1028. Probably another CR deliquent.

Fish checker had a story about one stolen right out the back of somebody's transom Igloo while he was busy maneuvering the boat. Apparently the big halibut's exposed tail was enough of a dinner bell to attract the thief.

It's only a matter of time before some one gets hurt in one of these incidents. These things have no fear of man, and have come to associate Homo sapiens with a free lunch!

Anyone else got a story to tell? Any numbers to help us track down the worst offenders?

There was a post on Salmon University fishing reports about a sea lion that jumped onto the dock and snatched a Halibut off of a cleaning table. Definitely hazard.

They are getting pretty aggresive at westport this year. The fish checker has been checking all mine in the boat this year and had one trying to climb in. The problem is the fish being cleaned on the dock or the carcases thrown in after the fish checker measures them. If there was no food they wouldn't be a problem. I leave mine whole then feed the remains to the coyotes and bald eagles in the field. They love me.

Well Doc the story is true!! Here goes .....After reeling up 700+ feet all day and not getting any big guys to bite I just take the next fish between 25 -30 lbs .We arrive at the launch to clean the boat and fish and while docking a sea lion greats us NO BIGGIE to me.Went to get table in truck and set it up next to the boat leaving about a foot of dock space.Pulled out two halibut and set them on the table. Terry and I start to clean them.I finished one side and turned over to cut down the lateral line from the tail to the head and my fish starts sliding off the table CRAP!so I grab the head and see why it was sliding off... M***&^%$#R came up on that 1 foot of dock space bit the tail and started sliding back in the water.Now at 6' 240lbs I ain't a small dude so the tug-a-war was on!!! Thought just maybe the tail would come off but no I couldn't get that lucky.As the fish continues to head toward the water so am I and I ain't about to get wet so once the fish is completely off the table I let go and say you win and a few other choice words.Sucker came back and started barking at us for more after it finished my halibut.

So yea I still have all my fingers one dime size scar on hand from the table and half a halibut.

Here is the culprit

Re: Westport sea lions. Nuisance or hazard? - 05/19/09 04:29 AM

Nope... my story was another unique episode.

Buddy came in with FOUR halibut but only left the marina with 3 - 1/2.

Same scenario, though... portable dockside cleaning table whipped out after a long day on the water.... and an unwanted furbag thinking a place-setting was put out just for his main course.

I notice your furbag has no unique identifier branded to his hide.

Got a call out to the Westport harbormaster who is both a friend and patient.

Re: Westport sea lions. Nuisance or hazard? - 05/19/09 04:46 AM

My story is the same one on Salmon University.

Todd Girtz called the harbormaster and WDFW and complained.Todd told my buddy one of them said can't do anything till someone gets hurt WTF rolleyes

Told the same story to Steve Ng Sat at LaPush the look he gave me.. Stunned!!

I just have to ask Ya all PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE SEALIONS!!!

I still say, if the Indians insist on their right to fish, because of their deeply held ancient beliefs and ceremonies, then they should be required to follow all their ancient rites. I.e., all Indian from this area in the past were buried in seal/sealion skins. I think they should be held to this practice, or give up their rights, because of their ceremonial rites to catch fish from depleted fish runs.

Maybe it is time to make a few cardboard cut-outs and casually wait with a baseball bat. Bruises wouldnt be visable and it might even be fun. I would probably buy a halibut just for the chance to extract some revenge for my several lost fish over the years.

Big time Hazard.I had two coho ripped out of my hands while dipping them in the boat basin for a quick rinse down in Hammond a few years back.I could have lost my hand.I bought and installed a wash down after that situation.I alway's think of that morning every time I see the doc releasing kings out in the harbor as he's leaning over the boat,it's only a matter of time some one get's hurt during the glory shot.Clean your catch up @ the cleaning dock or in your boat and use a wash down.The day one of those fur bag's enters the boat for a meal it's game on and self defense.Good luck,

I used to bleed my coho on a short rope between the motors until one stuck his head right next to the spinning prop and ripped a nice one off the rope. Even though there has been a lot of sea lions around for decades they were never an issue for me so my thinking is the food supply is dwindling making them more desperate.

My only comment is kill the bastards. They've become way too habituated to human's and it needs to stop. I bet if we could shoot a few of them this crap would stop. I don't think they like seeing their buddies being killed.

I think that year, one tried grabbing a little yapper-dog off of a moving boat too. Crazy.

+1 for hazard. A shy black bear is spotted in a residential neiborhood in north seattle sniffing at trash and whole team of Wildlife enforcment officers is dispatched. Sealions snatch pets and directly threaten humans in busy coastal marinas and nothing is done. confused What's it going to take? Ol' Hershel to get a hold of a kid? That bear didn't.

Re: Westport sea lions. Nuisance or hazard? - 05/19/09 04:54 PM

A few years ago I was casting plugs for the fall coho near the Islander. Hooked a fish and this big, scary Califonian sent a chill up my spine. He knocked the fish off my line, and hopped up on the dock my way.
I drew my side arm and he never took it to the next level.
Didn't hook another fish there.

It's not normal to have to worry about these critters in the boat basin.
The Coast Guard asks if I have any weapons aboard... Kind of like the Grey Poupon commercial, "But, of course!"

Re: Westport sea lions. Nuisance or hazard? - 05/19/09 06:22 PM

So I have contacted Coast Guard, Harbor Master and then NOAA and their person sent me this link.

"I have attached a couple of documents that you can review on how to deter pinnipeds and what deterrence methods are legal. I would suggest getting in touch with Special Agent Mickey Adkins if you have additional questions or concerns, he is aware of the issues in the Westport Marina and is working with our office on how to solve some of the problems people are experiencing. Mickey can be contacted at mickey.adkins@noaa.gov or can be reached at his office, 360-268-6239."

I suggest we give them the word repeatedly on this crap before someone is injured!

The one that stole our fish was the same black Stellar ROCK has the image of. It happened on Float 5 near the end where there were kids and others crabbing. I can't say for sure the number was 105 because I was never able to see that myself. I do know it's Cali counterpart was 1028 for sure! I had to blow wtaer hose in it's face to keep it off the dock.

We weren't throwing any body parts into the water since we were saving them for crabs later so it wasn't like we were asking for it. Everyone needs to really think about that picture you want to take holding them up on the dock they might come missing!! Pass the word!!

I support the enviroment 100%, but with that said we need to show these sea mammals whos boss. If it takes a Rifle than more power to it. These animals are very intelligent. Infact they are so smart that They have obviously come to the conclusion that we do not have the guts to alter this behavior. Unfortunatley this behavior is becoming more and more common each year.

This needs to get handled, violently if necessary!

Re: Westport sea lions. Nuisance or hazard? - 05/20/09 02:30 PM

Here is my sea lion story from last spring. A couple of buddies decide we are going to skip work for the afternoon and go set some prawn traps. We figure what the heck lets go pick up the girls. Its a nice day. So we pull up to my house and Carol and our 6 year old jump on with the buddies daughter who is 7. I slide the boat off the beach and one buddy starts yelling at the top of his lungs. l look over and see what appears to be a large seal acting very aggressive. As I am putting out past my bouy (100' from shore) I see that it is a medium sized California Sea Lion and it is coming perpendicular towards the boat. This is when I realize that the thing is going to try to jump in the boat. Sure as [censored] he does his best Carl Lewis triple jump impression and lands halfway into the starboard side of the boat snapping teeth and all. In the melay the small girls are grabbed by the adults and I pop the boat up on plane in disbelief. Buddy is yelling again that its chasing us. I yell hang on and pound the trhrottle down. Sealion is then jumping wakes and makes it halfway in the boat again this time on the stern. That was the craziest thing I have ever had happen. I was in disbelief and the girls and the rest of the adults were shaken pretty badly.

After some phone calls to WDFW and NOAA I was told that you are able to defend yourself if your life is in danger, but you better have definitive proof. Touching off a round from the 06 off the front porch doesnt cut it. Furbag in the boat attacking me. Hells yeah its gonna die. Weapons on board with the kids has not been my favorite idea, however that situation could have gotten very bad very quickly and Im not going to take a chance on getting someone hurt because some furbag is having a bad hair day.

Doesn't protection of property count for anything down there? I know it's the land of the liberal, but dang. When stuff like this starts happening with bears up here (AK), they either move them or kill them in the public's interest. Moving doesn't seem to be very cost effective nor does it solve the problem, as they come back.

Hazing Sea Lions To Protect Salmon


Since early March, the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho have had federal permission to kill sea lions that prey on endangered salmon in the Columbia River.

The animals congregate near the Bonneville Dam, where salmon make for easy targets.

So far, wildlife managers have euthanized 10 sea lions. But there's also an effort underway to protect the salmon through hazing their predators.

Sadie Babits went out on the Columbia River to observe these scare tactics first-hand.





Bobby Begay steers his small boat up the Columbia River. His ties to the salmon here go back generations. As a member

Thats becoming a scary place to fish at night. I've been all over AK but that is the only place I have ever felt it necessary to carry a gun while fishing. (bears) I had a Black bear scare the [censored] out of me one time up there, walked down the river a ways and some A-hole from Anchorage feeding said bear. His excuse was he knew all about bears and that I should mind my own business. It didn't end well for him, had to talk to the park ranger and a trooper a bit later and was let off with a warning and a snicker.

You might keep that hockey stick handy for that bear that's roamin the town though Dave. They have a bit shorter reach than the cougars and I think they said he is only about 125lb, a little under your "usual" weight class, you should be fine.
