Come on April!!! I can't wait to see how many springers show up!!! or don't.

A buddy and I were anchored up fishing for sturgeon and the only one catching any were the seals. We watched them take 7 sturgeon in about a hours time. Kinda crazy to watch, they were spaced out evenly all the way across the slough like a net doing some damage.

Agreed! They should cut the population back a few... a few hundred that is..

As for California seals up here it wouldn't surprise me. Every other drain on society from down there moves up here so why not the seals also. :twocents:
